About this property

Freshly Decorated, 1.5 miles to downtown Highlands w/ views of Mount Satulah!

Fresh, recently re-decorated listing! Escape to this beautiful luxury property, "Bonnie Cottage" is 1/2 mile from Half Mile Farm, perfect for families, sleeps 8 adults and 2 children comfortably with 3.5 baths with 2 huge garden tubs and 3 showers, 4 queen beds upstairs in 2 huge bedrooms, king bed in master bedroom with full en suite bath, finished basement is darling with ship lap and trundle bed and full rain shower! Winter view of Satula Mountain. Full kitchen with updated appliances and full size washer/dryer. Large double deck to sit and watch nature while you have a glass of wine or coffee! Being so close to town, you truly have the best of both worlds in this quiet mountain retreat! Wide plank hardwood floors throughout, fresh paint, large library with huge picture windows to sit and read and enjoy the natural beauty of the Highlands! Walk to downtown and Mirror Lake or make the short drive. If you are going in town to an event, or some thing, fancy or at night, you will want to drive and not walk. We do accept up to 2 well trained dogs with a $200 pet fee. Dogs are not allowed on the furniture or in the beds. **Please note that we, thankfully, are not inside the zoning areas where short term rentals are being restricted In Highlands after 2022 and we do not support the actions of Town of Highlands in restricting our fellow short term rental neighbors in Highlands and have given money to their cause, even though we are outside the zoning restrictions. Because we are outside the zoning restrictions, we are accepting reservations for all of 2023.

Bonnie Cottage vacation
Never have I experienced the degree of effort to which Wendi went to assure our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed- really EVERYTHING we needed. It was so nice and so appreciated. The home was beautiful and comfortable and just made for a very pleasant stay for my family and the dog.

Bonnie Cottage Offers Stunning Views wrapped in A Cozy Home
Without question, the Highland area is certainly a gem! My family and I make it a point to visit the mountains yearly and our stay at Bonnie Cottage made that possible in the best way! The rooms are very well maintained with ample bedding and nice mattresses. Additionally, the kitchen is very well appointed with many baking/cooking accessories to whip up a quick meal for any travel-weary guests! Best of all, most of our group were fortunate enough to spy a mother bear and cub! I cannot speak enough about the beautiful home and its view, nor the thoughtfulness of the owners! Thank you for sharing your home to give us this wonderful vacation :)

Why they chose this property

It is a dream come true for us to have a home in the Highlands. We have been coming here for almost 21 years and are thrilled to be able to share our love of the Highlands with you and your family. We love being close to downtown Highlands and the Bascom Arts Center, with all of the beauty of nature and a winter view of Satula Mountain. It is nice to have a short drive (about 5 minutes) from town in case you need milk or just driving home after dinner, it is so close that it is very convenient. That was one of the most important criteria for us. The home was originally built by an engineer, so it is well built and it has a generator in case the power goes off, all wide plank hardwood floors, fresh paint and all new furniture and decor. We were also impressed that it has a great air filter and it smelled fresh and was well cared for! The landscaping is gorgeous, with laurel trees, and beautiful native plants with a paved driveway, sidewalk and even a little secret garden in the front yard! It is private without being far away and isolated from town.

What makes this property unique

Since one of the owners is an artist, there is a lot of original artwork for you to enjoy during your stay. We wanted a home with a bath tub, and this one has 2 huge bathtubs with an instant hot water heater, and 3 separate showers so that several people can get ready at once. There are 2 huge bedrooms upstairs, both having 2 queen beds each, and each one has reading nooks, which we love. There is a library with a fun collection of books to read in front of a huge picture window with leather recliners and views of nature on the main floor. There is also a coffee bar upstairs with a Keurig and a Bunn coffee maker in the kitchen because we believe that coffee is important to a fun vacation get-away. We also leave guests with a complimentary bottle of wine to enjoy. All of the mattresses are new, as are the linens, comforters and pillows. Fresh toiletries and linens are provided. There is a full sized washer and dryer off the kitchen. Laundry detergent is provided for your convenience, as are dryer sheets. There is a swing on the lower deck to enjoy and adirondack chairs with a gas grill and small table on the upper deck. The main room has a farm table and comfortably seats 6. There is a full kitchen with a trash compactor. We have a bear proof trash can and weekly trash service.
