Cozy little spot in Highlands. Good location. TV was not good. Never could find the cable channels and the streaming was spotty. No instructions for checkout. Grass in the back down to the lake needed cutting.

We loved the place. Better than pics. We did see a bear right next to the railing so keep your eyes open. We were a little surprised that we sent four different questions to the owner…one prior to booking and three after booking and they only responded to the last one but too late to help. Maybe we did something wrong? We would stay there again.

Perfect for a weekend trip

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for in a quick weekend trip. It was exactly as described on a relaxing portion of Mirror Lake. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and conveniently located to downtown Highlands and multiples hiking trails. We enjoyed our stay!

Very clean! Great view. Tv didn’t work all weekend but owner tried to fix issue. Not a fancy place but had most everything we needed. Best part was visiting Highlands for the first time. Great restaurants and shopping. We visited Cashiers and Lake Toxaway saw beautiful waterfalls!

This little cabin is older with a nice bedroom that is a new addition. The interior has several steps so be aware of that. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The location was super. Thanks so much!!

20th Anniversary Trip

We love Highlands, and this location was perfect. Close enough to town, but distant enough to get away from the crowds. It's a bit worn inside, but that lends to the woodsy mountainy vibe we were looking for. Would stay again!

Anniversary trip

My wife and I stayed here for our 20 year anniversary. It was great. Mirror lake is right off the back deck and is so peaceful. It’s also located close to some great trails and waterfalls. Downtown is only a mile away with some great restaurants. We would stay again for sure.

Great weekend getaway for my wife and me. This was our first trip to Highlands and Mirror Lake was the perfect place—peaceful, plenty of room, everything we needed, and really close to the village and hiking spots. We look forward to being back soon.
