Three Levels. Four Porches. One Mountain View That Puts Everything in Perspective.

Somewhere between arriving and unpacking, it happens. You find yourself standing at the picture windows, mountain ridgeline filling the frame, and the mental math of everyday life just quietly stops. That's the Hillside Terrace effect — and it tends to set in fast.

Nestled into the hills less than two miles from downtown Highlands, this beautifully furnished three-level home was designed around the view and built for the kind of group that wants space, comfort, and enough outdoor living to make the inside feel like a bonus. Multiple screened porches on every level. A firepit terrace for evenings under the stars. Expansive picture windows that turn the mountains into living art. Four bedrooms spread across three thoughtfully laid-out floors. This is the rare rental where everyone gets their own corner of the house — and their own reason to love it.

The Main Level Sets the Tone - A plush oversized sofa, a gas-log fireplace, and picture windows looking out at the hillside — the living room earns its place as the natural center of the trip within the first hour. The well-appointed kitchen connects seamlessly through a pass-through window, keeping whoever's cooking part of the conversation, and the dining area opens directly onto a screened-in porch where meals come with a hillside view and mountain air included at no extra charge. The main-level primary suite completes the floor in style — king bed, streaming TV, ensuite bath, and its own private screened porch for mornings that deserve to start slowly.

The Lower Level Pulls Its Weight - Downstairs is where the trip loosens up. A cozy den and kitchenette make the lower level self-sufficient enough for guests who want their own space, while a table tennis setup provides the kind of low-stakes competition that inevitably turns serious by night two. A queen guest bedroom and full bath round out the level, and the lower screened porch adds yet another outdoor perch to the rotation — quieter, more tucked away, and particularly good for an afternoon with a book and a cold drink.

Upstairs, Comfort With Character - Two upper-level guest bedrooms each come outfitted with motorized adjustable queen beds — the kind of feature that seems like a small thing until you've spent a night in one — alongside Samsung TVs and a shared full bath with tub-shower combo. Note that these rooms use window A/C units rather than central air, so they're worth keeping in mind when sorting out who sleeps where, especially in warmer months.

The Firepit Terrace Closes the Deal - When the sun drops behind the ridge and the air cools down the way only mountain air does, the firepit terrace becomes the place. Gather around, pour something worth sipping, and let the evening go wherever it wants to. With multiple screened porches already in the rotation and this as the final act, outdoor living at Hillside Terrace isn't an amenity — it's a lifestyle.

Downtown Highlands is under two miles away. The restaurants, shops, waterfalls, and trails are all within easy reach. But between the porches, the firepit, the views, and the adjustable beds, leaving might take more motivation than expected.

Special Amenities:

Gas Fireplace
Screened In Porch with Gas Firepit
Outdoor Wood Firepit
Ping Pong Table

Please note: The "swimming pool" amenity refers to access to the Highlands Recreation Center pool, a short drive from the property — not a private pool on-site.
