We loved our stay at the Owl's Den. It had all we needed for our stay and provided easy access to Main Street--as well as a short drive to several trail heads for hiking.

Great Property

What an amazing property. Close to all amenities, but far enough to feel that you were not crowded. Very cozy and spacious for 2. Highly recommend renting if you come to the Highlands. Property managers were fantastic. We will be back.

Great location & perfect little space

We loved the location, easy to walk downtown. The space is decorated well & a great space to relax. Bedding all comfy & ample towels. If you want to cook I’d recommend utensils: spatula, scissors but other than that it was wonderful. Hope to be back soon! Thanks! Thanks!!

Hi Stephen--just now seeing this. So sorry you had a lackluster experience; that is not typical of our standard at all. We do send property guides with TV instructions to all of our guests, and since your stay we have made sure there is ample coffee for the specific type of coffeemaker at this tiny home. Again, we're so sorry this affected your stay
