Perfect Locatiom

Our family of 3 had a wonderful stay at your cozy cottage! We have been coming to Highlands for several years and this was the first time that we rented a home. The location could not be any better! Your home was cozy and adorable. I would highly recommend Tally-Ho to anyone looking for a special place within walking distance to downtown.

Cozy cottage !

Bear House was perfect for our stay in Highlands. Close to everything and walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. The house is well equipped and so cozy with a fireplace and screened porch. Lots of wildlife to watch! A great place for a couple of a family.

Another Fabulous Stay!

We had such a lovely Thanksgiving! This was our second year renting this home and would highly recommend it for a visit to Highlands. The cottage is cozy and so close to town that you can stroll down to shop or have dinner. We also love the neighbors next door who are not only very friendly, they also offered us firewood if we needed it. All in all, just a wonderful stay.

Great Home!

We were able to stay two nights in this wonderful little cottage. A group of 6 of us, all adults, were in for a wedding which was in town at Old Edwards Inn. The home's location was superb to all of the festivities' venues! The home was very clean and had everything we needed. We greatly enjoyed the hospitality and ease of communication with the homeowners and will consider on our next trip to the Highlands!

Very Nice Highlands Home

My parents and I stayed here in July '15 and had a fabulous time. We found the home to be very clean and comfortable. This home is walking distance to town and the neighborhood is a quiet place for a walk or run. We would love to rent this home again. The owners were fabulous to work with. They provide renters with a lot of information on shopping, dining, and site seeing prior to your arrival. We can't wait to go back!

Great weekend getaway!

Beat rush hour traffic out of Atlanta and got to Highlands by dinner time to start our weekend at the Tree House. The house is beautiful, just as advertised. Easy walk to everything in town, and short drive to incredible hikes and lookouts. Thanks to the Owners for recommending a day hike in the Panthertown Valley area, with several waterfalls, natural waterslide (water nice and chilly - you're in the mtns!) and trout for the fly fishermen. We'll be back!!

Fabulous Highlands Getaway

I almost don't want to write this review, because I don't want it to be booked out the next time we come into town! This place is wonderful. Traveling with our two dogs, we're very familiar with "pet friendly" homes. They're either not pet friendly or just a little run down/not quality. Tallyho is NOT any of these things. It's charming, spacious, comfortable and well maintained. The back deck was great for us and the dogs to sit out on, even if a little chilly. The kitchen was well stocked, beds comfortable & towels thick & cozy. You can tell that the property owners take great care of this home. Location, of course, is fantastic. Check in was easy. This also would be a great home for two families with the downstairs area. Because it was just two of us, we only went downstairs to do laundry - but the house would be great for a couples weekend or someone with little ones. Overall, great stay and will hopefully be back soon.

Very nice stay!

The contact with this property is top notch. The house was just as expected--clean, close to town, nice furnishings and comfortable. It is located in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. The selection of movies is great and games too. We only occupied the upper floor, but the lower level is very nice w/plenty of room. It was too cold to sit on the deck, but know it would be a perfect place to hang on a warm day. There were only a few things the owners could change to have made our stay hassle free. They printed material we were given--via email or what is in the property notebook in the rental do not match. For example, the driveway--we were instructed to do one thing, but the material in the owner's notebook said something else. This was also true with operating the TV and the Wifi. As I mentioned first, the contact, Justin, was fabulous and always available to help us through this. This is a quick fix to have all instructions matching. I would definitely recommend this property to others and I would stay there again.

8/10 Good

Cute Cottage Close to Town

The house is really close to town and in a great tree covered neighborhood. The place was clean and well-maintained. It definitely has the feel of being lost in the mountains (in a good way). The only two things to consider: 1. Two bedrooms and one bath are downstairs (basement level) and can only be accessed from outside. It wasn't too much of a problem for us because we were all adults, but it did rain and it made going to rooms a bit of a pain. Also, it would be a good thing to consider if you were planning on having kids stay in the basement. 2. Seating is limited in the living room. Although most people would probably be out and about while visiting Highlands, it rained the whole weekend we were there and had an older relative who visited. So, we spent a more time in the house than usual. Other than those two things, the place was great. The owner was helpful and the kitchen is well stocked. They have a big movie collection and a wii. The house really the best of both worlds- hidden in the trees but close to town. We mostly had wedding activities that weekend, so we didn't explore as much as we would have liked, but did have dinner at Rustico on Thursday night. Delicious! Great atmosphere and delicious food.

4/10 Poor

Terry P., Valdosta, GA

Has Potential - BUT in definite need of some TLC!

I rely on Reviews and picked this property due to the Reviews. We were all disappointed upon hitting the Door. I looked back over the pic's and realized - they must be several years old. The property is a little run down and needs some attention. First - it sticks out like a "sore thumb" from neighbors on the street. Needs some Landscaping & pressure washing of exterior, and painting/stain on front/back decks. Mildew & cobwebs were everywhere. Next, when a property accepts pets - you must be extra diligent about smells. We opened the Door to overwhelming smell of DOG. Had to purchase an "odor eliminator" candle in Highlands or we couldn't have stayed. In addition on the SMELL category - the front right bathroom had a constant odor of some type and downstairs smells musty. The home has a dining table for 8 - yet there is only possible "comfortable" setting for 2 or 3 on sofa. Needs additional options for comfortable TV watching. If a home has FEMALE visitors and definitely if people are guests of Weddings - YOU need a FULL LENGTH MIRROR! After the negative - I'll finish with the Good! Location is fantastic! Perfect for driving/walking to Highlands. Perfect for attending weddings in town and distance to Highlands County Club is great. Beds were very comfortable. As mentioned - this property has tons of potential - but needs some updating and attention to detail to be the 4+ Star Property that previous reviews gave it.
