60th Birthday Gathering of Girlfriends
Sky Light was a beautiful house with wonderful views of the sunset. The house is much prettier than the pictures. Great gathering space for our group of 7. Screened in porch was great for morning coffee and games. Firepit area is down about 40 steps but is like stepping into a woodland fairyland! Wonderful house to celebrate the year of our 60th birthdays! Hope to return soon. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic Property!
This house was perfect for our family vacation. The bunk room and loft (with an additional 2 twin beds) provided enough space for a family with children to spread out. The weather was rainy, so we didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit, but it was lovely. The back porch has a swing that was fun to curl up on and read. The queen room is tucked away with its own bathroom, and that gave one person in our party a bit more privacy, which was great! Plenty of kitchen cookware, cleaning supplies, extra toilet paper, and paper towels - we didn’t want for anything! It was perfect for us and communication with the host was great - we’ll definitely be back!

Perfect house for group of adults
We were a group of 7 women: MIL, SILs and sisters. Each of us were able to have our own bed (!!) and the layout of the house enabled both group gathering and space for quiet getaway. Can't say enough about how awesome the house was. Large kitchen and family room, nice porch, beautiful views, convenient location, short drive to trail heads, downtown shopping and dining. All agreed we'd rent it again. Kadie responded very quickly to all our questions both post- and during visit.

Sunset views in Highlands
We had a lovely stay with our daughter and son in law and two small grandchildren. The house is clean, spacious and comfortable, close to town and has a lovely sunset view out of the living room window. One observation is that we would have liked blackout curtains or blinds in the two hall bedrooms that also have west facing windows.

60th Birthday for Lori
Great location and plenty of room. Fully stocked home with everything you would need for a gathering of 8 or more. We had a great time and the family room was large and a wonderful spot to gather for games and dinner. The back porch was also fun and we had a low country boil dinner out there enjoying the wonderful weather and view. Will come again!

Great house!
Loved our stay! The house is spacious and comfortable…we loved the screen porch and the rocking chair front porch with a view of the mountains! The beds are comfortable and the decor is tasteful! The location was great, but the walk to town is more of a hike…the 500 yard walk to the trail is straight uphill and the trail is not easy to navigate for older people or young children! Other than that, the description of the house is perfectly accurate!

Wedding Weekend
A group of us college friends reunited for the best weekend celebrating the wedding of two of our friends. The amount of space for two guys and seven girls was perfect. Plenty of extra beds, bathroom space to get ready in and a big open common space that allowed us to have great fellowship together. The convenience to town was perfect as well! Our communication with the owner was timely as well as the directions for check-in and check-out.

Skylight Highlands
Just returned from a wonderful stay at this beautiful house in Highlands. It was such a comfortable house and had everything and more that we needed. The layout allowed our family to spend quality time together without feeling crowded. The kitchen is huge and well equipped. We loved the location and had fun walking on the trail into town. The fire pit is such a fun feature and we loved making s’mores! We can’t wait to return!

Fall Break getaway
This was our second time visiting the Highlands for fall break, and we enjoyed our stay in the skylight house. The location was perfect for all the activities that we did. The house was big enough to host our family and a few friends that joined us, we especially love utilizing the fire pit. We hope to be back and stay in this little treasure of a home!

Great Highlands Home!
My family and I had a wonderful time at this house. We came here for two weeks in august and had friends and family visit us during our stay. We have a one and a half year old daughter who enjoyed the open concept aspect of the house, too. We were able to take the short 15 min trail into town with her on our back each morning to grab breakfast and coffee and by the time we returned the house from town we felt like we got a decent little hike in. The views from the front porch are stunning. The beds are comfortable, common area made it easy to relax and a highlight was having a morning fire (made super easy by the gas fireplace) while enjoying coffee and cartoons. I would recommend to friends for sure!

convenient location
The home was nicely appointed, comfortable spaces and bedding. We loved the screened in porch, and the fire pit area was a nice retreat. The hiking trail into town was close but straight up hill to access. I did however enjoy an early morning walk/run into town, so peaceful and quiet. I would definitely come back!

Nice Home, long walk to town
Nice open plan.Home had more than enough beds for our needs so didn’t even go upstairs but once to see it. Fire pit is down steep steps. No creek. 3/10ths of Mile to trail marker to Highlands, not 300 yards. Attempted to grill out one night but gas tank was low and ran out. Texted owner, hours later she responded that we could go to town and buy a tank. By then we had altered menu with out grill. I would think there would always be a back up tank with the nightly rate for this location.

Perfect Mountain Getaway
This house was amazing! More spacious than it looks in pictures and very nice and clean. We had 2 families each with 3 kids and they loved the bunk room. Great room/dining/kitchen area was huge and a great space for everyone to hang out. We had a fire down at the firepit every night we were there, and it was one of my favorite parts of the house. Definitely take the walk/hike from the house into downtown highlands. It was one of the kids favorite things we did while we were there. Everything was easy and it was a very enjoyable experience. Would definitely stay again!
