About this house rental

Take a walk on the quiet side

Welcome to Whittle Pines, a registered historical home that’s been in the same family since 1926. The home, updated and maintained over the years, still preserves the history and character of a different era in Highlands.
The main level has a large living area with cable TV and lots of room for gathering. There’s a separate dining room (seats 6-8) next to the well-equipped kitchen. The main level bedroom is handicap accessible and offers a King bed, room A/C unit, TV and full bath with walk in shower. There’s a nice sized back door entry/sun room accessed by ramp that has a half bath and laundry. Covered front porch with rockers overlooks expansive lawn.
Upper level has a hallway bath with an antique tub (no shower there), bedroom (#2) with Queen bed, another bedroom (#3) with two twins, and the #4 bedroom, considered to be the second Mst. BR has a Queen bed with TV, and full bath (walk in shower- no tub)
The property is protected by lush rhododendrons, trees and bushes which form a natural boundary for privacy. The large lawn is perfect for a picnic on the grounds, exploring, sitting around the fire pit telling stories, or a game of badminton.

Whittle Pines is a short, leisurely walk to Main Street, restaurants, live theater, library, churches and lots of unique shopping experiences.
Pets may be considered with a non-refundable pet fee and pet policy attached to your signed lease.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were in Highlands for a family wedding and were so lucky to find Whittle Pines. I almost wish we hadn’t been so busy with wedding events so that we could have spent all our time ‘at home’. Three of us are architects and we loved being in a historic house. We loved the sunny porch, the beautiful lawn, the short walk to town. The downstairs bedroom is large and sunny and the upstairs bedrooms have all the charm of the sweet old farm house that is Whittle Pines. We loved it!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property has a wonderful outdoor front and back yard with a large fire pit that is perfect for families who enjoy being outdoors. It is super convenient to all of the restaurants and activities in downtown Highlands. It is large enough to sleep a big family. It has not been updated and could use a face-lift with furnishings. My daughter was very concerned about the gas radiators that provided the heat. It was very cold during our stay and I had not asked about central heat. They kept the house plenty warm but made her feel uneasy and worried that her young children would harm themselves. We all agreed that it would be a great property to renovate and keep the charm of the original house.
