We had such a fun stay at this cottage! The creek was my 7 year olds favorite thing and the complimentary bottle of bubbly and the chairs by the creek were perfect for us. The house and beds were great and it was decorated so cute. The hosts were super responsive and accommodating. We would love to go back!

This is a very lovely home in Highlands. We didn’t find it was an easy walk to downtown but it was a short walk. The stream, firepit and hot tub were lovely. The home was immaculate. We wish we had more time to enjoy the property. Stunning finishes!

Beautiful home, the hot tub and backyard space were a dream. The heat and air was a bit tricky. The heat would seem to cut on intermittently making sleeping a challenge. Overall we really enjoyed the home.

Hi Doreta! I’m delighted to hear that you guys enjoyed your time here at the Bubbly cottage. We love the outdoor space with the creek and the hot tub. Beautiful spot for stargazing. As regards to the AC, we have found that if you set the unit mode to On rather than Auto, the unit will not cycle on and off making it easier to sleep. I apologize that was an issue for you guys. We are always happy to help our guests during their stay with any issues. I hope you enjoyed Highlands and come back again soon! Warmly, Brittany & Jim

Excellent location and the house was perfectly suited for my wife and our two guests. The screened-in-porch was a big plus - we spent a lot of time there. We had a problem with the shower and toilet in the master bedroom. We contacted Brittany and the problem was quickly resolved. Brittany was very quick to respond to our request for help. Overall, we could not have had a better host or a house to rent.
