In the evening, the scent of pine mingles with the glow of the indoor gas fireplace, inviting you to unwind after a day of exploring Highlands. Every room opens onto expansive views of the wooded backdrop, creating a seamless indoor‑outdoor experience that feels both grand and intimate. Sleeping Arrangements - Master bedroom on the main floor: King bed, smart TV, en‑suite bathroom with deep soaking tub. - Upper‑floor queen suite: Queen bed, smart TV, private en‑suite, walk‑in closet, balcony. - Second upper‑floor queen suite: Queen bed, smart TV, en‑suite, additional twin nook, walk‑in closet. - Third queen bedroom on the main floor: Queen bed, smart TV. - Large bedroom on the lower floor: Shared large bathroom, twin‑size trundle bed, smart TV. - Bonus sleeping area on the main floor: Twin trundle bed with access to a full bathroom and smart TV. Total beds: 1 King, 3 Queens, 5 Twins (maximum 8 guests). Living Spaces Multiple living rooms span each floor, each equipped with a 65‑inch smart TV. A cozy indoor gas fireplace anchors the main‑floor sitting room. The covered pavilion offers an oversized wood‑burning fireplace that is currently being rebuilt and is unavailable, but the surrounding patio and comfortable outdoor couches remain perfect for starlit conversations. A fire‑pit nearby is ready for s’mores, and a screened porch provides bug‑free relaxation. Kitchen & Dining The fully stocked kitchen includes every appliance and utensil a home chef could desire—coffee bar, mixology bar, Insta‑Pot, blender, and all cooking, baking, and serving essentials. A breakfast bar seats three, while a formal dining room accommodates eight. Outside, a 16‑person dining table under the pavilion invites large meals al fresco. Outdoor Areas Set on two acres, the property features two creeks that merge into a private pond, a rock wall, and numerous trails for kids to hunt salamanders or spot birds. A BBQ grill, multiple seating zones, and a children’s game room ensure endless family fun. Bear‑proof trash cans sit on Upper Lake Road; remember to close them tightly. Location & Activities A two‑minute drive brings you to Blue Bike Café for a spectacular breakfast, and Main Street’s finest restaurants—Wolfgang’s, Ristorante Paoletti—and boutique shops are equally close. The home is minutes from local wedding venues, Old Edwards, The Farm, and The Hutchinson House, making it ideal for celebrations or extended family gatherings. Pet & Wildlife Policy Dogs under 20 lb are welcome (maximum two) with written approval and a $250 fee per pet; cats are not permitted. Service animals are exempt. Because bears are attracted to food, all food must be stored locked inside the home, and trash must be secured in the bear‑proof bins. Practical Details High‑speed internet, central air, heat, and two mini‑splits keep the interior comfortable year‑round. Check‑in is key‑code enabled for 24‑hour access. No smoking, quiet hours from 10 PM‑8 AM, and a strict no‑party policy help preserve the serene atmosphere. Enjoy a worry‑free stay in this luxurious Highlands retreat, where every detail is managed for your comfort and peace of mind.
