There is a reason that Highridge House has all 5-star reviews! From the moment we climbed the driveway, to walking in the front door to the warm, inviting pine walls and ceiling, to the view of our own private mountain, we felt like we were "home." I cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about this property, and it's host/s. We have rented several Vrbo's in the past, but this one has exceeded them all, due to the fact that this is not "just another rental property." This is John's (& Nancy) second home that they let us "borrow" for the holidays, and made sure that we felt right at home. It was a nice change to deal with the owners, rather than a property manager, especially John's detailed check in/out list and Host Favorites, which covered everything, including tips for getting up the driveway. You can't have the view without the climb, and it was worth it!
Every room was decorated for Christmas, including a large beautiful tree that was the perfect "host" for all of our gifts. The mantle was beautifully decorated with lights, garland and a large wreath; the perfect backdrop for our family photo. The spacious kitchen with the sit-around island was a dream with every cabinet labeled and organized to cook our holiday meals. The huge stone fireplace was one of our favorite places to gather, especially since the weather did not cooperate, and we weren't able to appreciate the views from the deck. It was a memorable Christmas with family; one we will cherish forever!
