Birthday celebration

This little mountain house was perfect for us to celebrate my birthday. Joann left me a bottle of champagne to help with the festivities!! How sweet. The kitchen is stocked full of anything and everything you could need to cook. The deck amazed with a perfect view of sunset and a fire pit. Not far from downtown Highlands, which had great shopping and wonderful restaurants. We enjoyed 4 days of hiking, rest and celebration. Thank you to Joann and Mike.

Honeymoon Stay

Perfect getaway for our honeymoon. The cabin was extremely clean and very spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and the bathrooms had plenty of towels and toiletries. Loved that it was so close to the town of Highlands. The owners made check-in very easy and gave us their phone numbers in case we needed to contact them, which we did not. We would definitely recommend this great cabin.

Beautiful setting

Lovely home with everything you need for an enjoyable stay! Beautiful view and easy access to Highlands downtown area. Disappointed the grill did not work because something was wrong with the burner. Previous renter had left Very little propane between two tanks.

About the host

Hosted by Joann Lyon and Mike Lindsey

We purchased this home in 2020 after falling in love with The Highlands and especially the adorable Mirror Lake District. We have added many improvements for year-round use like central heating and air conditioning (not common in many cabins in the mountains), Gas Log push-button fireplace, new landscaping, and expanded private parking for 3 cars.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is a large A-Frame mountain home with a sophisticated twist! The tongue and groove ceilings and wood accents suggest a mountain cabin of years past, while the upscale kitchen, deck, large screen TV with streaming and unlimited selections and furnishings offer the comfort you desire during a getaway. This is a lovely, well appointed home you'll want to return to time and time again.

What makes this property unique

This cabin's location is perfect for enjoying all the Highlands Plateau has to offer. With two lakes within walking distance, a charming downtown with incredible restaurants minutes away and hiking and fly fishing around the corner, you'll have to opportunity to experience everything. At the end of the day, curl up on the expansive deck with the fire pit, a comfy blanket and a glass of wine, and relax under a canopy of stars!
