About this property

Downtown Highlands - Walk Everywhere

Welcome to Highlands, North Carolina! If you're looking for a VRBO that is walking distance to most everything, then look no further. Lose yourself in the luxury and sophistication that Highlands has long been known for as a guest at our apartment.

Light and bright, the open concept creates a cozy yet spacious experience where you can relax or entertain in a modern meets rustic setting. Features include a fully equipped kitchen with gas range and granite counter tops, office nook for a working vacation, oak floors in the living area, laundry room with iron/ironing board, two porches and private parking for two vehicles.

In addition to the king size bed in the bedroom, we also have an EZ Bed Air Mattress elevated on legs with a cozy mattress topper for an additional 1-2 guests that can be set up in the living area, if needed.

A fun fact; the living area was once the dining hall of an old estate home situated above Founders Park. The pulley windows and coffered ceilings bring in the old Highlands character that is now hard to find. The apartment is on the second floor of a two story building, located above our Green Mountain Builders office.

As transplants to the area, we understand how easy it is to fall in love with Highlands and the surrounding area. As a real estate broker and builder, we are happy to help should you decide it's time for your own slice of paradise.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding our rental, things to do in Highlands or about the area in general!

Beautiful place so close to shopping

We had a lovely stay. I loved being able to leave the car and walk everywhere. The home was lovely with LOTS of room for a 1 bedroom. Towels and linens were very nice and the bed was super comfortable. Host was very nice and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay again.

Our second home in Highlands

I can't remember whether this was our 4th or 5th stay. Regardless we will be back again! It is perfect for us, and this trip even more so, since we brought our dogs and they were right at home. The fresh gravel for the driveway was a wonderful change from our last visit, and the heated floor in the remodeled bathroom is an amazing touch.

Clean, Comfortable and Convenient!

We enjoyed our Highlands stay convenient for downtown as well as surrounding areas. We left the car parked and walked the easy distance to Highlands restaurants and shops. The owner very thoughtfully shared flowers from the garden and as well was responsive when the iron needed attention. The great room is large with several comfortable seating options. Overall, a very positive stay and experience!

Great intown place

This is a really cute little apartment with everything we needed, in a great location just a few blocks to restaurants and shopping on Main St. We ate all our meals out and loved being able to walk to and from great restaurants. Despite its location in a mostly commercial area, we saw deer running by a couple of times during our stay. It was also nice to have a convenience store right across the street. The inside of the house was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We look forward to staying here again on our next visit.

Great quiet, convenient location for two!

This property is exactly as it is shown online. More than enough space for two people, kitchen is well appointed, bedroom is great size, plenty of closet space, comfy living room area and more. Mary was always very quick to respond. The location is very walkable to Main Street. Don't let the fact that this unit is located over a business deter you, you would never know they were there.

Easy Breezy

Easy walk to town and very close to restaurants and hikes. Checks all the boxes for a quick getaway to Highlands and no hassles. Good spot if you want to avoid any steep roads in (potentially) inclement weather. Outdoor space may feel limiting to some, but then again, you'll have all of downtown Highlands as your (practically) yard! Easy physical access and communication with owner.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Abranyi

Host profile image
We moved to the area in 2001 and have since become established in both the Highlands and Cashiers communities professionally as a Realtor (Mary with Berkshire Hathaway) and a builder (Steve with Green Mountain Builders). Originally from Florida, it was easy to acclimate to the cooler summer temperatures and appreciate the fall colors. We have two school aged children, two golden retrievers and two cats. In addition to real estate and building, we also have a yoga and wellness center in Cashiers (Fusion Yoga and Wellness).

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in 2007 when we were looking for office space for our businesses. The fact that there was an apartment upstairs was an absolute bonus. After some renovations, we initially rented the apartment out on a long-term basis for the first several years but decided to make the switch to vacation rentals and have been glad we did so. It's been a great place for family, friends and clients to stay when it's not rented.

What makes this property unique

The homey feel and close proximity to Main Street are two of our favorite/unique benefits.
