Highlands Haven is one of our most popular homes! Enjoy the sounds of the small creek on the open deck off of the dining room or sit on the covered front porch with a book and relax in the fresh Highlands mountain air.

What our guests are saying…

"Great Stay! The house is beautiful and the pictures dont do it justice. We enjoyed the back porch quite a bit and opened the windows at night to hear the rushing water. As soon as we got there and sat down on the porch, my husband was ready to plan our next stay. The house is located very close to the downtown area and a local grocery store. We cant wait to go back!" - Nicky

❤️Today is Doggy Date Night!❤️

Highlands is very pet friendly and we have several homes that welcome you and your doggy friend. Take a look at them here 👉 https://www.rentinhighlands.com/vacation-rentals-homes/rent-in-highlands-pet-friendly-homes/

In honor of Doggy Date Night, check out some of these fun facts about dogs that will inspire appreciation and admiration for those canine pals

🐾The most popular breed of dog is believed to be the Labrador Retriever. It has been on the American Kennel Club’s list of most popular dogs for more than 30 years, which is longer than any other dog breed.

🐾A dog’s sense of smell is estimated to be between 1000 and 10,000 times better than a human sense of smell. While humans have around 5 million receptors in the nose, dogs have around 300 million receptors.

🐾Although many people believe that dogs are color blind, meaning they can only see in black and white, this is not exactly true. Dogs can actually see in the colors blue and yellow.

🐾Dogs are some of the kindest animals. One study has shown that dogs are one of just a small group of animals that show unselfish kindness toward others, without the promise of a reward.
