We really enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and conveniently located. We were walking distance to Main Street and only needed to drive if we wanted to go to nature excursions! It was the perfect size for two, and felt very cozy! We definitely will be returning next year! Thanks!

Had a great weekend at the inn. Enjoyed sitting by the creek. The living room was even a little bigger than we had expected. Very quiet and walkable to downtown Highlands. Even includes a dedicated parking spot which was great!

We loved staying at the Inn at Mill Creek! We actually thought it was cozier and prettier than the listing reflected! Communication was timely and clear; checkin was simple, and the terraced garden on the creek was lovely! We truly felt we were right in nature and the bed/linens were so comfy. We also loved the fireplace, the deck and relaxing at the creek. Thank you for an exceptional getaway in Highlands NC!

We had a great stay with Highlands Vacation Rentals! The team was great communicating during our stay, and took care of all of our needs. They were incredible flexible, allowing us to tack on a few extra days to our stay on very short notice! What a great location with walkability to everything Highlands has to offer. The sound of the creek from the patio never got old. Would absolutely recommend or stay here again. Thank you!

You can't beat the location of the Inn at Creekside. It was lovely to sip coffee by the creek in the morning and walk to town as needed. We also had a lovely brunch at the Blue Bike Cafe, which was right downstairs and had an amazing menu. We will definitely be back! We didn't even see a single team member (and that was just fine by us!).
