What our guests are saying…

"Beautiful and close to town! This little cottage is beautiful and clean. Exactly like in the pictures! It is small but cozy. We rented it for my wedding, and my bridesmaids and I all got ready together in it. It is perfectly walking distance from the Ugly Dog Cafe, which is where we were after the wedding. Highly recommend!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Mai

We really enjoyed the location and the uniqueness of the unit! Such a short walk to get to food, coffee, and bars, short drive to waterfalls and hikes, and still very quiet. The fireplace was easy to use and a nice touch for a fall/winter stay! The beds were also very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again
