A Luxurious Retreat Amidst Nature

Welcome to Your Dream Getaway

In just 9 minutes, you can access downtown Highlands’ upscale and casual dining, entertainment, rec center and playgrounds for the kids.

Experience a rare blend of rustic history and contemporary sophistication at our meticulously crafted lodging. Reborn in 2023 this light-filled sanctuary is designed for wellness and immersion in nature. Nestled on a stunning 4-acre estate, the property features breathtaking mountain views, rapid-running creeks with small waterfalls, and a serene bamboo forest.

The Home

Step inside a sun-drenched open-concept masterpiece featuring soaring ceilings, and expansive mountain views. The atmosphere is inviting and warm, perfect for creating unforgettable memories.

The Suites: Retreat to bedrooms outfitted with premium organic mattresses and spa-like en-suite bathrooms featuring deep soaking tubs. Indulge in the master bedroom's romantic soaking tub, complete with skylights that allow you to follow the moon and gaze at the stars. There’s also a Guest Bedroom that includes a separate entrance for ultimate privacy.

The Lego Loft: A whimsical hideaway perfect as a creative play zone for children or a cozy reading nook for teens. The loft is designed for kids to hang out and play, promoting a sense of adventure and imagination.

Gourmet Living: The chef’s kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances and luxurious finishes, making every meal a celebration. With a large island, it’s the perfect spot for friends and family to gather, share stories, and create culinary masterpieces together.

The Grounds

Outdoor Oasis: Our estate is bordered by a rushing stream that feeds into the pristine Edwards Creek, offering a private outdoor sanctuary. Enjoy activities like tree swing, badminton, horsehoes, and bocce ball in the open fields, or relax in the organic garden filled with herbs and an apple and pear orchard.

Private Trails: Explore 3/4 of a mile of groomed hiking trails with your dogs located directly on the property, leading to enchanting waterfalls where kids can play in the creek.

Alfresco Living: Unwind on the private patio or enjoy dinner in the quiet majesty of a bamboo forest and the mountains. Gather around the fire pit for s’mores and late-night chats under a canopy of fireflies.
