A wonderful stay!
This Highlands home was perfect for our weekend at the Food and Wine Festival:) Such a beautiful and cozy mountain home in a quiet neighborhood! Carole was super responsive if we needed anything at all, which we didn’t, but she checked on us to make sure everything was good. We will definitely be back here, and also check out Carole’s other listings!

Highlands with dogs
Great property very close to town (5 minutes). The screened porch is amazing. Very spacious with living and dining areas. The property is well appointed, although I will note that there is no dishwasher. That was not an issue for us as we dined out most afternoons and evenings. I would stay there again. The property and neighborhood was very dog friendly. Highlands also has a very nice dog park that is easy to get to from this property.

Great stay. Very convenient.
Great location as it was a very short drive into town and to the grocery store. Some steep turns and roads to get to the house but once we got there, we really enjoyed the screened in porch and the space in general. Carole was quick to respond to the one question we had and the checkout process was simple with clear instructions. Thanks for the hospitality!

Lovely, quaint cabin in the mountains. Great location! Very small, but all we needed. Carol was very accommodating even offering early checkin and checkout and supplying wood as temperatures were to be in the 20’s!

Third time rental
This is our third time staying at Carole’s place and we’ll return again. Perfect for 2 people. We love dining on the screened porch and sitting by the outdoor fire pit after a day of hiking. Very close to downtown Highlands and restaurants, shops, entertainment. Very quiet immersion in nature but with all the luxuries. Our favorite place to stay.

4th of July Escape
We headed to Highlands to escape the Georgia heat and found relief on the back porch of My-Hi. We did not prepare a meal there but the kitchen has everything one would need to do so. Bedding was very nice and bathroom appeared to be recently remodeled including a stackable washer and dryer. Parking was a breeze as you pulled up right outside of your quarters. We are already trying to plan another stay soon!

Quiet Spot Close to Town
Although I don't think you can walk to town from this unit, it is very close. You can drive to town within 5 minutes. Very convenient to everything downtown has to offer. I loved the screened porch.

Property listed as "totally private guest house" but is really a basement with other renters living above which you can hear. No heat except 2 portable heaters, shower curtain liner covered in mold and mildew. Not horrible, but certainly not worth $300/night.

Great Screened Porch!
I was in town primarily to attend a class, then my daughter joined me for a couple of days at the end of my 7-day visit. I was under the impression that this was a stand-along guest house on the property of the main house. It's actually attached to the main house, which was perfectly fine. Very private, nestled in the woods of a small, quiet neighborhood less than a mile from downtown Highlands. There were some issues with the cleanliness of the awesome screened porch and other minor details in the house, but the owner was very responsive and took care of having the porch cleaned. I enjoyed my stay and will possibly return in the future.

Cute cottage
Quaint cottage with very nice host. Communication with her was very quick & responsive. Disappointed with the cleanliness of the kitchen utensils & dishes. Walking distance to town but traffic & minimal sidewalks.
Cozy apartment with a real fireplace. Only negitive was the tv remote was difficult to operate.

Disappointed
We were contacted by the host three days prior to our arrival date telling us that the property was not available.
We were offered an alternative property and accepted it. We purchased tickets months ago for an event nearby. Our accommodations were a bit dark. The bed linens were musty and the home could use freshening. It has great potential, but missed the mark for me.

Cozy private get-away
Very nice place! Close to downtown but very quiet and private, well maintained and well-furnished in every way, and check-in was easy. It's a bit cozy inside, but plenty of room for a couple, and the large screened-in porch adds a lot of room. We'd definitely stay here again!

Beautiful quiet setting
Beautiful place tucked into the woods. It is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy being in the mountains. It is close to the town center but not walkable.
