Elegant 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom home in a secluded location less than a mile from downtown Highlands. Full of charm, this home boasts three fireplaces, two living areas, antique hardwood floors, exposed antique pine beams, and a large covered screened in porch with mountain views.
The home opens into a large and lavishly stocked & updated kitchen, open to a cozy living area with a TV & fireplace, and a formal dining room surrounded by windows.
The spacious Main Livingroom has a stone woodburning fireplace, a variety of comfortable seating, and a Smart TV. The living space extends outdoors with access to either the screened porch or a backyard patio from the main living area. The backyard patio features a small water feature, an outdoor firepit, a grill and a bocce ball court.
The master bedroom offers a King sized bed and its own private bathroom with heated floors, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. It also has its own access to the screened in porch.
On the other side of the Main level is a full bathroom, 2 sets of laundry machines, a bedroom with 2 Full-sized beds, and the main foyer of the house.
Upstairs is a small landing with a desk and small couch, surrounded by 3 additional bedrooms (King + crib, 2 Twins, 2 Queens) and a bonus room with a Queen-sized bed, Toddler bed, daybed, and its own extended seating area with a Smart TV. There are 2 full bathrooms upstairs for guest use.
All of this on top of the mountain yet still walkable to Downtown Highlands' world-class shops and restaurants! The home's paved driveway has a steep incline, however, so the walk back from town may be a hefty hike for those who aren't avid walkers.
Norman Ridge has it all and more, proved by testimonies from several years of satisfied renters, with both long term stays and weekend getaways. Ask about booking a reservation today!

by Kim + Dan W (Chattanooga TN)

This is the  fourth time we've stayed in your welcoming home-- what started as a home large enough for our extended family -- has turned into a place we love and cherish-- even if there's only 2 of us. The porch, the breeze, the beautiful surroundings-- All something we've come to look forward to year after year. 

We love Highlands (been coming over 30 years), and we can add Norman Rige to the top of our fav memory list!

We truly enjoyed our family time at your beautiful home. We felt like we had stepped into a magazine but then felt warm and welcomed. Our youngest daughter was married at the The Farm and this house provided us a home where all of our family could gather and celebrate. 

Thank you so much!

This ha sbeen a relaxing and fun family vacation for the six of us 🙂 The weather has been cool and pleasant and the location is wooded and private even though the town of Highlands is near-by. We went into town for an evening dinner out and walked the streets and "browsed" in some of the shops. Our family is from Birmingham AL and Cedartown GA with ages 81 down to 15.

VRBO Review "Best Rental in Highlands"

by Andrew R

Norman Ridge far exceeded any expectations. The house is in extremely great shape while also having many timeless features and incredible character. The home was a blessing to stay in and I would like to stay here for years to come. The beds ALL are extremely comfortable. Kitchen was perfect for our group. Indoor fire places in too many rooms to count and were in great working order. The screened in porch was well kept and very relaxing. The decorations, construction, and finishes throughout this house were amazing and very well selected. All bathrooms were fantastic. Cannot say enough great things about this house.

Wonderful stay overall. So much fun to have 3 generations of our family under one roof. Great proximity to Highlands and all the area has to offer.HVR was very helpful, especially due to the fact that the property management company changed from Highlands Cove Realty to HVR between the time we booked and when our rental was. This was made a smooth transition. We only called a couple of times before and during our stay, but quickly got the information that we needed.
