Wonderful stay
The layout of the house was perfect for our family. Grandparents could stay upstairs and have access to kitchen and living area without having to do stairs. The owners completely renovated the property, and it’s beautiful. We loved that the three bedrooms had king sized beds and their own bath. The bunk room also had its own bath. We highly recommend this property!

Very comfortable
Beautiful view. Accommodating home for three couples. Nicely furnished. Updated baths are excellent. The one lane drive up Dog Mountain was rather daunting in a dense fog, but we made all our trips with no problem. Very convenient to downtown Highlands for fun Christmas shopping.

Amazing Property…Amazing Owners/Hosts…Best Vacation Ever!!!
Could not have been happier with our most recent vacation. We made a last minute change due to a horrible rental experience with another property. These owners were empathetic and helped expedite our transition and we were blown away with our new accommodations. Sometimes when one door shuts a better one opens, and that’s precisely what happened. Our children, their friends, and their “adopted” grandparents had an amazing week bonding, enjoying quality time on the back decks, having gourmet meals prepared in the chef’s kitchen, and sleeping in the most luxurious bedding. Every little detail was thought of in this remodel, and we are excited to make our return trip to Minnie Blessings soon! We will cherish our memories in the meanwhile…

We arrived amidst a driving summer rain storm that cooled the August day off nicely. The home was perfect for two older parents who enjoyed the main level master bedroom. Downstairs were two large bedrooms with private baths. The kitchen is well stocked as is the garage!! We watched TV to keep up with Hurricane Irma and enjoyed a natural fire as the temperature dipped into the upper 40's at night. Would love to return!!

A great trip with a great view!
The home is very comfortable and view is terrific! We spent a lot of time on the deck, especially in the evening hours. The kitchen has been updated with a new range and refrigerator which made it easy for me to navigate. We had a slight problem getting in, but the manager answered my call and responded to our problem immediately. . The location is very close to downtown Highlands and other nearby places of interest. It is large enough for multiple couples to have privacy or for a family. f ]=]

Great location
Great location near downtown Highlands while still being in a quiet location with great views. Convenient to lots of hiking and waterfalls. I recommend the Glen Falls and Whiteside Mountain trails. The downstairs area was perfect for our tween and teen kids. There is a TV and living area for them to hang out and two bedrooms with their own baths. Also a bunk bed in the living area for more sleeping area. You can tell the house is a little older, but they have done updates which are very nice. The sun room with the hanging bed is very cute! We were there in the winter so couldn't enjoy it, but it would be a great place to hang out in the summer. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of kitchen tools to make cookies for Santa!

AS ADVERTIZED
I did quite a bit of research before choosing this house for our stay. I live in an historic home and own a lake recreational home. This place was likely built some 50 years ago so it has been updated from time to time. If you must have brand new everything this might not be for you. For us it was just what we wanted. Great view from the back deck. Beautiful great room. Easy to get in and out as the parking is level with the rear of the house. Cool sleeping porch. And the owners leave certain spices, etc.. in the kitchen cabinet so you have to buy EVERYTHING. Very close to town. Once you get use to the narrow road that takes you up to the house its a piece of cake. Had an issue with the WiFi when we first got there but just required us to plug in the router which Im guessing the house cleaners accidently unplugged. Lee was very friendly and responsive about that. Overall its a great place and I would stay there again.

Great place for my family over Thanksgiving 2024. Convenient to downtown Highlands a great view of the mountains. Perfectly decorated, lots of open space. Amazing, awesome Tv's for football viewing.

We had a great stay (3 adults, 2 kids). The home is beautiful and spacious. We had a few minor issues that were resolved quickly, great communication. There aren't pictures listed of the bunk room but it was one of my kids favorite areas to play around in. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Property in Great Location
I am a travel agent and was tasked with finding a rental home that would accommodate a family & bridal party of 14 people for a wedding weekend getaway. Our agency does not typically book VRBO's as we cannot properly vett the property, however, this property is absolutely stunning and we will be sending clients back to this property in the future. Our clients can be quite choosy as are a luxury travel agency but our clients were absolutely thrilled with this home - they loved the location, amenities, the decor, the views and the spaciousness. Their only suggestion is to "put some seating in the bunk room and it needs some curtains." But they had a fabulous time and would definitely stay there again!

Family Reunion
Perfect floor plan for our family. Only a few things needed tending to as a result of recent renovations- such as, no handle on trash can drawer in kitchen, loose faucet in master bath sink. Regulating the air conditioning so that the people on the main floor were cool without freezing the people on the lower floor was a bit tricky.

This home provided us with an enjoyable stay in Highlands. We loved the great room but it needs more lighting, especially during seasons with shorter daylight hours. Beds were comfortable. The owners were great communicators. Has some difficulty with the main door but we managed.
