Stag Ridge exceeded our expectations! Such a peaceful setting, tucked away within minutes of downtown Highlands. The well equipped kitchen, luscious linens, fireplace and cozy elevated decor made us feel so at home it was definitely hard to say goodbye! Def want to return for another visit! Thank you for creating such a welcoming experience for our girls getaway!

Absolutely perfect - beautifully decorated, high end appliances, beautiful furnishings, and gorgeous finishes throughout - more room than we needed. The lower level was a great bonus - the large rear deck was a hit for the little ones to be outside and play. We had everything we needed there, so much was provided including nice toiletries. The basics were also provided, paper goods, trash bags, lots of coffee options, dinner ware, dish soap, the every day stuff, plastic wrap and tin foil, all the kitchen needs, bathroom needs, even laundry detergent, dryer sheets, a hand steamer in the primary suite. Host was quickly responsive to all our questions. We will definitely stay there again. Close location to town, maybe a 5 minute drive. Can’t wait until the next visit :)

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!
