Take a deep breath, enjoy the fresh air, and let the stress melt away.
And here's a little bonus: Harris Lake is just a few steps away! Take a leisurely stroll by the water and say hello to the resident ducks and geese. Feel free to bring a little snack for your feathered friends—they amazingly ALWAYS seem hungry!

Charming home in a perfect location. We parked the car upon arrival and were able to walk to all our favorite spots in town. The owners were responsive and helpful when needed. I’d be happy to stay there again. The only thing I would add would be soft seating on the porch.

We had a great stay! Accommodations are exactly as described. Super close walk to downtown. Comfortable beds. Our toddler enjoyed having plenty of room and yard to move around. Love the fireplace, but definitely recommended using Duraflame logs with the local wood. We will be back next time in Highlands.

Nice house and great neighborhood

We really enjoyed staying here. You can't beat the location. We loved the lake and proximity to shops, restaurants and Mountain Fresh Grocery! We hope to stay there in the future but we wish it could be pet-friendly.
