Family Vacation
We really liked this property. The main house is really cute with good windows and lighting. The kitchen has everything you need for basic amenities (eg dishwasher pods, S&P, cooking oil). I really liked not having to buy tons of detergent pods for 2 loads of clothes and dishes. Beds were a great setup for our family. We had a 3 year-old in one bed and there is another small room that we used for the younger boy in a Pack-and-Play. Our daughters stayed in the room over the garage and loved it. We used the baby monitor as an intercom to communicate with them. Brought bikes for them but there wasn't a lot of room for them to ride due to elevation. TV and internet work. Host is really sweet and helpful! We had a great time and would visit again.

A hidden gem
Smallwood is everything as described and more. It is a warm and cozy home with items scattered throughout that represent the fun times and love that has built it to what it is today. I will definitely keep this in my favorites :-)

Perfect getaway close to everything you want to do in Highlands!
My husband and I and our 13 year old son had a fabulous stay at Smallwood. The house is precious and extremely clean and well taken care of. We enjoyed wine on the screen porch in the evening and coffee there in the morning. Quiet setting, close to town.....the location is the best!! Less than 10 minutes and a straight shot to downtown. We enjoyed dinner in town Friday evening and grilled steaks at the house with our friends visiting from Egypt on Saturday. The kitchen had everything we needed to fix our meal. It was a perfect getaway and escape from the Athens, GA heat! Thank you, Marie, for being so kind and easy to work with!

Outstanding in every way! Exceeded my greatest expectations.
This was my first time to try a VRBO. It will not be my last but I can’t imagine another property being so rewarding. From the correspondence leading up to our stay through departures, everything was over the top fantastic. Smallwood was convenient to everything on our agenda and more. It is a beautiful home nestled in the woods. The house is immaculate- so clean I don’t think I could’ve possibly left it cleaner than I found it which is always my intention. They provide everything you could possibly need or want from coffee, coffee pot, microwave, iron , washing machine, etc. The home is more than comfortable and well appointed. My favorite spot was a screen porch equipped with rockers that provided great enjoyment. I cannot say enough great things about this home! And in fact I felt like I was at home while there!!! If you are considering this VRBO you will not regret it!

Hospitality!
We had a great stay in this lovely home! It is obviously loved and cared for! We spent some very relaxing time reading on the porch. We used the Croft when our son joined us. It was just as comfortable as the main house with a great bathroom. Marie was a gracious host before and after our stay, I hope to plan another trip to this wonderful home soon!

Perfection! What a wonderful place to relax and enjoy time with loved ones.
Smallwood is a lovey home in a beautiful setting in the trees. Situated 2 miles from downtown Highlands and eight minutes by car, this Home is convient to everything Highlands has to offer. Just at the bottom of the neighborhood, is a restaurant, “On the Veranda” which is walkable from the home, if you don’t mind a climb up a short hill after dinner. Marie, the owner of Smallwood is charming and lovely and she is very communicative but not overly so. She makes you feel at home with everything you need in a vacation property. You can tell she loves this home and area. The guest house is wonderful and is above a detached garage. It feels like an oasis when needed. The main house is lovely as well with nice amenities and comfortable surroundings. The mattresses are nice and the bedding is comfortable. In all this home is wonderful for families, and time away from it all. We will return as this Home truly is a wonderful getaway!
