Everything was clean and perfect for our weekend in highlands. This felt like a large hotel suite but in a home.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed our convenient, peaceful location and found everything clean, well maintained, and comfortable. It was a pleasure having you as our guest, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the property and found the location convenient. Downtown Highlands has so much to offer and it's always nice to have it right at your doorstep! We hope to see you back again soon!
Super cute house in a great location just a few minutes drive from downtown. Appreciated all of the little extras like an extra roll of paper towels, dishwasher and laundry pods, mini shampoo, etc. Had trouble getting in when we got there, the keypad wasn't working but managed to get in touch with the rental company pretty quickly and luckily there was a back up key. The gas fireplace did not work the first night but they sent someone out to fix it in the morning and we were able to enjoy a cozy fire the rest of the weekend. Perfect size for a family of four or two couples.

The covered porch is dreamy and the beds are SO comfy! I have stayed at several VRBOs and this was excellent!! It is a very nice neighborhood that is close to town and gorgeous waterfall hikes. It was perfect for 2 couples.

Thank you so much for this glowing review! "Dreamy" is exactly what we were going for with that covered porch, and we're so glad it delivered! And SO comfy beds — we'll take that! Coming from someone who has stayed at several VRBOs, that means a great deal to us. It sounds like you had the perfect Highlands experience. A beautiful neighborhood, waterfall hikes, and a cozy home base for two couples to enjoy it all from. We hope to have you back again soon!
Enjoyed the house very much. We loved the back porch and house was very well stocked. My only complaint is that it’s very dark inside but not sure how you would fix that. Also a lot of reminders throughout our stay on rules for garbage, dishes ,laundry etc. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're so glad the back porch and well stocked house made for such an enjoyable stay — that porch really is a special spot! We appreciate you mentioning the interior lighting and we hear you! Mountain homes with lots of trees and lush foliage can tend to be a bit darker inside, but it's something we are actively looking at — from brighter bulbs to additional lamps — to help brighten things up for future guests. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
The house has everything you will need and is very comfortable. It has a great location near the main street in Highlands and close proximity to stores and restaurants. We try and book this house each year in May when we attend the bridge tournament.

Thank you so much for your great review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the house, the fully equipped kitchen, and the convenient location, and that everything felt lovely and clean. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We really enjoyed our 3 nights at this property. The inside was immaculate, the kitchen was well stocked, and we had plenty of room in all the living areas, including the bathrooms. We especially enjoyed spending time on the wonderful back deck - lovely lush foliage and the sound of the creek was so nice. The neighborhood is very quiet and walkable and we were able to get in a decent walk without venturing out onto the busy Walhalla road. The cottage is a very short drive ( 5 minutes) to downtown Highlands which is convenient. Things we would appreciate are adding screen doors on the back and carport doors, better lightning (it was really hard to find a good place to read inside), and we'd also recommend storing the back deck cushions inside when not in use - they are dirty and discolored. We'd definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for this wonderfully detailed review! We're so glad the inside, kitchen, and living areas all exceeded expectations, and we love hearing that the back deck and the sounds of the creek made for such a relaxing retreat. There really is something magical about that spot! We're glad the quiet neighborhood and easy walkability were a bonus too.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such thoughtful and specific feedback. The deck cushions are something we can address right away, and your suggestions on the screen doors and lighting are well taken — we'll look into those improvements to make the experience even better for future guests. That kind of constructive input genuinely helps us keep the property at its best.
We'd love to welcome you back for another three nights — hopefully with a few of those upgrades in place!
My five 70 siblings stayed in this lovely home. The neighborhood was quiet and beautifully landscaped while the interior of the home was spacious, well-equipped, and clean. Delightful experience!
