Heaven in Highlands
You heard me right: Heaven on Earth in North Carolina! Our stay at this property was brilliant for a variety of reasons. The one that stands out the most is the hospitality and responsiveness of the property management company. We worked with Holly and she was an absolute delight. Our first correspondence was regarding check-in and she was extremely prompt to convey an opportunity to check in early. We really appreciated that. Upon arrival, we discovered we need firewood for one of the two fireplaces in the house. I messaged Holly and, again, she delivered - we had a truck delivering our firewood within an hour. Amazing! With regard to the house, it was wonderful. Peaceful and full of character, the property was a perfect match for our need of a restful, relaxing vacation. The views were awesome and the home was stocked with everything you need for a complete stay. Finally, the home enjoys multiple living areas which allow guests to conveniently congregate as they wish. On several occasions, the guys would hang out downstairs, while the ladies sat around the upstairs fireplace. It was the perfect configuration or a perfect holiday vacation. Many thanks to the owner and Galax Hospitality Group for making our holiday special.

Thanksgiving getaway
The home is beautiful and well decorated. The owners have provided most things that one would need for a vacation. The upstairs fireplace is not wood burning/the sunroom fireplace is wood burning. We enjoyed our stay except for ending up dealing with a terrible stench that suddenly developed on night 2 of our stay. Unfortunately, nothing was done to get rid of the smell. We were given the suggestion by a plumber to pour water in the non-functioning whirlpool drain to try and get rid of the smell. Didn’t work. Smell continued until we left on day 4. Sad that this beautiful property is being affected by some sort of apparent sewage issue. The management company said they have tried to find the problem with no results. We were not able to sleep downstairs the last night because the smell was so bad. By the time we left, the smell was wafting throughout the house 😫. I hope the issue is found and fixed because we really loved this house.

Disappointing experience
This property has potential for a five star rating. The location is great with spectacular views. The home is beautifully decorated with high end finishes, appliances, and furnishings. The kitchen is very well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The home was very clean and comfortable. Everything you want in a rental property and more than you find in most. There are a few things not mentioned in the description that would be important to some renters. There is an open spiral staircase connecting the upstairs master to the lower level bedrooms. It is blocked off with cords so you can not use it but opens directly into the upstairs master. You can hear the guests staying in the lower level very clearly . Closets are also an issue. Very minimal in lower bedrooms and the closet in the master bedroom upstairs was small and had shoes and other household items stored in it. A suggestion that would make the experience better would be to provide written instructions on how to operate the heating and cooling system, TV, and information on the nearest grocery store . Those suggestions are minor points and their absence can be overlooked. What we could not excuse is the odor of sewer gas. We did not notice it when we arrived. As a matter of fact we all commented on how good the home smelled. A very pleasant air freshener was obvious but not over powering. As time went on the air freshener scent dissipated and we began to notice the sewer odor. It seemed to come and go and was not present in every room. We overlooked it the first day but on the second day we called the management company. Holly responded with an apology and a long explanation of all the efforts the owner had undertaken to correct the problem. Obviously the problem continues. We stayed in the home for three days and the sewer odor was present off and on all three days. Guests don't need to hear how hard you tried to fix it and be told to keep bathroom doors closed to contain it and that it isn't harmful just a nuisance. The problem needs to be corrected.

Absolutely amazing
Our family had such an amazing visit at this property. The views were just incredible and the house was so spacious. It felt even bigger than in the photos! It was really well located also, close to downtown highlands and not far from some of the well known scenic hikes/trails/waterfalls. The property manager was super responsive and friendly as well. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting a luxury getaway. We were impressed!

Charming and lovely
This home is very pretty and well equipped for visitors! We appreciated the K cups and all the little touches. It was a very relaxing stay! The only suggestions we would make is to have the owners make up a notebook with instructions and suggestions. We never did figure out how to operate the heating/AC system both upstairs and down. And we could not figure out the televisions either. But we enjoyed ourselves immensely and Appreciated every moment

Great house and location
Beautifully Decorated. Comfortable beds. Love the downstairs glass room with fireplace makes you feel like your sitting outside. Great two levels everyone has plenty of space to get away to. With that being said only odd part is the master bedroom has a open circle staircase to the downstairs master bedroom that you can hear everything. Just odd if you don’t want to hear the other couple you are with! Would still stay here though for sure! Great location to town and to hikes! Lovely just to stay home as well very cozy!
