This was a delightful little cottage right on the edge of downtown, making it easy to access all weekend long. It was the perfect size for two people and we thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor living areas, especially the screened in porch.

We enjoyed the cottage very much! Everything we needed in the kitchen was available. We enjoyed the firepit and the fireplace! The location was wonderful for the area! The only recommendation would be to replace the couch and chairs inside as they are very uncomfortable. We brought in 2 chairs from the table on the screened in porch to use during our stay so it worked out OK! Would highly recommend and we would definitely return!

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!

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.

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.
