Cozy, comfortable home
The hosts made the process so seamless and even accomodated and early xheck in request last minute. The home looks even better than shown in the pictures. It was so cozy, beautifully decorated and the indoor fireplace was our favorite. The short drive to town made the trip even better! We will definitely be coming back again, they literally thought of everything!

We’ve stayed at a lot of rentals in Highlands and this one is in the top 3. Everything we needed for our family and it has a perfect set up for our dogs. We will definitely be back. I hate it we had to leave early.

Great Cabin!
Our stay at this cabin was very comfortable, we loved the location near town and it was decorated very cute. It took a few times figuring out the entry pad, but after that it was fine. We were able to check in early which worked out well for our schedule. Would highly recommend this cabin!

Wonderful cabin, great location
This property is amazing! It's so cozy and VERY clean, beautifully decorated and you can tell so much time is placed into all of the details to assure a comfortable stay. The location is great - just a short drive to town where we enjoyed browsing the shops. We also enjoyed hiking and ziplining nearby. My husband enjoyed the outdoor space where he enjoyed relaxing watching sports on the outdoor tv by a fire. We will definitely be back to visit again!

Best we’ve stayed at!
Can’t say enough about how great this property is. Front and back outdoor areas are awesome for hanging out and the home itself is updated and appointed to a tee. The entire house is stocked with everything you can possibly think of and the few questions we had were answered promptly. Will try and book this house every time we return!!
