Lovely and great location

The house is impeccably and tastefully appointed and furnished, but is also very comfortable. We were two couples and the bedroom and bath layouts provided great privacy. Downtown Highlands is very walkable or a 2 minute drive. The location is removed from road traffic and noise.

House was as advertised, which is not always the case. Nicely renovated and the owners were very easy to work with. Already looking at fall dates for a return trip.

Peaceful Getaway

This property is immaculate and had everything we needed for a quiet weekend. Inside is well furnished and cozy. The porch was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The back yard and entryway are beautifully landscaped. We loved the hostas, Mtn laurel, moss and the big rocks. The location is perfect for popping into town for shopping and eating. We found several close by hiking opportunities. Host was quick and easy to communicate with. Check in/out was a breeze. Will definitely return!

Weekend Getaway with Daughter!

My 13yr old daughter and I came to the Highlands to shop, dine and hike for a long weekend. Silver lining is an excellent space , clean , inviting , comfortable and located perfectly! The owner was extremely helpful and responsive. Will look forward to coming back again… maybe with my son, who will hike more than shop!!

Wonderful stay

It was a wonderful stay in the Highlands North Carolina. The house is perfect with two bedrooms, each with a king bed and a fantastic location where we could walk to town. We enjoyed having a full kitchen and access to a deck. Becky was easy to communicate with, and was truly a wonderful host. The house was very clean and looked to be recently renovated. It was a lovely stay and we will definitely be back. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a two bedroom in Highlands North Carolina. Becky offered us ideas of restaurants and places to hike all of which were perfect.

The best rental home I've ever stayed in...

While some rentals are "nice," you end up with furniture that is less than comfortable, etc. This home was exactly as shown, with amazingly comfortable furniture, extra comfy bed/linens, & a greatly appointed kitchen. Loved all the touches that we weren't expecting. Labeled light switches, cordless charging stations throughout, Bose speaker to play music from my phone, a french press, cordless small lights for the dining table like in fancy restaurants, a shower that is bigger than my current Main Bathroom in my condo & the FIREPLACE controlled via remote device! It was extra perfect & I so appreciate all that has clearly been considered for this place, not to mention that you've made this available to rent! And we loved the short 5 minute drive down the hills to Main St. Wowser!
