Beautiful setting with all the items to enjoy the lake! House is perfect with open kitchen with living room for everyone to be together. Nice porch and dock looking onto the lake. Great for mornings and afternoons! We took the canoe out on the lake. So pretty and relaxing. House is close to town and On the Veranda restaurant. Only downside is the road noise.

Great house and location. This house was perfect for a family. The space to spread out and also gather was very nice. Updates to the kitchen and bathrooms were great. Waking up and walking a few steps to the lake and dock were amazing. We had a blast.

Lovely cabin on the water

The home was lovely and clean. It was on the water and had boats and poles that made for a fun experience. There could have been some additional supplies and the railing needs to be fixed, but otherwise the location was excellent and we had a great time.

Gorgeous views

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful, well decorated home. The views were beyond stunning, especially in the morning and evening. My kids loved playing on the dock and even went for a paddle, brrr! It's so very spacious with tons of seating. It was really too big for our family of five, we didn't even use the smaller cottage. The views from the dining area were breathtaking. We really enjoyed the fire pit as well. We would definitely stay again!

4th in Highlands

4 adults, 3 teens, 1 golden retriever made full use of this property on the lake. House and adjoining cabin for the teens was great. Lake is beautiful, used the kayaks and SUPs. Close to downtown and hikes. Only negative is that it is right on a busy road so you cannot walk anywhere from the property and must be hyper alert that all gates are locked so dog does not get out. We really did enjoy our stay!

Main house was very clean needs a few repairs of cabinets and master shower leak. Bunk house was not clean at all dog hair and a vape on the floor. Loved the location and space and time on a peaceful lake with fishing and kayaking. Would definitely come back again.

We just finished a wonderful stay at this Highlands cabin. It was perfect for our group of 10 adults and pups. The lake was peaceful, and being only five minutes from downtown made everything easy.The house was comfortable and ideal for our group. The open living and kitchen area gave us plenty of space to relax while feeling cozy. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the spacious dining area with lake views accommodated everyone. We played pool, shuffleboard, cards, and other games all week and kept a fire going.The bedroom layout worked well. The main house had three bedrooms, and the bunk house was a bonus, offering extra space, a roomy living area, and a private deck.We spent time outside, even though it was cold for Floridians like us. We enjoyed the covered porch with water views and listened to the dam. Evenings by the lakeside firepit were a highlight, and the dock, kayaks, and paddleboards made it easy to get on the lake. Our pups loved the fenced yard.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax, and we hope to come back in the summer or fall. Be sure to hike Sunset and Sunrise Rock, Ranger Falls, Dry Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. Snow tubing and the Scaly Mountain Screamer (Mountain Coaster) at Highlands Outpost were fun. Grab dinner at Highlands Smokehouse or Highlands Pizza Place.

Highlands Getaway

I had a large group of friends split between two houses. We had the best time in the cabin. Rooms are perfect, the living area was great for all of us to watch a movie. Kitchen area was excellent. Our favorite was the fire pit and dock. We sat and enjoyed a fire listened to 70's music it was great. The cabin is clean, and easy to get to. Getting into Highlands is simple and fast. We hope to return next year.
