We had the loveliest stay at this beautiful and thoughtfully appointed cottage! The location couldn’t be more convenient. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable, the living space cozy, the kitchen well stocked— we cooked several meals and every instrument we needed was there. The communication before and during our stay was excellent, and we particularly appreciated the easy checkout process that made our exit much easier with two kids under 5 years old. We cannot wait to return!

Charming cabin with a cozy atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the gas fireplace, which we used each morning and evening. Our friends stayed in the downstairs bedroom while we had the spacious upstairs room; both were exceptionally clean and comfortable. The kitchen is small but very well equipped, with a wide variety of coffee-making options. Conveniently located near shops and great restaurants, making it an excellent place to stay.

Great property with ample room for 2. Love the restaurant across the street and proximity to downtown Highlands. Hosts were incredibly responsive. Only downside was invasion of ants in kitchen, the hosts promptly had local cleaning lady bring traps.

Located less than two miles from town, the cabin is also directly across the street from, as a chef what I consider the finest restaurant in Highlands-On the Veranda!
