Exceptional property in a perfect location. The "welcome package" of wine, beer, soda, water, snacks, chocolates and other basic food items (coffee, cereal, milk, etc.) provided a first-class touch. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

David’s home is in the center of town and is walkable to all the shops and restaurants. Check in was easy, the place was pristine and he set us up with everything you could want including wine, beer, snacks, fruit and breakfast items! This is the best VRBO we have ever stayed at!! Hands down! Beautiful apartment, great owner/communicator and great location.

Perfection for Birthday/New Year getaway

If you are looking for a well-appointed, luxury stay in the heart of Highlands, this is your place. David was amazingly responsive, the two-bedroom condo was roomy but warm and welcoming, and the location was perfection. The bonus was getting to know the owner of the Highlands Tarven below. Thank you for a great stay. We will be back.

Another wonderful stay

We absolutely adore this property and its owner, David, and have stayed here so many times over the years that we’ve truly lost count. The location, the property itself, and its gracious and hospitable owner truly make this rental property the very best we’ve ever experienced on VRBO (or through other service). It’s become a very special place for our family and I know it will be the same for yours.

A Highlight in Highlands

You can't ask for better access to Main Street and all its amenities. And you can't ask for a more responsive host. We really enjoyed our stay. And we were greeted with a very nice bunch of welcome goodies!!
