NOT FOR SENIORS

The steps entering the house can be dangerous, especially when loading luggage in and out. Also the step going from living room to kitchen is fairly high and I almost fell once. The gas lighting wood burning fireplace has no instructions, and could be dangerous without knowing how to use it properly. There is only one smoke detector which is located in the bedroom. No carbon monoxide detector. Why would anyone put a full glass door in the bathroom? The bamboo shade doesn't help much for privacy! The TV was hard to figure out, and apparently there are no live local programming. We were watching a movie that was interrupted by a message "please connect to internet", at which time it went black. The only pluses were the bed was comfortable, the place was clean and the location is convenient. Maybe younger people would enjoy this more, but for us, we won't be returning

20th Anniversary Trip

We love Highlands, and this location was perfect. Close enough to town, but distant enough to get away from the crowds. It's a bit worn inside, but that lends to the woodsy mountainy vibe we were looking for. Would stay again!

Wonderful Stay!

We loved our time here in this property! Very clean, comfortable bed, stocked with all the amenities you would need. It felt like a cozy cabin with gorgeous trees surrounding, yet close to everything. The view from the bedroom overlooking the lake is beautiful. This cottage is perfect for a couple or someone solo. We were visiting Highlands when the temperatures dropped and the heat worked great in the cottage. The location is fantastic, about a 3 minute drive to the main streets. We would recommend this rental to anyone looking in the area for a nice, cozy, and convenient place to stay!

45th anniversary

Used the cottage as a base to go waterfall chasing for our 45th anniversary. We lucked out that it also happened to be near prime leaf peeping while we we there. The cottage is charming and rustic, and less than 5 min to the town of Highlands. There are many good restaurants, shops and activities to do in the area. The cottage has a comfortable queen sized bed, Tv, wifi, and a fully equipped kitchen. If needed, there is a washer and dryer. The back of the cottage sits directly on Mirror Lake by the dam. Despite being close to the road, it is very quiet, and convenient to everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay again.

Short visit to Highlands

This is a fabulous little home only 1.2 miles from downtown Highlands. It was easy to find and easy to commute to downtown. The cabin was clean and fully stocked.
