More Details:
Our loft is located in the historic Galax Theater Building - where Highlands’ first movie theater was located years ago. Updated in 2023, the loft is the perfect space for someone looking to stay in town! When you walk upstairs into the Galax Loft, you’ll immediately notice the space has been thoughtfully curated to create a modern mountain atmosphere. From the vibrant furniture, gold fixtures, and an accent wall to the natural wooden beams, indoor foliage, and antique landscape paintings, the space is a perfect blend of what’s current and classic.

The living room is filled with natural light thanks to the vaulted ceiling and skylight. The living space is a perfect spot to relax between everything you have planned for your trip!

From the living room, step outside to our balcony that overlooks Main Street. Outfitted with a bistro table and seating for two, this relaxing outdoor space is a great way to start or end your day. Read your favorite book with a cup of coffee in the morning. Pour a glass of wine and people watch as everyone heads to dinner in the evening.

The cozy bedroom features a comfortable king size bed and Smart TV. Cozy up in the hotel quality linens and binge watch your favorite show - is there any better way to relax and unwind from the day?

The bathroom is located off the kitchen and primary bedroom and features an industrial galvanized metal shower and a few toiletries you may need during your stay!

With all of the incredible dining options here in Highlands, we don’t expect you’ll want to do much cooking. However, the apartment’s kitchenette has a few essentials to help make your stay more comfortable: Refrigerator, Microwave, Coffee Maker and supplies, Electric Kettle, Dishes, Soap/Sponge, etc.

Located directly on Main Street, incredible convenience is included with your stay at the Galax Loft. While here, you are only steps away from Town Square, the heart of Main Street Highlands. Start your day with a delicious latte at the local coffee shop. Hike up Satulah Mountain or Sunset Rock for the best views in town. Have lunch outside on Main Street. Stroll around the trails at the Nature Center. Catch and release trout at Harris Lake. Shop Highlands’ world class boutiques. Stop for a glass of wine at the Wine Garden. Listen to Music in the Park on a Saturday during the season. Indulge in one of Highlands’ incredible fine dining restaurants for dinner. Catch a performance at the Performing Arts Center. Enjoy late night drinks at The Ugly Dog or Highlands Tavern. Do all of this (and more!) without stepping foot in your car! If you are looking for location, it does not get better than the Galax Loft!

"We had a wonderful stay at this charming condo in Highlands, NC. The location was fantastic, and the decor added a cozy touch. The bed was comfortable, though we found the pillows a bit too thick for our preference. However, the host was very attentive and reached out to check on us. After I mentioned the pillow issue, they promptly had thinner ones delivered before the end of the day. This thoughtful gesture made a significant difference for our last couple of nights. Overall, it was a lovely experience!"

We couldn’t be happier with our stay at the Galax loft. The location is unbeatable and the loft was well curated and cozy. A great vibe and in the center of the city. The hosts were gracious and welcoming. We will be coming back!

Middle of Everything

by Bill Turnbull

My wife and I had a wonderful trip here and we met up with her Jr High school friend and husband. We loved being in the heart of the Highlands and the location was perfect to restaurants and shops. The complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch and helped us to celebrate our 47th Anniversary. Highlands Rentals was very responsive to our needs even though we didn’t need much as they provided most everything you needed.

My husband and I wanted to stay right in center of the Highlands. Couldn't have been any better! Sweet place, comfortable bed, great shower. The only improvement I would make is to offer a way scramble an egg in the morning. The unit only offers a refrigerator and a microwave. But maybe it isn't advisable for insurance, city ordinances, etc. Would recommend this place! The balcony overlooking Main Street was a great place to sit in the mornings with coffee or in the evening prior to heading out for a dinner reservation. It has a speak easy feel to it. We enjoyed our visit to Highlands!

We enjoyed our stay at Galax Loft on Main St.! The apartment was charming, loved the decor and we were impressed with the efficient design of such a small space. It is tight but really pretty and extremely clean, which we value greatly. We also appreciate the gift box with toiletries, kitchen essentials, pantry basics and the nice touch of a bottle of wine upon check in. The location is perfect, a minute away from wonderful restaurants and right next door to a lovely boutique where I found several cute pieces. We recommend this apartment if you don't mind tight spaces.

We LOVE this little adorable, beautifully decorated, fabulous location apartment! The place is like something out of a magazine. It even has a little porch to sit and watch the hussle below! Love all the amenities and even a bottle of wine in the frig for us! What a comfortable bed too! Great water pressure for showers! So so clean! Located over a cute shop right in the heart of Highlands! We are coming back again and again. I’ve rented a lot from air bnb and others. This is the BEST rental I’ve ever been in!

Wonderful staff. Easy Process.

 You have thought of everything! It is perfect. This is my new favorite place! We will be back several times a year. I loved everything about it. I am afraid to rave about this place too much or it will be booked next time we want to come. Thank you so much for getting my pillow back to me; that was amazing. Thank you for a lovely stay! See you soon!

VRBO Review - "Highly recommend the Galax Condo!"

by Erin N

The Galax condo is conveniently located on Main Street and within walking distance to many of our favorite shops and restaurants. The unit was very clean and beautifully furnished. The primary suite bed is extremely comfortable and the unit was perfectly stocked with everything we needed for a long weekend, including a chilled bottle of wine upon arrival! We were easily able to come and go throughout the day given the prime location on Main Street and we never had any issues with parking. The unit comes with a designated parking spot behind the building, but we never had to use it. I highly recommend the Galax condo and we look forward to going back.

Sweet loft apartment - in town!

by Jen Murphy

My husband and I loved our stay at this sweet rental. You can’t beat the in-town location! The loft apartment is right on Main Street (up one flight of stairs), perfect for visiting the many shops and restaurants within walking distance. We enjoyed the quiet mornings on the balcony and again in the evenings, just relaxing. Everything we needed for our stay was available and the king size bed was so very comfortable. We can’t wait to visit Highlands and the Galax again!
