Janet, our Conceige was wonderful! Great communication, welcomed us with treats and flowers, and checked with us during our stay!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was so cozy and welcoming. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us, comfortable beds, updated bathrooms and lovely decorations! The screened porch off the back is the perfect place to read, play a board game or have a glass of wine. The location is incredible, just a mile from town but really quiet and private neighborhood. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We loved everything about 300 Shelby Drive. The neighborhood is so accessible to the town of Highlands and filled with beautiful homes and lawns.
We particularly enjoyed the screen porch early in the morning and in the evening. The birds were always serenading us as we sipped our coffee or evening wine.
Janet was so helpful when we had a couple of minor issues...all resolved quickly.
We are already planning on a return trip next year.
We absolutely loved this home. It was perfectly situated close to town. Loved the quiet neighborhood tucked away in downtown Highlands. The house was so clean. Our hostess was so courteous and helpful. We cannot wait to return.

We had a wonderful time in Highlands this trip. This is our second trip for Bear Shadow and I expect it to become a yearly trip. The location were perfect and in close proximity to everything. The property was lovely as was the neighborhood. We had a seamless check in and Janet was amazing to work with. Thank you for letting us stay!
