Gorgeous Contemporary Home with Spectacular Views of Whiteside Mountain

There's a moment — usually within the first five minutes of arriving — when someone in your group stops mid-sentence, walks to the window, and just stares. Whiteside Mountain filling the frame. A waterfall catching the light. A stream threading quietly through the side yard below. It happens every time.

Perched on a high ridge inside the private Highland Falls Country Club, this home was designed around that view — and everything else was built to match.

Made for People Who Appreciate the Details - The kitchen alone earns the trip. Wolf appliances, granite countertops, skylights overhead, and enough space to cook seriously or just look like you are. A natural wood dining table seats twelve, which means the whole group eats together — no overflow table, no one stuck in the corner. When the weather cooperates, take it outside to the expansive stone patio where the grill is waiting and the mountain air makes everything taste better.

Three gas fireplaces distributed thoughtfully across the home mean there's always a warm room to find your way back to, no matter the season.

Sleep Like You Mean It - The main-level primary suite is its own destination — a gas fireplace, a freestanding soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a private screened porch just off the ensuite where the mountain views greet you before you've said a word to anyone. It's the kind of morning routine that's very difficult to give up at checkout.

Upstairs, a graceful curved staircase leads to two additional ensuite bedrooms, each with sweeping views and enough privacy that guests feel like they have their own wing of the house. On the lower level, a fourth bedroom opens onto its own partially covered private deck — same stunning scenery, its own quiet corner of the property.

Four bedrooms. Four bathrooms. Thoughtful separation of space. Nobody is on top of anyone else, and everyone has a view worth waking up for.

Living Inside and Out - The screened porches — there are two — are the unsung heroes of this property. One wraps off the den and living room, pulling mountain breezes through and connecting seamlessly back to the interior. The other belongs exclusively to the primary suite. Both reward whoever finds them first with the kind of stillness that's genuinely hard to find anywhere else.

The stone patio, the den, the living room designed to frame the view like a painting — every space here flows into the next, making the home feel both grand and effortlessly livable.

The Setting - Highland Falls Country Club offers privacy and seclusion without remoteness. Downtown Highlands — with its acclaimed restaurants, boutique shops, waterfalls, and trail access — is just minutes away. But with a view like this, a kitchen like that, and a screened porch calling your name, you may find yourself negotiating reasons not to leave.

That's the idea.

What our guests are saying...

"Spectacular View! We really enjoyed our experience at Big Bear Pen. The view was spectacular and the layout of the home worked great for our group. Communication and service from the folks at Rent In Highlands was top notch. Looking forward to our next trip." - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Matt
