Cozy Quiet Cottage
Relax, Refresh and Rewind in this charming, fully renovated Highlands cottage, nestled on top of a ridge in the beautiful Mirror Lake community just minutes from downtown. The cottage has 2 bedrooms (but can sleep 6 with a queen couch bed) and 2 full baths. Renovations just finished include new red oak hardwood floors throughout, complete repainting with low or no VOC paint, remodeled kitchen and great room with new appliances, a large flat screen tv, backyard fire pit area, large wood burning fireplace in main room, and remodeled bathrooms that include special heaters for those chilly mornings. This comfortable and relaxing home has special features that will make your stay relaxing and enjoyable: a great room with cathedral ceiling; a porch running across the entire front of the house with a sitting area, rocking chairs and old-time porch swing; spacious back deck with sitting area; a built-in bar area; and 2 new very comfortable beds including a king Avocado Green mattress in the master bedroom, and sleeper sofa. Though this cottage is located deep in the woods it is very sunny with well- placed windows, French doors opening onto the deck, and a skylight over the great room. And it is very, very quiet. A special feature of this home is that the owner is committed to cleaning and maintaining the premises with environmentally friendly disinfectant cleaning products containing no harsh chemicals. Rental rates are $265 per night with 3 nights minimum; $1670. per week; $50.00 per night for any adults over 4; $150 cleaning deposit and signed contract. Sorry, no pets.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Very cozy and well appointed cottage in quiet neighborhood location. Accommodations were great, home was nicely decorated and we had everything we needed. Good communication with host. Would definitely rent here again.
Very welcoming and responsive host. House was terrific! It was very comfortable and beautifully furnished and decorated. Better equipped than any other home we’ve rented.
Communication with the Host was outstanding. He made sure we had everything we needed. Since it was unusually cold he let us know where heated blankets were. (Did not end up using them). Everything we needed was onsite, the fireplace was a plus with plenty of firewood. Close to town and restaurants. Recently updated and it shows.
This cottage was idyllic, quiet, well designed and had everything you could need. So many thoughtful touches. Host very gracious and responsive as well.
Cozy quiet cottage is the perfect descriptor. My wife and I were looking for a peaceful spot that was close to Highlands shops and restaurants. Very comfortable place. The cottage is tastefully decorated and well stocked to meet almost any need you may have. Would be our first choice the next time we visit the area.
A lovely retreat, cozy & comfortable cabin. Very clean & had everything we needed. I have been a Premier VRBO host myself, so i appreciated the extra touches including the complimentary bottle of wine. I chose this cabin because of the close proximity to town & the good reviews on the comfortable bed & it did not disappoint. We celebrated our 48th Anniversary there - had a wonderful time! The owner was in France while we stayed there & still communicated well.
This was our second visit and we will be back! It’s perfect in every aspect; location, cleanliness, comfort, supplies, etc. Great communication from the host. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
This was our third stay at Dave’s place and we are already looking forward to the next! As always, the cottage was clean and equipped with all we might need during our stay. The kitchen has all necessary cooking utensils, pots/pans/bakeware, and food storage containers, and there is a washer and dryer in the basement available for guest use - just like home. The water pressure is great, beds/pillows comfortable, and location unbeatable. Without a doubt my favorite VRBO.
Perfect cottage, perfect location. This cottage comes furnished with everything for a comfortable stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking to visit the Highlands area for a vacation or weekend getaway.
Perfect getaway for a party of four... clean, well appointed, and a short 5-minute drive to town. Owner is extremely responsive and provided essentials needed upon check-in which are not usually included. We will definitely stay here again.
The cozy cottage lived up to its name. Iceland decorated, kitchen stocked with more than adequate eating and cooking equipment, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, fireplace, screened in back porch and front porch with rockers. The home host Dave was very responsive and communicative. The only drawback was the very narrow roads in the house’s neighborhood. It’s conveniently located to town.
The house was very clean, organized and everything you needed!! The notes/instructions from the owner were easy to follow and informative, left nothing for you to question! We enjoyed the house and would stay there again!
