Lovely home that was a convenient location less than 10 minutes from downtown highlands! Very clean and well stocked for everything we needed. My husband and I were in town for a wedding and loved having more space than a typical hotel!

Anne’s cottage was lovely and perfect for our Thanksgiving stay. She was very responsive when we had a question. We would love to return during the summer months to take advantage of the outdoor spaces.

Perfect mountain getaway

This was the perfect mountain getaway for us. We stayed there last month and it could not have been better. Everything was simple, secluded but very convenient to downtown. The porch was wonderful after a long afternoon of activities. You have complete privacy and can hear water in the distance. Communicate was great. Definitely look forward to staying again sometime.

What a perfect stay in this cozy mountain home! We loved every second of our stay. The home is tucked on a quiet road just a few minutes from downtown Highlands. It’s the perfect mix of feeling private and like a mountain escape and being close to everything fun in the area. We especially loved the fully stocked kitchen and working fireplace. We are not used to windy roads, so the short drive on the one-lane road to the home felt like a mountain adventure, but not too treacherous. We look forward to returning.

Very pleasant stay, great host, comfortable beds, everything worked well too! Only negative was the location, being an unwalkable neighborhood with narrow roads (9-10 ft wide with no shoulders) that should be one-way roads as is impossible for 2 cars to pass and has blind curves, but folks go both directions causing 1 to have to stop and pause in a driveway to let the other pass - if one even sees the other coming before an accident occurs.
