The house was dark and musty smelling. Did not have comfortable furniture. The house did not have any accessories ie: no lighter for the fireplace, no salt pepper, etc. Will not stay there again.

4th of July Weekend

Great stay—shower in basement is a tub with handheld shower so difficulty actually showering but if you don’t have multiple people showering at similar times on the trip you will be fine. Road to get to the cabin is very narrow and windy but neighborhood is very cute!

The house was clean and had some really cute pieces to it. All in all the stay was great. We had five girls so the tiny coffee pot was sort of annoying. We had to keep making pots in the morning. Also, the downstairs was a little humid feeling so if that’s an issue For anyone, know that. We had a great time and enjoyed the back porch, the gardens and the large den to visit for my girl trip.

Wonderful!!!

We came to Highlands for the HFAW Festival and love staying on Mirror Lake. This home was everything we wanted for our 11 day stay. The location is wonderful and only a 2 minute drive to town. We felt very safe driving up to the cabin. We loved the cozy den and the fire pit outside. The beds are very comfortable. We will be back for sure!

The perfect Highlands getaway!

We loved everything about our time here. The house feels like it’s built into the mountain and is surrounded by the trees. The screened in porch, the comfy couches, and the prime location were highlights. Hope to come back with friends and/or family! Big fan.

Charming Location, Mixed Impressions

We recently stayed at this cute cabin tucked away in one of the Highlands’ most coveted neighborhoods. The surroundings were serene, and the location alone earns high marks for peace and proximity to town and other sights, such as hiking trails.Inside, the cabin offered a generally pleasant experience, but the value didn’t quite match the cost. Echoing prior reviews that the converted basement “main” bedroom, bath (without shower) and closet, while spacious, had a musty odor that detracted from it. I would recommend that the owner keep the minisplit running down there and dehumidify the closet. The top of the carpeted stairs to the basement bedroom was separating and frayed.The cabin has good bones, but I was left with the impression that it was a quick renovation to allow maximum rentals. Guests might find the cost hard to justify unless prioritizing location over polish.
