A mere 6 miles or 6 minute drive from downtown Highlands in the Wildwood community lies this spacious and impeccably outfitted home. An expansive ground level living space with thoughtful touches from the artwork to the cozy, high end furnishings. A dreamy kitchen and dining room are yours to enjoy. Adults will relish in the wood burning fireplace and plush seating in the living room while kids and teens play basketball or disc golf outside or on the gaming console in the sofa bed room. The whole group can come together for evenings around the fire pit with storytelling and s'mores. As guests of this beautiful home you wil have the security of a full time caretaker who resides upstairs and is available if needed although his space is separate behind locked doors. All areas of the main level and decks, porches and fire-pit are yours alone to enjoy with privacy. The caretaker enters and exits through the garage to the upstairs quarters so the garage is not available for guest use however there is plenty of paved parking. Fur baby friendly with endless, quiet community streets to walk. This home is truly 5 star with every amenity provided for a relaxing and memorable stay. Private King suite with television, sitting area and access to the screened porch, walk in closet, en-suite bath with soaker tub, walk in shower and double sink vanity on one side of the home separated by the kitchen and breakfast table and living room from the queen bedroom and sofa bed room with a comfortable queen size therapeutic mattress. These two rooms share a beautiful updated bathroom with walk in shower. Great space for your family or a group of friends with ultimate privacy for all.
*Firewood for fireplace and fire-pit delivery is available by request at $85 plus tax *Dog fee is $85 plus tax and covers 2 dogs. These fees are billed to your reservation after booking.

Arrived a little later than expected due to an extra stop for a funeral in Atlanta, but pleasantly surprised to walk in to a home beautifully decorated for the holiday, with music playing and colorful lights twinkling. And although we were lazy and used our paper plates the whole time, the dining table set with Spode Christmas china was an elegant touch. The large floorplan suited our family nicely, allowing us to have a main level master while affording privacy to our other guests, placing one pair in the bedroom on the opposite side of the house and another pair upstairs. Plenty of plush towels were available, as were many other items not normally offered for renters, including coffees, creamer, sugar, spices.... The location was also perfect, allowing easy access to both Cashier's and Highlands. Very quiet community with only slight road noise. Wooded lot that is likely even more private in summer. I did enjoy watching the birds devour their food from the feeder just outside the breakfast room window during an unseasonably warm December week. We would definitely recommend this place and definitely would book again for next year now that this area is our new holiday family tradition! Thanks for the hospitality and for sharing your home with us.
Great place to stay for a vacation .. highly recommend..
We liked the cabin .. everything was great .. except one thing .. there were no blinds or curtains in main bedroom and bathroom .. we had to use bed sheets to cover the window , patio door ..
We do recommend this place!!
