There were two of us and a dog. We spent great two weeks in the house. The location is great, close to Hihghland. However, you have to accept that some cars are passing by (not too many).
Great place to stay in Highlands! Close to everything we wanted to do. Very well equipped kitchen and bedrooms and bathrooms were very satisfactory with the exception that there was no mirror that my wife could use - too high.
Cottage was more than expected. Well equipped & comfortable beds. Great location too! Definitely will be back!!

Heaven!
What a wonderful time we had at this sweet, comfortable and perfectly located little home!! It was so relaxing and we enjoyed ourselves immensely!! The kitchen is outfitted very well, the beds are super comfortable and it’s so nice to have a nice washer and dryer when the stay is longer than a few days!!We had a great time and can’t wait to come back!!!
The property lived up to the listing details – it had three sleeping areas and our kids really enjoyed the time here. Loved the cozy feel, of being in the Mirror Lake neighborhood and the easy access to town and the nearby hiking/waterfalls. It was a good value for the summer season.We would strongly consider staying here again on future trips. Great experience!
We really enjoyed our stay in this perfectly located home! We brought along our 3 year old, 2 month old, and goldendoodle and had room for everyone. It was spotless and very cozy. I was impressed with the step stools in the bathrooms for kids, also one closet I noticed had a bed railing for toddlers that may need that. The kitchen was well-equipped. The location was ideal as we could easily get to downtown highlands, dry falls, and all the other local sights very easily.
A storybook home in a perfect location. Comfortable, spacious, clean, nicely decorated, attention to detail. Felt like home. Deck in sunshine extra feature. Loved this place!
We spent two quiet weeks in this beautiful cabin in the forest, with downtown Highlands only a short drive away. The cabin is very well taken care of and very clean. We will certainly come back.
Great location and front porch home for a weekend getaway. Weather was great and home worked for what we needed. Spent most of time outside and interior of home was adequate. Master bed is not a king as it’s 2 doubles pushed together and property could use some updates but again, very good location and price. Manager/owner very responsive and enjoyed our stay.
