Take a walk on the quiet side

Welcome to Whittle Pines, a registered historical home that’s been in the same family since 1926. The home, updated and maintained over the years, still preserves the history and character of a different era in Highlands.
The main level has a large living area with cable TV and lots of room for gathering. There’s a separate dining room (seats 6-8) next to the well-equipped kitchen. The main level bedroom is handicap accessible and offers a King bed, room A/C unit, TV and full bath with walk in shower. There’s a nice sized back door entry/sun room accessed by ramp that has a half bath and laundry. Covered front porch with rockers overlooks expansive lawn.
Upper level has a hallway bath with an antique tub (no shower there), bedroom (#2) with Queen bed, another bedroom (#3) with two twins, and the #4 bedroom, considered to be the second Mst. BR has a Queen bed with TV, and full bath (walk in shower- no tub)
The property is protected by lush rhododendrons, trees and bushes which form a natural boundary for privacy. The large lawn is perfect for a picnic on the grounds, exploring, sitting around the fire pit telling stories, or a game of badminton.

Whittle Pines is a short,leisurely walk to Main Street, restaurants, live theater, library, churches and lots of unique shopping experiences.

Historic home walking distance from highlands. The wall heating units take a minute to figure out but would come again.

Wonderful stay!
Our family had a relaxing time in Highlands Labor Day weekend. This house is very close to downtown. We walked in to town most days. Great time!

Great location with serene surroundings
This is our second stay at this location and it has served as a great “home base”, once again. The house is older and a bit dated but clean in general. The grounds are really great with plenty of green space and well cared for. The location is about three or four blocks from Main St. so it is a short and scenic walk to the center of town. We’d definitely stay again

Great location just walking distance from Main Street
The property was very nice on approx 2 acres. It is an older home but it was well kept and in my opinion very cozy and laid back. My only problem was that the property manager did not return my calls or email regarding how to check in. I literally had to make four separate attempts to finally get some information on where to pick up keys. So property good! Location great! Management company, meh at best. A communication in advance of arrival is pretty standard in my vrbo experience so this was definitely not the norm

Charming
Charming old house. Some aspects could use updating. Oven door was locked and would not open. One of the stove burners wouldn’t work. Garbage disposal non functional as well. Missed a few housekeeping details such as guest beds not fully made. Overall a nice place and would stay there again.

Great location/ Old house
House is in a great location, and had plenty of space for our group of 8. We had no heat upstairs on our first night (propane heater and gas to house was not turned on). I got a response on my 2nd call to agency (about noon). Heaters were very tricky to light. We had to call agency again about 6pm- got a very quick response then. With a large group, be mindful that hot water heater can not handle multiple showers at once. Other little glitches with house: remote control didn’t work in Master and half-bath door didn’t lock. Yard was really big and outdoor fire pit was awesome.

Visit to Highlands
a lovely 1900s farmhouse with almost 3 acres. My favorite part was sitting on the porch with a coffee and watching a young deer eat little crab apples. Very convenient location yet private and rustic. I would definitely go back!
