There's a version of a mountain vacation where the rental itself becomes part of the experience — where the kitchen is actually worth cooking in, the porch is actually worth sitting on, and the fireplace gets used every single evening because it earns it. This is that version.
A three-level upscale townhome with soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, a chef's kitchen, two fireplaces, multiple decks, and a screened porch that operates as a genuine fourth room of the house. Polished enough to feel like a splurge. Comfortable enough to feel like home. And positioned in Highlands to put everything worth doing within easy reach.
A Main Level That Raises the Bar - The open-plan main level makes a strong first impression and holds it. Soaring ceilings and hardwood floors set the tone, a stone fireplace anchors the living area, and the chef's kitchen — large island, high-end appliances, the kind of setup that makes cooking on vacation feel like a choice rather than a compromise — flows into the dining and living space without interruption. It's a floor plan that keeps everyone connected whether someone's cooking, someone's reading, or someone's already opened a bottle of wine.
Off the kitchen, the screened-in porch changes the conversation entirely. Its own fireplace. A television. Comfortable furnishings that invite lingering. This is not the screened porch you pass through on the way to somewhere else — it's a destination that pulls the whole group in and tends to keep them there. A grilling deck sits just adjacent, ready for anyone who prefers their outdoor time with tongs in hand.
Upstairs, the Primary Suite Earns Its Title - The upper-level master suite offers the kind of privacy and comfort that justifies the word luxurious — a genuine retreat above the activity of the main floor, with everything needed to make mornings slow and evenings restorative. The details here are the point.
The Lower Level Does the Heavy Lifting - Additional bedrooms and bathrooms on the lower level give the rest of the group their own well-appointed space, with easy access to the outdoors via a second covered deck — furnished with its own seating area for anyone who wants a quieter corner of the property. Two covered decks across two levels means the outdoor square footage is substantial, and someone in your group will inevitably claim a favorite spot by the end of day one.
Highlands, Right Outside the Door - Everything that makes Highlands worth the trip — the restaurants that surprise you, the trails that reward you, the shops you weren't expecting to love, the waterfalls that show up around corners — is minutes away. Come back whenever you're ready. The screened porch fireplace will be waiting.
