We don't typically leave average or negative reviews - I either leave a 5-star or don't leave one at all - but this stay was unusual enough that we wanted to share it. The location is excellent, with a lovely view over Mirror Lake and a short drive to Main Street in Highlands. The house itself was more of a mixed bag: the decor felt eclectic and somewhat dated, and the tub in the main floor bathroom didn't drain properly, so you ended up standing in water partway through every shower.What stood out most was an exchange partway through our stay. The property manager told us the homeowner monitors the property via cameras at the front door and in the backyard, and had noticed we had two dogs rather than the one that our pet deposit covered, which was not made clear beforehand. We cleared up the misunderstanding, but the tone felt accusatory, and it was unsettling to learn the homeowner was watching the cameras during our stay. Separately, the smart Nest thermostat crept up to 75 degrees multiple times while we were out, despite us setting it to 70 each time we were there, which left us with the impression it may have been adjusted remotely.The location and view are real strengths, and the house is comfortable enough to stay in. But the level of monitoring and the tone of communication during our stay left us feeling less trusted as guests than we expected in a home we'd paid to have to ourselves.
