Great location, comfortable sleep spaces, responsive host.
This property exceeded our expectations. It was extremely clean and we loved that each bedroom space had their own bathroom. The location could not have been better. Right in the middle of town yet tucked away so that its still a private area.

This was absolutely perfect for me, my husband, & our dog Ada. We couldn’t have been happier. We enjoyed spending time on all 3 porches, grilling out twice, cooking in the well appointed kitchen, & the decor is elegantly soothing. Five stars from top to bottom.

Loved staying at the condo. We were with family and friends for a dear friend’s child’s wedding. The bedrooms and bathrooms are great, and it was perfect for three couples. The kitchen was also wonderful! Hope to stay there again in the future.

Beautiful and spacious home in the perfect location on Main Street for dining and shopping. We could step right out the front door and walk to dinner! The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are so comfortable with tempurpedic mattresses. Theres a big fireplace in the living room which is so nice to cozy up to. The bathrooms have heated floors. We will definitely stay here again!Great communication and easy instructions with good information. We never needed to reach out to anyone for anything.

We have always stayed at Old Edwards, but this is our new place! The location is second to none. Walking distance to everything in downtown Highlands. In the center of all the action - but so private. We love the modern decor, cozy fireplace and heated bathroom floors. Already planning our next trip.Friendly team and really appreciate the communication via email and text

I cant say enough great things about 488 Main. The location is beyond PERFECT! Directly next door to Wolfgang Puck restaurant and across the street from Old Edwards Inn. We walked everywhere we needed to go in town. The only time we needed to drive was to hiking locations. The rental is very clean and decor is spot on! Perfect a girls trip weekend! We will be back and you wont be sorry you rented this apartment. Thank you Lauren for your help!Lauren was a delight to work with! She was very attentive to our needs and quickly responded to all questions prior to our stay. Highly recommend.

Loved the apartment. Very clean and comfortable. Loved that it was up to date. Loved being in town. Make sure Wolfgangs property does not play the music too loud while preparing early in the day the dinner. We liked the music we heard but it could be the other way around. Just be aware.Very good.

Sue’s place was wonderful. Only 7 minute from the Main Street in Highlands, it was a great place to be location wise. The small apartment was cozy and comfortable as well as being very clean. Check in was very easy, and Sue was accessible for questions. Overall a great stay!

Thank you Cameron! So glad that you enjoyed your time at Haven and in Highlands. Two bright spots! Hope you will come back soon! Sue
