Your kitchen opens to a lovely dining room, which leads to the soaring two story great room, with tongue and groove ceilings and a rustic stone fireplace for those cool Highlands nights. From the great room, step out onto the newly expanded deck with enough room for grilling and dining, as well as a cozy conversation area with a gas fire pit for relaxing with coffee, or a cocktail! A spacious master bedroom with a king size bed, and a fully stocked modern ensuite bathroom, leads to another walkout to the deck.

This was a wonderful cabin for our 4 day stay in the mountains. We had everything that we needed and felt like we were home with all of the comforts! The neighborhood was perfect for walking our dogs and we were close to everything. It was beautifully furnished, comfortable beds, and the kitchen was well equipped. We will definitely choose this cabin when we visit again!

Cannot say enough about this wonderful home. It has everything to make a vacation comfortable and easy. The well-equipped kitchen makes cooking and good coffee (a priority in my house) easy.And the views of the mountains from the deck are amazing! Downtown Highlands is at most 10 minutes.

This was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay during a vacation in Highlands! The cabin was clean and located in a beautiful neighborhood. We were within 15 minutes of the hikes that we wanted to do and we were within 5 minutes of downtown Highlands, so the location was very convenient! We loved sitting on the back porch amidst the trees in the afternoons. The host responded quickly when I had a question about check out. We would definitely love to stay here again when we visit Highlands in the future!

We loved our stay at the Red Top Treehouse! It was the perfect mountain getaway, peaceful, beautiful, and so well thought out. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need, making it easy to cook and enjoy dinner on the deck. The entire place was spotless and welcoming, and our host, Joann, was friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this little slice of mountain heaven!

Honeymoon Stay

Perfect getaway for our honeymoon. The cabin was extremely clean and very spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and the bathrooms had plenty of towels and toiletries. Loved that it was so close to the town of Highlands. The owners made check-in very easy and gave us their phone numbers in case we needed to contact them, which we did not.

Perfect mountain stay…

Our cabin stay was a perfect mountain interlude. It is a beautiful property and perfectly appointed with everything you could need. The bed was very comfortable, and my compliments to the housekeeper for the pristine condition of everything. We relaxed in front of the fireplace on rainy days and enjoyed the forest view and beyond from the comfortable deck chairs when the weather cleared. It’s a quick trip to town and near many beautiful waterfalls and scenic overlooks. I would definitely stay here again!

Very relaxing and comfortable

Our month long stay in this home was perfect. The house is well furnished and completely stocked with everything you would need. We especially enjoyed the deck and some evenings we used the outdoor fire - We rarely used the upstairs tv area as we were too busy walking and playing pickle ball and reading - a totally relaxing stay getting out of the heat at home. Owners were available if there were questions- I would highly recommend renting this property.

Best appointed VRBO ever!

Arrived on Valentine's Day. A bottle of Cava waiting for us! Great communication and absolutely the best appointed VRBO of the many I have stayed in. Clean, so well stocked and comfortable, we only left twice for dinners out. Great info in neatly organized notebook. Last half mile to home is a bit of adventure first time, but easy after that. We couldnt have been more pleased. Thanks Joann and Mike

Location! Location! Location!

Red Top Treehouse Cabin had everything we needed plus a great location! The tree top views from the back deck were a great way to start and end each day. We really felt like we were in the mountains but could get to downtown in minutes. Our group saw one bear (thankfully from inside our car) and several deer. We loved walking the sweet mountain roads in this neighborhood. The roads are steep and narrow so bring a car suited for this type of driving - we thought is added to the adventure! The hosts were very easy to communicate with and pompt to respond.

Fabulous cottage

Everything literally from soup to nuts was provided by the hosts. We wanted quiet and relaxing which is exactly what we got. Cabin is professionally decorated, spacious, extremely clean and comfortable. The only drawback for us was accessing the location which proved stressful since it is physically too difficult for us to back up if necessary on a narrow, steep, winding one lane road. Other than than the roads, we would not hesitate to book again. By far, the best Vrbo we ever stayed in.
