Another wonderful stay
We absolutely adore this property and its owner, David, and have stayed here so many times over the years that we’ve truly lost count. The location, the property itself, and its gracious and hospitable owner truly make this rental property the very best we’ve ever experienced on VRBO (or through other service). It’s become a very special place for our family and I know it will be the same for yours.

Comfortable lodging in great location
My husband and I stayed in The Nest for a week and had a fine time. Don't be deterred by the entrance, which is on an alley through a brown door smack dab next to the door to the kitchen in the tavern under the unit. Once you are in, you will be pleased. It seems spacious, is surprisingly quiet, is clean, and well lit, including with good size windows in every room. The kitchen and bathrooms seem new. David King, the property manager, is incredibly helpful and responsive. The "welcoming" treats were amazing - wine, cheese, crackers, cookies and more. All in all a good stay in a lovely little town.

The property’s location cannot be beat. Walking distance to everywhere you would like to go in Highlands. The host went above and beyond stocking the property with snacks and drinks, which we greatly appreciated after a long drive to get there. I can’t say enough great things about the property. Thank you!

Does not get any better than this property in downtown Highlands!
We come to Highlands on a very frequent basis, but this time we wanted to be in downtown in the middle of everything. The NEST was perfect in every detail. Every aspect was covered in this unit from welcome snacks and beverages to soft music playing on the Bose speakers. It was perfect and better than anticipated. Even the Highland's Tavern folks downstairs went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Once we parked our cars we were able to walk to every restaurant and shop we wanted to visit during our stay. The Nest will definitely be on our list for future visits to Highlands!

Highlands Wedding
The Nest is a beautiful luxurious home in the heart of Highlands NC. It was our 1st trip to this charming mountain town to attend a family wedding. Mr. David sure knows how to to make you feel special. We were greeted with fresh flowers wine, and cheese, fresh fruit, coffee just to name a few items. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you may need including a coffee maker. The livingroom overlooks 4th Strret and Church with a view from the french doors and juilette balcony of the Old Edwards Inn. We had plenty of space in this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfy and each has their own bathroom. The Nest is over a tavern that has music but it was not loud and it not bother us at all. This is a great home in a great location. You are within walking distance of many of the shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend "The Nest" if you are vising the area. Mr. David is a great host.

The Nest is the Best
My husband and I met friends who were staying at Old Edward’s. We could not have picked a better place. We got to bring our 12 year old dog which was so sweet. We walked in to a stocked frig, we loved having breakfast there and meeting up with our friends for lunch and dinner. We could literally see our friends walk by from our balcony. The only negative was having to leave. We will most definitely be back! Thanks for being a great host David!

Cozy retreat
Park the car & walk -shop, mountain theater, restaurants . Directly across street from ‘Old Edward’s ‘Madison restaurant’. - there is a pub/restaurant, on the bottom, but we found it very quiet and not noticeable. At the back entrance some wonderful aromas from the kitchen! Comfortable bed, which is very important. No hang up space in the Master bedroom, shelves only. I would definitely recommend and will return on our next visit to the Highlands if available🤓

Highlight of Highlands
We were delighted with our 3 night stay at The Nest. Everything was perfect! The only downside of The Nest is it has created a standard of excellence that we will now always compare other short term rentals to. I can’t imagine that any other property will match the hospitality and care that David provides his guests.

Out of a Hallmark Movie
The girls and I had a fabulous stay at the nest! We felt like we entered a Hallmark movie. The flat was absolutely adorable and decorated to a T. It’s an excellent location in the Highlands. You can easily walk to shops and restaurants. We loved the balcony and having the doors open and seeing the town. David makes it special by having treats and drinks for us as we arrive. Would definitely stay again!
