A Note on the Setting:
This home sits just above Hwy 64, and you may hear occasional road noise as cars wind their way through the mountains. You'll also hear the occasional neighborhood dog — part of the vibrant, pet-loving community here. We've never found it intrusive, but we encourage you to visit and experience the ambiance for yourself.
This is more than just a rental — it's a mountain lifestyle ready for you to step into. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, a seasonal home base, or a place to explore all Highlands has to offer, this home welcomes you.
