This was such a lovely, private location that was still immediately close to everything downtown. Very quiet, perfectly clean, spacious, and comfortable. The room amenities were so well thought out. Check in and all other communication was seamless. Host made everything as easy as could be.

This is a great location for its walkability to everywhere in downtown and many trails as well. Easy to find, adequate parking, and quick access to Hwy 64. Nice and quiet and quick walk down to Blue Bike Cafe, The Stubborn Bull, High Dive and Restaurant Klapdohr.

Fantastic

by Marc C

Our stay here was absolutely fantastic. The location is perfect to get around town. We were able to walk to dinner and many of the stores. It’s only a short drive to the falls as well. They also have a lounge area near a stream that was so peaceful. The room has all the essentials and the bed was amazing. The bedding and mattress gave us some of the most restful sleep we have had in years. Customer service was great too throughout and after. Would stay again.

This is such a great place, location, and space (Suite 3). The photos are great on the listing but don’t do it justice. We were so pleased when we first stepped in. We will be back. Communication was great, timely, and very friendly. Extraordinarily clean place. Easy walk to the main town area, and right next to a great spot for breakfast. Very quiet overnight, and peaceful in the morning.

Our stay here was pure delightful. The unit was decorated very nicely and homey. The bed was also comfortable. The unit was located walking distance for restaurants and Main Street that has a lot of unique shops. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arose again.

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!

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!).
