Great location, comfortable sleep spaces, responsive host
This property exceeded our expectations. It was extremely clean and we loved that each bedroom space had their own bathroom. The location could not have been better. Right in the middle of town yet tucked away so that its still a private area.

Excellent in-town location!
Overall great stay at 488 Main. The location on Main Street is fabulous. However as noted the third bedroom is an open loft which can be tough with children, privacy and there were some minor issues with things working but they were quickly addressed by management. The downstairs bedrooms were lovely with gorgeous bedrooms

Wedding weekend in Highlands
Loved staying at the condo. We were with family and friends for a dear friend’s child’s wedding. The bedrooms and bathrooms are great, and it was perfect for three couples. The kitchen was also wonderful! Hope to stay there again in the future.

Great location, beautiful place, BEWARE of 3rd bedroom!!!
The house is beautiful & the location can't be beat for staying in town! BUT the 3rd bedroom should not be classified as a private bedroom! It is an open LOFT with no door & it is right by the front door & all noise travels right up the stairs. The 2 downstairs rooms are gorgeous with amazing mattresses & heated bathroom tile floors! But for some reason the upstairs room is not nearly as nice. It's still a pretty & spacious room but the mattress is not great & the bathroom is nothing like the downstairs. The other issue is that it has a skylight over the bed which lets in a lot of light right at sunrise. We also had our 3 year old sleeping on the pull down bed. The pull down bed is great & very comfortable but it's just not ideal because she kept getting woken up every nap or at night when the adults wanted to hang out downstairs & talk. And then the skylight woke us all up every morning at 6.. Other than that room the house is beautiful & was a wonderful place!
