An exceptional apartment in an exceptional location! Before our arrival, the host added an additional heater to the house because temps were going to be in the low teens. Also, the wood burning indoor fireplace was an added bonus! Loved everything about the amenities and the proximity to downtown.

The host was excellent at communication and very helpful. The location is very central and the space is on the smaller side but if the weather cooperates, the outside space compensates!

Very convenient location. The “cottage” is actually the basement of a house,but it was private. It could really use some TLC,a thorough cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. It has a very damp,musty smell. On the positive side it does take pets and is convenience to town is great.

Quiet retreat very close to town

This property was perfect for a couple's weekend getaway to Highlands. It was close and easy to get to town. The property was nicely appointed for our stay. The screened in porch was our favorite feature, which included a sitting area as well as a dining table.

Great location

This property was perfect for my husband and me. We also brought our small dog with us. The weather did not cooperate with us, but we took advantage of the large screened in porch and enjoyed breakfast and coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the late afternoon. The Highlands has wonderful restaurants, so make sure you visit them during your stay. Carole the host was wonderful and answered any questions we had. She made sure to inform us about the area and things to do.
