Great family weekend

We loved the coziness and convenience of this cabin, but what ultimately sold our children was the amazing creekside area! They played for hours.

Cute cabin within walking distance of downtown. We especially enjoyed the screened porch on the back, where we could sit, see the leaves, and listen to the creek in the back. Would definitely recommend.

Great locations for girls weekend

My sisters and I stayed here for a girls weekend. We loved walking in and having the lights on, and everything looked very clean and welcoming. It rained a lot during our weekend so we did not attempt to walk to town, but I think it would be walkable if you have the right shoes. In between rain showers, we did use the hot tub and it worked very well. Even though there are houses on either side, this property feels very private. We enjoyed photographing nature down by the creek, but we did not get to use the fire pit. The decor is very nice and we enjoyed the screened porch so we could be outside even when it was raining. Everything we needed, we found in the house. Very well stocked. Communication with the rental company was easy, they texted and were very responsive,

Best Highlands location ever!

This cottage is in an amazing location. It is only a very short walk to town and restaurants, but you feel like you are in the woods when you are at the cottage. The cottage is exactly as advertised. It is wonderfully stocked and very nicely furnished. Both master baths are very nice. The kitchen is more spacious than most, and the house appears to have been renovated in the not-too-distant past. he screened in deck is amazing, we enjoyed the spa, and adjacent creek adds to the ambiance. There are also hiking trails nearby -- you can take an easy hike all the way to Mirror lake. We have been to Highlands many times, and this is clearly our favorite location.

Mill creek Ln. Highlands

The cabin was nice and spacious. I appreciate that some of the basics - paper towels, coffee, spices, etc. we’re there. The fire pit my the stream was nice. It is a longer walk to town than I thought, and sidewalks were not always there. The cabin was clean but the ceiling fans were very dirty. My daughters got in the hot tub last night and said it was disgusting and ran for the shower.

We rented this cottage for three couples for our friends wedding. It exceeded expectations!
