Just a six-minute drive to downtown Highlands, called a "high-altitude charmer" by Conde Nast, you'll have access to boutique shops and highly rated restaurants. Make reservations at the famed Madison's at Old Edwards Inn for dinner to celebrate a special occasion. Have a pint at The Ugly Dog Pub. Visit The Bascom gallery and shop for a special piece of art or pottery as a memento of your trip. Go golfing, ziplining, experience falconry, or book a kayaking excursion. Make it your goal to visit all of the dozen or more stunning waterfalls within close proximity of the town, and get "exercise with a view" hiking some of the most beautiful trails in the country - Whiteside Mountain is not to be missed! Or is it a week of bonafide relaxation you've been craving? Let the kids embrace the area's adventures while you curl up on the couch with a good book.

Make the most of your indulgent Highlands escape by booking a massage at the Old Edwards Inn and hire a private chef to cook for you at home one night. The sky's the limit and the options are endless in this chic mountain hamlet that has all the comforts of a resort town with a charming, small-town vibe.
