Tree House

We stayed a month at this lovely mountain lodge. It was well appointed as well as homey and comfortable. The location was fantastic, easy walk to town and great neighborhood. The homeowners were fantastic and communicated often to be sure all was going well and check-in/out was easy. We would definitely stay there again and Highlands is great with many in-town trails, nearby waterfalls, wonderful restaurants, music, farmers market and arts and craft fairs.

Great location, perfect for families

We had a great after Christmas family trip to Highlands. This house was perfect for our family. The house had everything we needed. The downstairs was a perfect setup for our daughter/SIL/grandsons. Great location, close to downtown which was a priority for us.

Christmas in Highlands 2023

The Treehouse was just as presented on the VRBO site. The house was very comfortable and very well appointed by the owners. The owners warned us about the very steep driveway and they weren't kidding...but we managed ok. There was plenty of firewood for the large fireplace, which we made good use of, and the kitchen was better stocked than most rental properties we've stayed at. The owners were very helpful and made sure we were well taken care of. We would definitely recommend this house and if we ever return to Highlands we would absolutely consider staying there again. Thanks to the Sandlin family for letting us use their lovely home for our Christmas away from home.

Full spacious house, with a cabin feel!

This house is fully stocked, all the comforts of home. There was plenty of room for our 3 adult children, spouses & a baby. Great location to downtown, you can walk if you can handle the hills w/ comfy shoes. Great space for everyone, you can have an indoor or outdoor fire, small hot tub, plenty of TVs, all nestled in the woods, yet close to all the happening! Owners were very easy to communicate with, delightful!

Upscale this property!

Front door unlocked. Only 2 towels upstairs for a 4 night stay. Toilets clogged when they shouldn’t have. Dishes in the cabinet dirty. We ran 3 dishwasher loads to be able to use. Pillows in the closet are gross. The covered back porch had been used and not cleaned, including dirty glasses left out there. Bathtubs have rings of dirt. Cobwebs and dust bunnies with pet hair. Overall the home needs a good deep cleaning. We are leaving our comments to provide you information to upscale your property and rentals. Overall you have a beautiful place.

Beautiful mountain home close to Main St Highlands

Our family of five including 3 kids ages 8 and under loved our stay at this home. The wood burning fireplace was just wonderful as was the 3 separate living areas on the main, loft, and basement levels. With energetic kids, having plenty of room to spread out is key and this layout did the trick. The owners were very helpful and responsive to any questions we had. While we were here we had a great little winter snow event and the kids were delighted! It was absolutely breathtaking to see the area covered in snow. The hot tub was a bonus as well! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a convenient and spacious spot near downtown Highlands.

Family wedding in the Highlands

The Tree House provided the perfect accommodations for our four couples and two dogs. The log cabin home with in door and out door fire places, large seating areas and hot tub were perfect for gathering between wedding events. The location was convenient to the town. The hosts were very friendly and informative. The Highlands area provides all the features of mountain resort and returning to the Tree House just added to this mountain retreat wedding.

Such a treat!!

We had such a great long weekend at the Treehouse! The location and the house are both amazing. We walked to town everyday since it is so close! Such a treat to sit in front of the porch fire place (which was already prepared for us... all we had to do was light and enjoy) on a summer night. The house has everything we needed plus more. We will definitely be bookmarking this house for another stay in Highlands.

Wonderful Stay

Beautiful and very charming house close to downtown shops and restaurants. We loved the large fireplace in the living room and although we never had a chance to use it, the outdoor space is fantastic. We loved the charm and uniqueness of the entire home and it made a trip to the mountains even more memorable. Steve and Carol were great to deal with and made everything so easy for us. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Sandlin

My wife and I started coming to Highlands11 years ago. Being from Alabama we enjoy the almost 20 degree difference in temperature during our hot summer months. Wonderful restaurants, friendly residents and the many activities have made us appreciate our discovery in the Smoky Mountains.

Why they chose this property

We looked for the perfect house for almost 3 years before we found the Tree House. When we first drove up, we knew this was the one.

What makes this property unique

We are close to town and shopping, but because of our location you have your privacy. Our log house is surrounded by a forest of towering white pines and hardwoods. An indoor and an outdoor fireplace makes for an enjoyable afternoon or evening.
