We spend time in Highlands every summer. We really enjoyed staying at Ali’s place this past week. It was clean, cozy, and very close to downtown. Ali responded quickly to my questions and check-in was a breeze. We would definitely like to stay at his place again.

This is a great little cottage near Main St in Highlands. Clean, comfortable and well maintained. The host provided dvd’s, games, streaming tv, books and magazines for the few rainy days we experienced. The beds were comfortable and the pillows soft. No dishwasher, but we weren’t making any big meals, so no big deal for us. We would definitely try to return. *****
