In 1940, a family built a house in the Highlands mountains. They loved it enough to keep it. Loved it enough to add on as the family grew. Loved it enough to pass it down, and then pass it down again, until the third generation inherited both the property and the responsibility of honoring what it had always been — a place where a big, sprawling family could all be together under one roof.
That's what this house is. And no amount of renovation changes the feeling that comes with walking through the door of a home that has been genuinely, continuously loved for over eighty years.
The updates are real — modernized, comfortable, and thoughtfully done — but the 1940s bones are still here: in the proportions of the rooms, in the character that only time produces, in the particular way this house feels lived-in rather than staged. Six bedrooms. Six bathrooms. A game room. A second kitchen downstairs. Five smart TVs. A fire pit for s'mores and a gas grill for everything else.
It grew with one family for three generations. It's ready for yours.
A Layout Built for Families Three levels give everyone room to find their own corner without losing the feeling of being together. The main level anchors the house with two ensuite bedrooms — one king, one queen — that give the adults in the group genuine privacy and comfort without climbing a single stair. Downstairs, the lower level functions as a nearly self-contained wing: a mini eat-in kitchen for independence, a new game room for the inevitable tournament that breaks out by night two, a queen bedroom, and a full bath. It's the level that teenagers and young adults quietly claim as their own, which keeps the main floor considerably more peaceful.
Upstairs, the upper level handles the rest of the group with room to spare. A very large bedroom with four twin beds — perfect for the kids, who will love the dedicated space that feels like their own — comes with an ensuite and dressing area. A king bedroom and a queen bedroom with two additional bathrooms round out the floor, giving the upper level enough variety to accommodate however the group happens to be configured.
Every bedroom has its own TV. Five smart TVs across the house. Nobody negotiates the remote.
Outside: Two Fires, One Grill, Zero Complaints The open porch off the living area handles the social side of outdoor living — seating arranged around a fire pit table, a patio dining set for al fresco meals, and a gas grill ready for whoever volunteers to cook. When the evening calls for something more elemental, the wood fire pit pulls everyone together for s'mores, stories, and the kind of unhurried night that only happens around an open fire under a mountain sky.
Two outdoor fires in one property. It turns out that's exactly the right number.
The Location Downtown Highlands — acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfalls, hiking trails, and eighty-plus years of people making memories in these mountains — is just minutes away. But with six bedrooms, a game room, a second kitchen, and two fire pits, this house has a way of becoming the destination rather than the base.
Three generations of one family figured that out a long time ago. You'll understand why by the end of day one.
What our guests are saying…
"Excellent Property. This is a fantastic property for a group of adults or a group with kids. Very close to highlands. Every bed room has an attached bathroom which is a huge plus. We really enjoyed our stay." - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Kate U.
