We had a great relaxing time in a wonderful home in the mountains of the Highlands. Autumn was ON and it was so beautiful. The house was clean, nice and the kitchen was fabulous, a cooks kitchen for sure. Our bed was very very comfortable and so was the hangout spaces around the house. We will be back!

We absolutely loved our stay at this home! It was impeccably decorated – every detail felt thoughtful and high-end. The renovated finishes and bedding made it feel like a luxury retreat. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed, including a crockpot and 3 coffee maker options - classic, Keurig, and Nespresso - with coffee provided for each! As a family traveling with small children, we appreciated the crib, high chair, and kids’ plates & utensils. Everything was spotless and so comfortable, and we truly felt right at home. A few notes for future guests: the road up to the house is steep with a few large potholes currently, so an SUV is best. The main living room seating was a bit limited for our group (6 adults + 3 little ones), but we easily pulled in extra chairs and enjoyed using the downstairs space for a football game; it has a big TV and plenty of seating. All in all, a wonderful stay that exceeded our expectations. We’d rebook in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful long weekend here! The house had excellent views, the interior was clean and beautiful, and it was only a few minutes drive to main street. We can't wait to visit again.
