The home was absolutely beautiful. The check in was so easy with the combination device on the door. The kitchen was equipped with all we needed, except a wine opener. We hope to visit the home again in the future,

Highland Trip
The house was perfect. The only negative o have is the beds were so hard. They need to put some kind of a foam mattress pad to soften the bed

Long Weekend in Highlands
The house was very clean and nicely decorated. The location near Highlands was great! It didn’t have much of a view, but lots of places nearby did. It was much bigger than I thought it would be. The owners and management company were very easy to work with! It was a great long weekend!!!
