April Renters

Hello, Bill. Your house is lovely. We had a great time and the house served our purposes perfectly. We both had the same reaction: the house felt like home! It has many aspects of our own home in the mountains in eastern Washington. We were so busy with 2 birthday parties (one for Jim's 90 year old mom and another for his 30 year old daughter) and a wedding that we spent a good deal of time in the kitchen shoveling out food and chasing dishes and glassware for the dishwasher.

The outdoor porch with fireplace was everyone's favorite hangout. (It was COLD, so we enjoyed the warmth of the outside fireplace, although we never had time to build an indoor fire. Too bad!)

Anything to improve the visit? That is a tough one, but we asked ourselves that same question, too. Jim--the gourmet who dished up a lot of meals while we were there--said he would have loved a great set of chef knives (he is spoiled). However, we BOTH commented that you have really fitted the house with great quality furniture/linens/dishware, etc. that we would be reluctant to share with renters!! You are a trusting soul!

It is a truly wonderful house and we are very glad we found you. Our best to you and our thanks for a wonderful experience.

We had a great time and the house was beautiful. Both Claire and I and the couple who went with us felt that it was the nicest, most well equipped rental property that we had ever stayed in. I honestly can't think of anything to change. What a relaxing getaway!
thanks again

We spent a long weekend with 2 other couples watching NCAA basketball in front of the fire and cooking in the oh-my-whatta-fabulous kitchen. I have never stayed in a rental property anywhere that had such a well-appointed kitchen, and the complimentary firewood was a lovely touch. The weather did break long enough for a vigorous walk around the empty golf course and there are amazing views from the house itself. Truly luxurious beds, linens, towels, and a very complete user manual for the house made us feel right at home. The owner was very responsive when we had minor difficulties with the internet access, and we hope to return later this summer. Definitely five stars!!

Owner's Response: Thank you. It is always affirming to hear from our clients. We take our client experience very seriously and always hope to exceed expectations. With the wonderful help in the Highlands community the Internet wireless fix was just a phone call away. PS Easter weekend with the warm temperature we slept outside on the hanging beds both nights. I highly recommend this to all our Peak Season renters.

Hey Bill,

I wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed the house this weekend. It was decorated beautifully and was very "Warm" and functional for our group. Each year we always find something that we don't like or would like to change but, I can say that was not the case with Highwoods. It was just perfect and we will definitely choose your home again when visiting Highlands.

Where to start?? This home is amazing. No detail has been overlooked. My family and I rented over the Christmas holidays. We were delighted with everything from the decor, linens, location to the hospitality given prior to our arrival by the owners. This is a top notch retreat for anyone. I would definitely rent over and over again.

We have stayed in 8 VRBO properties and this one is one of the best. The furnishings and artwork are appropriate to the beautiful mountain setting. Every detail for comfort has been carefully prepared. Linens and tableware are of the best quality, and the kitchen is stocked better than my kitchen at home. I had no trouble preparing Thanksgiving dinner for 9 people. The stove has six burners and the oven held a turkey and had plenty of room to spare for several baking dishes. Every kind and size of baking dish that you could ever need is provided.
There are enough private spaces in the house to allow everyone to find a place to read or work - my sister loved the desk area and worked on her book there. My little niece took her book to the swinging beds. Every morning I would wake early, fix my coffee and then just "tour the house." The sun comes up behind the hills at the rear of the house, and so if you sit in the living room and look out at the mountains, you can watch them slowly take on the morning light. The artwork and rugs compete with the view - all beautiful. My mom commented that the place "feels" so good - careful attention has been paid to fabric textures for bedding, chairs, etc. Beautiful tile work and very nice bath fixtures. We took our small dog, and enjoyed the good walking areas with him, and twice came upon a large flock of wild turkeys that live in the woods behind the house. The golf course staff could not have been more welcoming. We had planned to have lunch at the clubhouse before golf one day, but the restaurant was closed. The golf pro found sandwiches in the kitchen for us! What more could you ask . . . but there is more . . . the course is beautiful and the pro shop full of great gear. It is a short drive up to Highlands for shopping and dining out, and a short drive down to Cashiers for groceries and farmers market. One great feature we had never seen was the gas starter on the fireplace. The fireplace burns wood, but starts with gas. Wish we had that at home!!
Owner's Response: This is also from our Thanksgiving Renters. Just couldn't resist not posting this version. Thanks for staying with us T.B. - Bill

We have rented many wonderful vacations properties, but this one is the most thoughtfully appointed and tastefully and beautifully decorated. The first mornings there, I would wake early (without backache, because the beds are so comfortable, and the linens and blankets so plush), make a cup of coffee, and then "tour the rooms," so I could enjoy the beautiful artwork, rugs and color combinations. My niece could not resist taking her book to the swinging beds on a sunny afternoon. The dog enjoyed many walks in the woods, and twice we came upon a flock of wild turkeys. For Thanksgiving Dinner, the oven held a large turkey as well as several baking dishes. Cookware, china and glassware is best quality. The grill is a dream. There is enough room (outdoor living areas are varied, beautiful and comfortable) (lower den is cozy and has a bar and ice maker) for everyone to find a quiet space. My sister found the desk area in the lower den to be a very comfortable and out-of-the-way place to work on her book. Lots of firewood and an easy-to-start fireplace - burns wood but starts with gas - we had never seen that combination, and we wish we had that at home! The Old Edwards temporary membership was a blessing - golf staff could not have been more welcoming, and the clubhouse and golf course are beautiful. This home with golf ammenities was great in November, but would be beyond compare in spring, summer and early fall when the mountain scenery around the golf course would truly shine. It's a short drive down to Cashiers to Ingles for groceries and a short drive up to Highlands for great shopping.

I will tell you that we loved the house - especially the kitchen and the beds. My friend and I cooked breakfast for seventeen on Saturday morning and were elated with that HUGE frying pan that held the entire pound of bacon. Mercy! There was nothing to want for in your kitchen. I think that I would enjoy cooking again if I had that bright, open and well stocked kitchen. Everyone raved about the beds and the wonderful night sleep. Each of us loved the way the rooms were decorated. Now that is a real accomplishment! The guys were all engineers and they do not recognize anything that isn't greasy or dirty as being pleasing to the eye. So, a hearty pat on the back for you two!
Even the towels and the view from each bedroom got rave reviews.The small touches through out the house did not go unnoticed either. I especially loved wrapping up in the white lap blanket. Curt's engineers loved the screened in porch and the gas fireplace. And they all loved sitting around the dining room table as my friend and I worked in the kitchen. Nor could we get over how many places you two have been via your photo log! That was so interesting because we are retired military and have moved all over the world and the USA. So we tripped down memory lane or expressed our desire to go to some of the places that you have vacationed. In case you have not gotten the drift - we loved our week-end at your home. Your home is awesome and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to stay there.

Marti

PS: We read your instruction booklet and tried to follow them to a "t".
I hope that we did not fall short! The booklet is a wonderful idea. We did not have to guess at how to operate anything or what you wanted done, etc. Kudos for this also!
