Dancing Bear Walk to Town: Spacious 3BR home in Highlands with wooded views.

WALK TO TOWN! This impeccably decorated home is one of the few vacation homes truly in town, only a short stroll to Highlands Main Street and a few feet from Harris Lake!

Linger in the western North Carolina mountainside while enjoying a true five star experience!

A three bedroom en-suite home freshly built with thoughtful touches and high end finishes, this home features two king bed bedrooms, and a twin bedroom with two twin beds all with en-suite bathrooms. Privacy galore! The kitchen is extensively equipped with Kitchen-aid appliances and detailed for any level of cooking you may desire!

Overlooking a creek, you have the best of both worlds! Enjoy the porch while sipping your evening beverage of choice, watching the sun set over the running creek, and start up the NEW propane fire table! With the proximity of town, you can stroll home after your evening of dining, theater, hiking or enjoying the music at the park! This is the home you will want to secure for each vacation ongoing!

Perfect family getaway

Beautiful home 5 minutes from the heart of town! Quite, clean and very well appointed ! We made steaks on the Weber grill under the covered back porch with the fire pit going and lit the wood burning fireplace inside. Perfect setting for a family get together.

The house and grounds really are more beautiful than the pictures. The furnishings were to our taste, the master bed so comfortable. Short and easy walk to downtown, access to hiking and shops. Very quiet neighborhood. We felt right at home. We will definitely stay here when we return to Highlands.

Incredible house close to town

We totally enjoyed this house. It was well equipped and very easy to live in. It appears to be relatively new. The back porch overlooks a lovely back yard; we spent many hours reading there on comfortable porch furniture. Galax does a superb job managing the home.

Highlands Haven

A few friends enjoyed a short reunion in the Highlands. This is a beautiful home within an enjoyable walk to town and various hiking trails. The property manager even accommodated a date change due to a death in one of our families, which goes to show you the quality of people whose home this is! It shines through. Thank you!

Spacious, beautifully appointed home within walking distance to town.

The home was so nice, and a quick ten minute walk to town. I am not sure when it was built but felt brand new, it was so clean and not cluttered at all. It has a very spacious kitchen and while we were not there for meals, it had everything you could possibly need. I would definitely rent again.

Beautiful

From booking to checking in to the stay itself …everything was wonderful. House is so comfortable. Decorated beautifully. Pictures don’t do it justice. More room than the pictures show. Cooked our Thanksgiving dinner in the house and had everything we needed. Wonderful selection of pots and pans. Had a couple questions while there and response was immediate. Location to town is very walkable. In fact we walked home one night from Ugly Dog. Would definitely stay again. 5 stars for sure!!
