Great cabin in an excellent location close to downtown Highlands
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The location and proximity to downtown Highlands was great. The view of the lake is amazing. The cabin definitely has a rustic feel but was very comfortable. We also enjoyed the hot tub and being able to bring our dogs along.
The cottage is just charming with so much room! From the deck, the sunroom, sitting in the living room watching the birds or sitting outside in one of the sitting areas, everything was perfect! Very well maintained and close to downtown. We would definitely stay here again!!!
The property is very nice. I enjoyed the canoe and swimming in the lake. You must be careful entering the highway from the driveway.

Our favorite house in Highlands
We have stayed in this wonderful cottage 4 times since the current owners purchased the property in 2014 and have enjoyed our stays each time. They have upgraded the home during that time, making it a more enjoyable place to stay. We would like to return in future years.

Thanks John! We're glad you enjoy the home and hope to see you back in the future!
Great location. Lake views. Canoe a plus. Used the hot tub and fire pit. Lots of space. Furniture outdated though. Guest beds uncomfortable. But main bedroom just fine. This was my second time renting and would again
We stayed at this fun cottage on Lake Sequoyah to celebrate a couple birthdays (mom and wife). We enjoyed canoeing on the lake, relaxing on the hammock, and just hanging out on the back deck and feeding the birds. Proximity to downtown shopping and dining was excellent. Traffic noise was a little louder than expected (the house is not far from highway 64), but overall it was a very pleasant stay and we would stay here again!
Great place for all ages: lots of room, large hot tub, dock, canoe, grill, fire pit. Beware of bears at night.

Comment on others since we did not sleep in them.
