The unit was very spacious, clean and well decorated with great pictures and nice rugs. The check in and out was easy and communication with the host was excellent. We had planned to go out each night for dinner and enjoy the local night life, but chose to stay in and enjoyed reading and watching college football. Excellent choice if you want to stay close to town.

Unit is very close to town. We found it to be extremely clean with lots of supplies. Only negative concerns the sofa, needs replacing, very uncomfortable because of sagging. Otherwise, we loved it!

We spend time in Highlands every summer. We really enjoyed staying at Ali’s place this past week. It was clean, cozy, and very close to downtown. Ali responded quickly to my questions and check-in was a breeze. We would definitely like to stay at his place again.

This is a great little cottage near Main St in Highlands. Clean, comfortable and well maintained. The host provided dvd’s, games, streaming tv, books and magazines for the few rainy days we experienced. The beds were comfortable and the pillows soft. No dishwasher, but we weren’t making any big meals, so no big deal for us. We would definitely try to return. *****
