Beautiful house in a great location. Our family of four was very comfortable in the home. Just a few minutes from Main Street Highlands. Great stay would book it again.

Little gem of a house close to downtown Highlands. Very thoughtful additions make this brand new interior and squeaky clean home a comfortable base to plan your mountain adventures.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! It was very clean and seemed brand new. This cozy little place made us feel like we were at our home away from home. Loved it!

This was a wonderful, comfortable, and beautifully updated cottage. We were close to downtown Highlands and all the shops and restaurants along with having access to the Ranger Falls trail just down from the property which made it the best of both worlds. I can recommend this property and would definitely stay there again!

We had an amazing Thanksgiving getaway at a cozy mountain home near Highlands! The house was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed, and the thoughtful sweet treat for guests was a lovely touch. Our fur baby felt right at home, too, which made the experience even better. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and maintained excellent, prompt communication throughout our stay. We can’t wait to come back for another visit! Highly recommend!
