This property is a great location. Bed linens and bath towels were nice, soft and clean. The house is spacious. Some attention to detail is highly recommended. The bedroom to the left of the front door needs some work. The bathroom’s shower door was off the tract and the closet door in that room didn’t work. also in that bedroom the vent cover was dirty and rusty. Some lightbulbs needed changing in the house. another help would have been to label the tv remotes. If these items were fixed, I would stay there again.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Communication was easy, directions were spot on and the home was very conveniently located next to downtown Highlands. The home itself, while dated, was very clean. Our only disappointment was that the deck furniture and deck were not set-up and cleaned off. There were cobwebs all over the deck and a thick layer of pollen on all the furniture. Since we wanted to enjoy some outdoor time we had to clean it all ourselves.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location

I’ve stayed in many VRBOs, and this is the most dated property I’ve ever stayed in (and the only one I’ve ever given a less-than-5-star review for). This is a very dated and old property. The pictures are slightly misleading, as the property is pretty tired. The carpets are old, there are many places in the floor where the subfloor was sagging and you have to avoid stepping on, a bed broke when we were there because it was many decades old, it had a damp smell throughout the house. A door to the bathroom wouldn’t shut. The water in the lake isn’t swimmable. It doesn’t look like many, if any, updates have been made to the house in years. The positive: The views of the water are pretty, and it’s close to town. The host was responsive and the check in process was easy.

Had a girls bday celebration trip and really enjoyed our stay. The big living and dining room were perfect gathering spaces to accommodate us all together. Fireplace was nice to use on the chilly nights. Enjoyed the deck and beautiful views as well. Overall the house was nice and clean except for the air vent in one of the rooms was covered in dust. All in all had a great visit.

Weekend Family Trip

The house was great for our family. We loved that we each had a private bedroom and bathroom. The house was very clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed. We were there in the fall so we didn't really enjoy the outdoor area but enjoyed the home very much.

Great Host and Property

The house was perfect for our family, very roomy and comfortable and less than 5 minutes drive to main street. Had some issues during check-in with access between the guest house and the main house, but this was resolved quickly by the host and he was very understanding. We would definitely stay again in the future.

Oasis in mountains.

Beautiful and tranquil location. It was very clean but could use some updating. The mattress we slept on was extremely comfortable so that was a huge plus. Check in was super easy. Overall it was the perfect place and we would definitely stay here again.

About the host

I am a white collar professional living in Atlanta. I have owned property in Highlands since 1999. Highlands is the perfect vacation get a way whether for a weekend, a week or a month. I enjoy Highlands every chance I get. Its gourmet restaurants, beautiful scenery and world famous shopping offer something for everyone.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property due to its incredibly convenient location to Main Street and its beautiful views of Mirror Lake. This house sits directly on the deep water end of Mirror Lake with breath taking views of the lake.

Mirror Lake Place is newly renovated with all of the expected creature comforts. Our home is super easy to find as it located on the Franklin Road and it has one of Highlands most beautiful settings as it is located directly on Mirror Lake.
