About this house rental

Situated in Highlands, this charming house for $830 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Welcome to "The Highlands Buck House." We have gone to great lengths to ensure an unforgettable stay. We have been vacationing in Highlands for years and finally decided to get our own place with comfortable beds and modern decor! Our home was extensively renovated in 2018 with the help of a nationally known interior designer. The home has 3 bedrooms and 4 full baths. There are 3 living areas as well as a daybed loft. We are located in the upscale Bowery Road neighborhood which is one of Highlands best kept secrets, just past the Mountain Fresh grocery (less than 2 miles). The neighborhood has a land trust with an extensive trail system with several gorgeous ponds. One of the trail-heads is just behind our property. Even better, the neighborhood is on level ground and accessible year round. Our home sits on two nearly flat acres of hardwoods and hemlocks. We have a gorgeous fire-pit patio with ample Adirondack seating, a picnic table in the woods, and beautiful paths throughout the property. At the very back of our property, deep in the woods, sits a marvelous pond with inviting bridges and a bench nearby to sit and enjoy the scenery. The landscaping is lush and the setting is extremely quiet and private. The home has three bedrooms and four full bathrooms. On the main level is the Master complete with a custom walnut 4 post King bed (literally made for a King or Queen!) and a flat screen television. There is also a beautiful private full bath finished in silver travertine. The more than one million year old petrified sink will surely be a conversation piece. There is plenty of closet space in the Master and throughout the home. There is an additional full bath on the main level accessible from the living space. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms. The Queen room has a beautiful reclaimed queen sized bed and a full bathroom with a large shower. The other bedroom contains a bunk bed complete with ship lights and an adorable cubby! The lower bunk is a full sized bed while the upper one is a twin. There is also a pack n' play in the closet if needed. The bunk room also has a private full bath complete with a custom stone wall in the shower. Between the two upstairs bedrooms is a loft space open to the living room. In the loft space there is a day bed with a comfortable twin mattress and a twin trundle underneath. There is also a desk in case you need to work or just write down your thoughts as you unwind in heaven on earth! All of the beds are high quality. The linens are extraordinary. The living space is extensive. There are essentially three living areas. The primary living room has a gas fireplace and a 65" flat screen tv with Netflix streaming. Then there is a connected Den. This room is more of a reading room, but also incredibly comfortable and inviting. There are plenty of movies and books to chose from while you relax and take in the view through the wall of windows. Finally, there is an equally wonderful screened porch with ample seating and plenty of light. This room brings the outside in and connects the main home to the deck where you'll find a stainless steel gas grill, another patio table, and plenty of seating for an outdoor gathering. The kitchen is large and contains essentially anything and everything to prepare meals during your stay. All of the cookware is high quality and there is a large pantry to store any food. There is also a large laundry room in the rear of the home featuring a brand new high quality washer and dryer, along with an iron and ironing board. The house is stocked with toiletries, paper products, detergent, spices, coffee and tea and more. The front porch is large and has several places to sit and take in the beauty of the landscape, including a cozy porch swing. There is ample parking on the driveway (please note that we do not include the garage in the rental. The front yard is flat and has a round driveway perfect for kids with bicycles, scooters and skateboards. The house is easily accessible in the snow as the roads and driveway are all flat. The Highlands Buck House is loaded with character. All of the art is custom and unique. The floors, furniture and accents have been selected with an eye toward the indigenous Highlands reclaimed look. In a nutshell the home is absolutely perfect. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Please note that we do have a strict no pets policy and that the maximum number of guests including children is 8. During Thanksgiving and Christmas we require one week rentals. Also, as noted elsewhere in the listing... we do not have live TV. We provide Netflix streaming and both TVs have numerous other apps that you can log into for streaming. Please do not hesitate to email us with any questions at all.

This was our second time renting a home in Highlands. And we all agreed we enjoyed this home the best! The home was exactly as described and was the perfect for our family of five. We loved the backyard and fire pit for s’mores in the evenings. We will be back!

Words can't even describe the beauty of this property. The home has beautiful walking trails and outdoor spaces. The swing was a big hit with my three children. The interior is even more beautiful than the pictures. Beds are all incredibly comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. We can not say enough wonderful things about this property.

We just stayed at this house with our children for a week, and it was perfect! The best place we have stayed in the Highlands so far! Will definitely stay there again. Agree with another review that the pictures don’t do it justice… even more beautiful, comfortable and clean in person. We really enjoyed the property too, especially the fire pit, and the proximity to town and the land trust hiking trails. Great stay overall!
