The Nest Feels Like Home Away From Home

Highlands Wedding
The Nest is a beautiful luxurious home in the heart of Highlands NC. It was our 1st trip to this charming mountain town to attend a family wedding. Mr. David sure knows how to to make you feel special. We were greeted with fresh flowers wine, and cheese, fresh fruit, coffee just to name a few items. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you may need including a coffee maker. The livingroom overlooks 4th Strret and Church with a view from the french doors and juilette balcony of the Old Edwards Inn. We had plenty of space in this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfy and each has their own bathroom. The Nest is over a tavern that has music but it was not loud and it not bother us at all. This is a great home in a great location. You are within walking distance of many of the shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend "The Nest" if you are vising the area. Mr. David is a great host.

The Nest is the Best
My husband and I met friends who were staying at Old Edward’s. We could not have picked a better place. We got to bring our 12 year old dog which was so sweet. We walked in to a stocked frig, we loved having breakfast there and meeting up with our friends for lunch and dinner. We could literally see our friends walk by from our balcony. The only negative was having to leave. We will most definitely be back! Thanks for being a great host David!

Cozy retreat
Park the car & walk -shop, mountain theater, restaurants . Directly across street from ‘Old Edward’s ‘Madison restaurant’. - there is a pub/restaurant, on the bottom, but we found it very quiet and not noticeable. At the back entrance some wonderful aromas from the kitchen! Comfortable bed, which is very important. No hang up space in the Master bedroom, shelves only. I would definitely recommend and will return on our next visit to the Highlands if available🤓

Highlight of Highlands
We were delighted with our 3 night stay at The Nest. Everything was perfect! The only downside of The Nest is it has created a standard of excellence that we will now always compare other short term rentals to. I can’t imagine that any other property will match the hospitality and care that David provides his guests.

Out of a Hallmark Movie
The girls and I had a fabulous stay at the nest! We felt like we entered a Hallmark movie. The flat was absolutely adorable and decorated to a T. It’s an excellent location in the Highlands. You can easily walk to shops and restaurants. We loved the balcony and having the doors open and seeing the town. David makes it special by having treats and drinks for us as we arrive. Would definitely stay again!

Very impressed and Highly Recommend!
Excellent downtown location across from Old Edwards and convenient to Main Street. Can easily walk home from a nice evening instead of driving. Balcony windows overlook Old Edwards, nice neighborhood. 2 bedrooms and 2 baths were well appointed and comfortable. Modern kitchen was also well stocked, he sets a new standard for welcoming guests! Wine, beer, cereal, coffee, milk, OJ, half and half, snacks...whatever you need is there waiting for you. He truly has put a lot of thought into what guests need and provided it for us. He sets a new standard in management that is much appreciated. HIGHLY recommend this townhome!!

Can't beat the location and all the snacks and drinks were a wonderful surprise! It's great to have a parking spot to count on, too. We barely noticed music from what is currently Highlands Tavern below, and their staff were delightful neighbors where we enter The Nest. We will check availability here first every trip back to Highlands!

2nd visit to The Nest!
This was our second Labor Day trip to The Highlands to stay at The Nest! It is one of our absolute favorite VRBOs that we have ever rented and we hope to return for years to come! The house is clean, well appointed, and so convenient to everything in the downtown area. We appreciate the great communication from the host and the well stocked fridge and pantry are always a plus. Thanks again for another wonderful stay!

For the 2nd year in a row we spent 2 1/2 weeks at the Nest in Highlands. The place is fantastic and has everything you could need to have a very enjoyable stay. David, the owner, has the place stocked and set up fabulously. Best location in Highlands by far.

Perfect location
This was a perfect location! We had a wedding at Old Edward’s Farm. We caught the shuttle right across the street. We had amazing shopping and restaurants right outside our door. We also went to some amazing hiking spots within miles! The condo was perfect! Fully stocked with treats, drinks and breakfast. We got to town in the middle of the night, but it was so inviting with lights and music. David was so kind and helpful! I’m very picky, and I would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect Condo in Highlands NC
This condo is so much more than we expected! We have stayed at vacation rentals all over North America and Europe. The Nest stands out as our best so far. Location is perfect for walking to shopping and restaurants. Nicely decorated and clean. Every amenity you could need. And the cherry on top was the wonderful snacks. We did not have to run out to the store as soon as we arrived. We are already talking about returning. Thank David! We appreciated your attention to detail.

Always Such a Pleasure & PERFECT Location
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at The Nest and it never disappoints! The host is always wonderful and accommodating and you truly cannot beat the location! The only thing I have to say is to be mindful of the size of the cars you're bringing. Parking is extremely tight and we barely squeezed two small SUVs in the spot, but other than that it's always amazing and we HIGHLY recommend!

Great location in Highlands
We enjoyed our stay! Great location, just steps away from Main St, with plenty of shops and restaurants just a short walk from your door! Parking is not for the faint of heart, but after a few times, we were able to master :) David was a generous host— leaving a stocked refrigerator and welcome tray of snacks and sweet treats— along with wine, beer and fresh flowers to make us feel right at home. It was a great place and would definitely consider staying again!

The property is right in the middle of town yet it is quiet and secluded. It was immaculately clean and had every amenity that we would want. Additionally, as a huge perk, we were supplied with a large array of snacks and breakfast items that were really fantastic. We would highly recommend this home. Felix Solaun
