Quick but memorable stay

We had a 2 night stay at Hidden Bear Cottage and loved it for our little family of 4. The cottage has been updated and was very comfortable for us. The kids loved running around in the backyard and we loved the fire pit and scenery. Close to town but still secluded. We will be back!

Why they chose this property

We love the Mirror Lake neighborhood for relaxing walks and access to the lake and town via the Highlands Greenway trail. Cool evenings around the fire pit with a game of cornhole is a great way to wind down after a day of shopping or hiking.

What makes this property unique

This is a single family 1 story home on a .4 acre lot nestled in the quiet Mirror Lake neighborhood that has a mix of full time residents and other vacation homes. It has a very wooded and private front and back yard, but it's easy to take a neighborhood walk down to Mirror Lake or all the way into town.
Our guests love the casual and cozy interior design and clean and modern, newly renovated bathrooms. With a fire pit (firewood provided), weber grill, and cornhole, a lot of families enjoy cool summer evenings in the backyard.
