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. *****

This unit is in a quiet mountain setting, and the property is surrounded by beautiful mountain rhododendron. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything one might need to prepare meals, allowing me to cook a Christmas dinner for my family. Beds were comfortable, and the WiFi worked flawlessly.

Great place for our stay!Only draw back is the driveway. The place sits in a curve so it is hard to see when pulling out. It is in a mountain community so the curves cannot be helped. I did suggest a mirror to the host and they were understanding, but unfortunately it is out of their control as the neighbor across the street is not willing to be helpful.
