Romantic Grand Canyon Getaways: Why Couples Love Highland
Some places just feel like magic. Highland Grand Canyon is one of them. Nestled in the quiet forest just four miles from the South Rim, it's where starry skies, peaceful mornings, and cozy tents come together to create something unforgettable. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a proposal, honeymooning, or just craving some quality time off-grid, Highland offers the perfect setting for a romantic retreat.
Cozy Tents Made for Two
Each safari-style tent is thoughtfully designed with couples in mind. Picture this: a plush king-size bed with a heated mattress pad, soft lighting, and your own private deck tucked beneath the pines. It’s the kind of space that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in together.
Stargazing You’ll Never Forget
The night skies at Highland are no joke. With no light pollution and zero city noise, you’ll see more stars than you ever thought possible. While you can admire the sky from your tent’s deck, the best views are just a few steps away. Grab a blanket, some wine, and head to the communal telescope for a stargazing date you’ll never forget.
Sunset Views + Morning Silence
Most tents (like Sage) face west for epic sunset color shows. And when morning comes, the quiet is a gift. Sip your coffee on the deck, listen to the wind in the trees, and forget that anything else exists.

Just Enough Interaction
We’re here if you need us and invisible if you don’t. Highland is family-run, and we love helping guests plan something special (just say the word). But if you came here to unplug and not talk to anyone, you’ll fit right in.
Real Reviews from Real Couples
"Highland's attention to detail means you don't have to worry about details. Just come and relax! Our trip was a last minute, overnight escape to decompress. Our tent at Highland was exactly what we needed. From the comfy bed and the cozy covered porch we could see nothing but trees. It was a quiet, peaceful place in the forest to stop, be in the moment, and reset."
"Highland is incredibly peaceful, offers all amenities you could need and you can tell they care so deeply about their beautiful land! My husband and I are already talking about coming back! The bed was very comfortable and clean, the ice chest was a nice surprise and even more so, the s'mores! A beautiful communal area to share stories and spend time with those you love!"
