We spent 9 nights in the little blue cottage. We had everything we needed. The shower was hot. The dishwasher was quicker than mine, and the dishes were always clean. There were enough dishes for the two of us; we only used the dishwasher once a day. The beds were very comfortable. There were enough pillows of different types to find what we preferred. The heat worked well - we arrived at the beginning of a cold snap. The driveway curving around the house became my exercise walk most evenings when watching leaves turn colors didn't give me enough steps. Very thankful that people stayed on their side of the double yellow line. Definitely curvy mountain roads, and we saw no accidents! Very peaceful and quiet. Highlands Visitor Center was a great stop for information and nice bathrooms. Lovely waterfalls on the way & on Main St. of Highlands.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and equiped with everything you needed. Check in and out process was perfect and it was great not being right on the main road. The only issue was the TV in the living room kept turning on and off by itself. We weren't able to watch anything for any length of time.

If respite from noise and city traffic is what moves you, this is the place to find it. We loved our break from the hustle and bustle of our hometown; kitchen was easy to cook in, the beds were comfortable, TV was fab, outdoor area was beautiful and our host (Selena) couldn't have been more easy to reach/responsive. 5 stars!

Mountain getaway

Beautiful home nestled in the mountains and perfect for our 4 night stay. Very clean, convenient, and comfortable stay. Enjoyed the nearby waterfalls, daily walks in the neighborhood and mountain drives. Will definitely return to this little piece of paradise. Selena was great to work with and answered all questions.
