Great location

Very clean! Great view. Tv didn’t work all weekend but owner tried to fix issue. Not a fancy place but had most everything we needed. Best part was visiting Highlands for the first time. Great restaurants and shopping. We visited Cashiers and Lake Toxaway saw beautiful waterfalls!

Perfect for a weekend trip

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for in a quick weekend trip. It was exactly as described on a relaxing portion of Mirror Lake. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and conveniently located to downtown Highlands and multiples hiking trails. We enjoyed our stay!

The location is great and the size is just right for 2. However, we had to leave early due to mold/mildew smell. We have a small place on a lake and understand that this can happen, but if it is maintained properly it can all but be eliminated. We noticed a damp rid but it had not been changed out in some time. We were only able to stay the one night, which in all fairness is an expensive one night stay. Not sure if the owners would be willing to comp us one night??

This little cabin is older with a nice bedroom that is a new addition. The interior has several steps so be aware of that. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The location was super. Thanks so much!!

The location was great and check in/check out was seamless. The house however had a damp odor, know that it’s on the water and the air wasn’t on when we got there, we thought the AC would help. After the first night the dampness was bothering my husband’s

Anniversary trip

My wife and I stayed here for our 20 year anniversary. It was great. Mirror lake is right off the back deck and is so peaceful. It’s also located close to some great trails and waterfalls. Downtown is only a mile away with some great restaurants. We would stay again for sure.

20th Anniversary Trip

We love Highlands, and this location was perfect. Close enough to town, but distant enough to get away from the crowds. It's a bit worn inside, but that lends to the woodsy mountainy vibe we were looking for. Would stay again!
