About this property

Cozy Quiet Cottage

Relax, Refresh and Rewind in this charming, fully renovated Highlands cottage, nestled on top of a ridge in the beautiful Mirror Lake community just minutes from downtown. The cottage has 2 bedrooms (but can sleep 6 with a queen couch bed) and 2 full baths.
Renovations just finished include new red oak hardwood floors throughout, complete repainting with low or no VOC paint, remodeled kitchen and great room with new appliances, a large flat screen tv, backyard fire pit area, large wood burning fireplace in main room, and remodeled bathrooms that include special heaters for those chilly mornings.
This comfortable and relaxing home has special features that will make your stay relaxing and enjoyable: a great room with cathedral ceiling; a porch running across the entire front of the house with a sitting area, rocking chairs and old-time porch swing; spacious back deck with sitting area; a built-in bar area; and 2 new very comfortable beds including a king Avocado Green mattress in the master bedroom, and sleeper sofa.
Though this cottage is located deep in the woods it is very sunny with well- placed windows, French doors opening onto the deck, and a skylight over the great room. And it is very, very quiet.
A special feature of this home is that the owner is committed to cleaning and maintaining the premises with environmentally friendly disinfectant cleaning products containing no harsh chemicals.
Rental rates are $265 per night with 3 nights minimum; $1670. per week; $50.00 per night for any adults over 4; $150 cleaning deposit and signed contract. Sorry, no pets.

Cozy quiet cottage is the perfect descriptor. My wife and I were looking for a peaceful spot that was close to Highlands shops and restaurants. Very comfortable place. The cottage is tastefully decorated and well stocked to meet almost any need you may have. Would be our first choice the next time we visit the area.
