About the estate
- A piece of history. Built around 1910 as the Rice House, it later spent years as the Fairview Inn.
- Room for everyone. Ten bedrooms and twelve baths, sleeping up to 22.
- Walk to town. It’s close to Main Street’s shops, galleries and the Highlands Playhouse.
- Space to gather. Big indoor and outdoor spaces for family dinners and slow mornings.
- No pets. Leave the pups at home for this one.
Why Highlands is so special
- Cool mountain air. Highlands sits high on a mountain plateau, so summers stay comfortable.
- Waterfalls. Walk behind Dry Falls on a short paved path, and see Bridal Veil Falls right by the road.
- Sunset Rock. A short hike from town to a big view over Highlands at sunset.
- Whiteside Mountain. A roughly two-mile loop with dramatic cliff views.
- Main Street. Boutiques, galleries, cafes and great restaurants, all walkable.
