Cozy Cabin with Stunning Mountain Views and Exceptional Hospitality!

We had an amazing stay at this cabin! The mountain view was absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t get enough of it. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Getting to enjoy the snow was an unexpected bonus that made the trip even more special. We can only imagine how breathtaking the view must be in the fall when the leaves change colors. This was a perfect getaway, and we would definitely stay here again!

Great Time at The Hunter's Lodge

Enjoyed a nice quiet Thanksgiving week at the property. Everything was perfect. Beautiful area, near plenty of National Forests and Parks. We had a great time. The Cabin was very comfortable and nice. Can't wait to come back.

We enjoyed our time together at the Lodge and definitely will plan to stay again. Location was perfect for us and lots of room to spread out as a family. Play room was a huge hit with younger crowd and hot tub was great.

BEAUTIFUL cabin with amazing views!!

The cabin and property grounds were beautiful! We really enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and views! It was so peaceful and a nice getaway from city life. The host left a bottle of wine and a bag of coffee, which was very thoughtful. The bedroom on the main is great for those who cannot climb the stairs. The kitchen is well-equipped along with all the basic supplies. We had a great time visiting several of the local waterfalls and trails. We will definitely be back! Loved it!!

Great cabin, awesome location

Great location near Highlands but private mountain getaway. Loved the Highlands Hiker book owners left with great tips on nearby hikes. Jacuzzi and fire pit and great views! Awesome huge cabin with tons of games and ping pong table and foosball- we never ran out of things to do!

Best stay ever!

This was such a wonderful experience in an amazing house with incredible views. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. The house is nicely decorated and gives you the quintessential mountain experience. My kids didn’t run out of any activities and had a blast playing in the game room and outside. We will absolutely stay here again. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality!

Great place!

Cabin was great! Hands down the most well stocked VRBO rental I’ve ever seen. Owner was very responsive to any needs when we were there and checked in with us during the stay. Game room was great for the kids. It was just 4 of us so plenty of room to spare. Met all expectations and hope to come back some day.

Best vacation ever!

It was like going to a 5 star resort in the beautiful mountains. The cabin was gorgeous and fully stocked with everything you could ever need for a great vacation. Chef's kitchen with top of the line appliances, beautiful rock fireplace, very comfortable beds with all the linens, breathtaking views of the mountains. Very private and a great place to get away from it all without being too far from town. The owner was very easy to contact and attentive to needs. Will definitely come back.

Our family had a wonderful stay at hunter's lodge! Well equipped, just as good as the photos, and beautiful scenery all around. The one drawback was poor lighting, as many light bulbs were out (this happened in several rooms). There is excellent hiking in the area, gorgeous waterfalls along the road to town, and friendly businesses in highlands.

Paradise Found

Arrived late October for some COOL & COLOR and received both. House was perfect for us. Extremely well equipped mountain home with great views off expansive porch. DJ was very responsive to a minor issue we had getting it fixed within hours of our reporting. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Fabulous Property

We enjoyed every minute we were at Hunter's Lodge. It is a fantastic property. The view from the porch is amazing. What a perfect place to spend Thanksgiving and with the outdoor area it would be fantastic in the summer. The property is large so you never feel like anyone is nearby. Your kitchen is amazingly equipped. The only thing we felt missing were wine glasses, but that was no big deal. We could definitely tell, based on some of your decor, you must enjoy wine as much as we do. Thank you again for having such a wonderful home and sharing it with us. MHS

Weekend trip

Nice property about 5 miles from downtown highlands. With great views from huge deck and from bedroom balconies. Very clean. Bed upstairs was so comfortable, I complained when I got Home. WiFi can be a little spotty, but that’s part of the deal when you’re in the mountains.

Whimsical mountain cabin

We had a great stay at the cabin. The view was wonderful and it was very peaceful. My only suggestions would be the kitchen. It was lacking in dish soap and dishwasher detergent. Some of the cookware needed to be washed before use. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful mountain cabin

We absolutely loved this house. We had 4 adults and 4 1/2 kids. The children loved the bunk bed room. The other 2 rooms with queens were very comfortable, clean and had great views. The house was very well kept and fully stocked with everything we needed. The views were incredible. We cooked smores in the fire pit one night and the children loved it. About a 15-20 min very windy drive to Highlands, but worth it. I would definitely recommend this cabin to others and we will hopefully get to return ourselves!

Beautiful cabin, but hot tub did not heat up

The cabin was very nice, in fact in real life it still looked nicer than in the pictures. Foosball and ping pong table were great, too. Unfortunately, the hot tub did not heat up (and was too strongly chlorinated), which was a bummer, particularly after a day of rafting. Communication was friendly, but we would have liked to receive the check-in information a bit sooner. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would rent it again.

Idyllic

From the moment we rolled up to the front door of Hunter's Lodge, we knew we were in for a wonderful girl's weekend! Everything you have seen in the photos is accurately represented....only better. We all had our own bedrooms and bathrooms. Every creature comfort was addressed. However, as beautiful and comfortable the house was, we spent the majority of our time out on the back porch. We started in the morning with a cup of coffee and wound up the day looking at the stars. I can't wait to plan another trip to the Highlands and bring my husband. ***** for sure!!!!!

Rustic with great views

Beautiful setting, enjoyed our stay. Scenic drive into Highlands, only about 15 mins away. Plenty of parking space, great covered entry access for unloading and loading. Game room was fun with ping pong and foosball. Chess set and tic tac toe were also a hit. Mountain views and sunrises were awesome! Light snow on our drive up made for an exceptional wake up mountain view the next morning. Nice trail to hike right on property. DJ was very responsive and provided answers for all of our questions. Very quiet area and very relaxing. We had AWD with snow mode and had no issues navigating the driveway with light snow and ice. Indoor gas fireplace with switch to start was so easy and used it multiple times. Thanks for a nice long weekend!

Great house for family/group

We really enjoyed all that this house had to offer. The view is fantastic, and the setup of the house lends itself well to spending time together in shared spaces as well as having plenty ’s own. We had trouble with the hot tub not getting above 95 degrees, which was never resolved. There were also two non-working door knobs onto the porch, which limited porch access to one door. This seems like something the homeowner and guests would want to have fixEd asap. We would eagerly rent this house again if these issues were rectified. It is a lovely place.

Memories with kids

Our family takes a trip around Christmas every year. We have three children of various ages to try to entertain. I have been looking at this property for about two years and saved it on my iPhone bookmark. So thrilled that we were able to rent it! We had several challenges during our trip but truthfully the house pulled us through. You can’t predict the weather!!! Unfortunately several of the plans I had were impossible because of flooding rain. There were moments two of the days that we were able to enjoy the hot tub! Awesome!!!!! The kitchen is a nice surprise. I loved that it had quality knives and nice cookware and serving bowls, platters etc... I already knew it was beautiful from the pictures but I was thrilled how functional it was. Our family looks forward to returning to this property and enjoying all the parks and hiking trails that are available in the area. This is a wonderful home base for your family while on vacation.
