Perfect little getaway spot in Highlands. Cute, cozy, well equipped, lush surroundings!

We felt so welcomed as soon as we drove up in the driveway. Then, we opened the door and were greeted with plenty of linens, toiletries, coffees and teas and delicious candy! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Quaint

The man with the baby, next door, gave us an unpleasant greeting. The location is challenging for a handy-capped person. Would appreciate some shades in the front room and more cooking instruments. We did have a bear encounter - off the property. (exciting) Enjoyed the stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Aug 2024
Hello Richard, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. I wanted to point out a couple of things that may help you with future stays at other properties. When it comes to handicapped accommodation it is always important to reach out to the property host because in a VRBO situation there is a broad range of accessibility because you are being welcomed into someone’s private home. This sweet little cottage does have a bridge and a stone path and a few stairs to the front door. I am always happy to help guests find appropriate properties for their needs. I was confused about a neighbor with a baby because the only people in residence were the homeowners and they don’t have a baby. Usually encounters with locals here in Highlands are friendly and kind and I can only apologize that you met anyone who wasn’t. As far as cooking supplies, we have actually provided more than what is listed in the amenities for Mama Bear. Again it is always important to check amenities for things that are important to your stay. We have provided a small frying pan and hot plate to make an egg in the morning along with a mini fridge, microwave, toaster and coffee station as stated on the listing. Mama Bear is meant to be an easy getaway, close to town but is priced for what it is and I have many more expensive properties with full kitchens. Thank you for your review and please feel free to reach out to me for assistance in finding the perfect stay for your next trip to Highlands.
