We had an amazing family experience in the Highlands. The house was perfect for our family and two little ones. The proximity to the highlands downtown, nature center, hikes and restaurants was great especially having young kids that wanted to explore but also get back for naps. The house had an amazing layout with multiple stories, amenities such as outdoor fireplace and fire pit as well as anything you would need to be comfortable in the kitchen or bedroom. Highly recommend and would love to come back.
