Relax and unwind

The cottage is very cozy and yet very spacious. The bedrooms are large and have very comfortable beds and bedding. The patio has a large bbq, pizza oven and hot tub. The sauna in the basement heats up in 20 minutes and is easy to operate. Walking trails are plentiful and nearby. If you are looking to relax, rent this place.

Perfect

Of course! Here’s a polished VRBO review you can post:---We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Highland House in Meaford! Our group of six had plenty of space and every amenity we could possibly need — the hosts have truly thought of everything. The property itself is beautiful, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The welcome basket was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel immediately at home. Our host was extremely responsive, kind, and made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. If I could give 15/10 stars, I absolutely would. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing girls getaway

We just stayed for a 3 night weekend getaway to celebrate our friends 50th birthday. It was an amazing location. The home and grounds were so beautiful. The home had everything we needed for a relaxing time; catching up with and celebrating our friendship! From the hot tub, to the sauna, pizza in the outdoor pizza oven, games and reading by the fire, we could not have asked for a better place. Annette met us onsite, was very welcoming and gave a tour of the property. The owner David, was easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. Home was very clean and lots of towels were provided. Beds were comfy! We can not wait to return again and making it a yearly destination.

Amazing Getaway at Highland House

We spent a week with our family at Highland House. The home exceeded our expectations. The photos accurately depict the home. The house is situated in a secluded setting with beautiful gardens and a spacious lawn ideal for outdoor activities. The deck area includes an outdoor kitchen (with pizza oven), a large outdoor dining table, a sitting area, and a spacious hot tub. We appreciated making arrangements with the homeowner, who was quick to respond to any inquiries. I highly recommend this property!

Second Stay at Highland House

Our group of 7 were so happy to to be back at Highland House for another stay! Our host, David was there to welcome us and answer any questions. He gave us some tips on the pizza oven which resulted in amazing, delicious pizza our first night. The log home is beautifully decorated and cozy, all beds are very comfortable and the property, inside and out, was clean and well maintained. What an amazing property to reconnect with great friends over delicious food, good wine and lots of laughter! Thank you David for sharing Highland House with us. antable

Weekend Getaway

My sister and our partners found the Highland House and it was the perfect location and retreat for a weekend away. The house is cozy and has everything you need. We took advantage of the sauna and hot tub. We were greeted by the property manager and she showed us around the house and was great with our dogs. A very thoughtful welcome basket was waiting for us full of local eats and beverages. This house has everything you need to have the best time away!

Amazing Place and Host

The Highland House is an amazing home and property. It has all that you need and more, with plenty of room. The extra amenities such as the Hot Tub, Outdoor Kitchen and Pizza Oven puts this accommodation over the top. The house and property is well maintained. You can tell the owner (David) is very proud of his property. David is amazing...very responsive, friendly and conversive. Any issues we may have had were addressed immediately with follow-up to ensure we were happy. This was our 4th year staying at the Highland House for our annual Golf Tournament and we plan to be back again next year. Thank you David for being such a great host!

Idyllic Winter Retreat

Family comprising 3 couples had a wonderful relaxing stay at this beautiful retreat amid the snow and trees with Georgian Bay visible in the distance. Romping in the snow with the dog was unbeatable. Soaking in the spacious hot tub while the snow was all around us was a delight. Well-equipped kitchen made meal preparation a treat. Two large spaces for reading, relaxing, games, and fabulous spa with two-person shower and sauna all lent themselves so well to relaxing. We all enjoyed our stay very much. Communication with David, Pauline and Annette was fabulous - they are wonderful hosts.

Wonderful Property!

Our family recently returned from a 5 night stay at Highland House. The property is so private and peaceful and very well cared for. One of my favourite spots was the comfy front porch chair with a tea that looked out onto the beautiful and quiet grounds. The house was a perfect size for our extended family of eight. A lovely, cozy log cabin feel. We loved all the amenities the owner has provided - the great pizza oven, outdoor kitchen, sauna, hot tub, fire pit and more! Everything you need is there….even the many boardgames for a rainy afternoon. David is a very responsive host and Annette was so helpful when we arrived. Great location and wonderful property to visit! Looking forward to visiting again! Thanks for sharing your Highland House with us!

Lovely week break with family.

Lovely place. Sauna and hot tub were great. Very responsive host - mase us feel like "first guests". Provided a lovely gift as we were there on our Anniversary. Lovely yard and deck - dogs loved the space to run around. Freat quality grill. Fun selection of lawn games, and the fire pit was great. Could use a dish rack and another.frying pan, otherwise very well equipped. Location was good, lots to do within an hour or so drive. Even on the the heavy rain day it was really nice to just hang out on the verandah and play some games.

Gentlemens Golf Weekend

After many year's of organizing my group's annual golf weekend, this place is far and away the best place that we have ever stayed at. The weather wasn't great but thank God we had this beautiful house to call home for the weekend. This place is both comfort and luxury all in one! No need to bring anything other than food. Hot tub,sauna,outside pizza oven and huge BBQ. Internet, Large main floor TV and a even bigger downstairs TV make this place outstanding. Large bedrooms and nice bedding make this place top notch! Thanks David for the great communication during the whole process and to Annette for the great check in tutorial! We will definately be back. Brian Gooding Sr. B Baseball Alumni

Wonderful family winter getaway!

We just returned from a wonderful family weekend at the beautiful Highland House just north of Owen Sound. It was a winter wonderland at this beautiful log cabin home, beautifully decorated and outfitted for a relaxing and very special weekend. The 4 large bedrooms upstairs were more than comfy for our family of 8 and the hit tub and sauna extra bonuses. The large very well outfitted kitchen had everying we needed for great family meals and the outdoor pizza oven was fantastic! We had wonderful walks on and around the property and great cross country ski outings to a nearby conservation area and to the groomed trails at Massie Hills. Our host was so friendly, communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. A warm personal welcome and generous gift basket started off the weekend. Thank you for helping us create wonderful family memories...the best rental experience...we will be back!!

Amazing Girls Getaway Weekend!

Our hosts were prompt and patiently responsive to all our questions. It was obvious that they took great care and pride in Highland House. On arrival the property manager, Annette, welcomed us with a tour of the house and necessary information. We found this really helpful. Everything about the property was immaculate, in good working order and the kitchen (indoor and out) was well equipped. All the beds were very comfortable! Our hosts had thought of many extra touches that were very appreciated; linens were high quality, so many thick towels supplied and cosy throws to wrap in on the cool mornings enjoying our coffee on the front veranda. Even a thoughtful welcome basket was waiting for us on the kitchen counter! We will definitely be back!
