Say hello to your own private wooded escape and spoil the whole family with a stay at Judge's Hilltop, a four-bedroom home with all feels of a rustic cabin yet all of the modern comforts you need for a comfortable stay. Start each morning on a tasty note and brew a pot of coffee, or keep it simple with the Keurig! While you are in the spacious kitchen, take advantage of the gas range, ample utensils, and expansive countertops to prepare a full breakfast for the gang before a full day of adventure. During warmer times of the year, the furnished wraparound deck will be just the place to let go and reminisce with loved ones while sipping a glass of wine. If you want a bit more privacy, the gazebo and other sitting areas on the property will give you that sweet serenity and quiet that is much-needed to rest and recharge. If indoor entertainment is what you are after, the poker table in the loft and TV in the living area have you covered!

We had a delightful stay at this home that is nestled among the trees but right off the main road. It was quiet and peaceful. The deck is a great place to sit and relax. Lots of beds and living room was very comfortable. Far enough out of Highlands to avoid the crowds but close enough to get to town easily.

The house was clean and had a nice layout for our family. Somewhat dated and dishwasher leaked, pocket door in bathroom wouldn’t work and the ceiling was leaking over the stairs when we arrived in the rain.

This is one of the most beautiful places. It is close to the market, close to the hike to the mountain, and close to the National Forest. You cannot beat the scenery. The house was amazing because it contained details of our American Indian Heritage throughout this home. It is graciously secluded in a space just below a mountaintop and everyone said that the atmosphere has never been better. This our first time that we have been to the mountains and we were never disappointed. Thank you.

This home was perfect for our team. It had plenty of room, was very clean and super quaint. It had all of the details we needed. Thank you for the stay.

4/10

The management company responded quickly to cleaning issues. House was not serviced properly prior to arrival. Property needs a lot of maintenance-yard not usable as is-standing water, overgrown vegetation and dangerous stairs/walkways. House could be a real gem. Beautiful interior wood, good family room that accommodates a lot of guests and close to town. Good layout for multiple couples. Difficult with young children but older kids would enjoy upstairs bunk beds. FYI-no closets for hanging items.
