The adjoining Master Bath includes an oversized tub and separate Spa shower, a 5 star experience. A second bedroom with 2 twin beds overlooks the garden and opens to a guest bathroom with full sized shower.

Have to work a little away from the office or catch up with a few friends while you are here. You can do it.......fiber optic internet provided with 250/250 mbps speed.

There is a cooler in the garage and portable chairs, larger pots and pans besides the washer and dryer(detergent, etc.. is there for your convenience )please feel free to use what you need. In the master closet there are picnic blankets, insulated food and beverage carriers, beach towels for Highlands state-of-the-art pool or a visit to the natural swimming holes.If there are any amenities that will make your visit more enjoyable please speak up! We want you to have the best time ever.

If you haven’t visited Highlands in a while or it is a first there are new and exciting places and happenings as well as all the magnificent beauty and resources that abound in this elevated piece of heaven. Music in the town square and park, a movie theater where you can have glass of wine if you don’t want a coke, new eateries, shopping and entertainment for all.

Coffee and teas are always on hand and given notice grocery shopping ,meal and entertaining preparation can be arranged with ease and rave results.

If an unexpected storm comes up cutting power, no problem, our full house backup generator will step in until the utility crews arrive. A garage is also available to help you get out of the weather.

In case you need help or directions, the owners stay in a private unit below when in town. Last but not least (maybe first) rest and relaxing come easy with lovely views and beautiful sunrises. Some folks just decide to hang around and enjoy!

Wonderful Stay in Highlands

We loved this property!! It had a fabulous view, clean, comfortable beds, everything you could possibly need. The host is so kind! We arrived to a basket of yummy snacks, homemade blueberry bread and bottle of wine. There were refreshments in the fridge as well as cream for our coffee. Location was ideal and in the heart of Highlands. We loved our stay and would love to stay there again!

Spectacular views, terrific stay!

In the Top of the Knob neighborhood, this beautiful home is the best of all worlds - high enough for unobstructed views of mountains as far as you can see, secluded enough to be completely out of the hustle & bustle, but just a quick 5 minute drive to downtown Highlands! Anne is the perfect host! We were greeted with a welcome basket of wine, snacks & a delicious coffee cake. She stocked the fridge with beverages, butter & cream for coffee. A wide variety of teas and coffee were also provided. Anne gives recommendations for hikes, restaurants & more. We will definitely be back!

Amazing Home

The stay was amazing! House is beautiful, comfortable, convenient to town. Owner went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of - we actually got married on the beautiful deck with amazing views of the mountains. Will definitely return and spend more time there. You couldn't find a better place with care, comfort and beauty.

A piece of Heaven

You search and search on VRBO for just the right place. You stare at the pictures repeatedly, study the location on the map, and wonder if the view is really that good. You can stop now. This home really is that good. The location is amazing and the view is sublime. Perfect for 2 couples. To get a porch and view like this so close to town is very difficult. We immediately signed up for next year. That should tell you everything.

Terrific home, amenities and location

Top of the Knob is the perfect location to be close to town yet feel far away. This home is well appointed, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed the hummingbirds’ daily visits to the porch. A perfect, relaxing stay!

Absolutely perfect

Top of the Knob is a perfect location in Highlands - so convenient to everything and a lovely morning mountain view. Carl and Anne are incredible hosts and their home is lovely, super comfortable and equipped with anything you could possibly need! Bed was crazy comfortable and we spent many hours enjoying the gas fireplace (no messy ashes!!). Anne was in residence downstairs during the first part of our stay but we never heard her, and only saw her a few times- very unobtrusive. Overall a truly delightful stay!

Enjoyed the spectacular mountain views along and the ability to walk to downtown Highlands (quite uphill on the return but no issue). Property manager Carl and owner Anne were helpful and very responsive. Enjoyed the welcome goodies. Beds were comfortable.

Well-appointed 2 BR property on top of hill just outside Highlands.

Excellent property for visit of 4 to Highlands. Master BR has king bed, with tub in bath; second BR has two singles, with shower in bath. An earlier reviewer said it was walking distance to town—we think that it is a bit of an overstatement, but it’s definitely only a short drive. An earlier reviewer commented on the presence of the owner downstairs—we found that to be no problem or issue whatsoever, we never saw or heard her. We would have no hesitation to rent this property again.

Perfect for a small party. We attended a wedding with 3 adults. The homeowners stayed in the lower level. No issues with that. Nicely stocked with towels, comfortable beds, nice kitchen and welcome basket!
