Cute Cute House!

Wow I don't know what was better, the location or the house. The house is so cute, clean and updated with a lot of natural light! The screened porch is perfect, not to mention you can hear the waterfall. Super close to downtown, we will definitely come back.

Exactly what we were looking for.

The property had an excellent flow, the size was right, and the environment was positive. Waterfall was a focal point of our visit. Morning coffee and evening wine. Very relaxing

Perfect place - beautiful views

Needed a place close to downtown for our family. We were in town for a family wedding. Wonderfall Cottage was perfect. Morning coffee at the waterfall watching the sun come up over the mountain was so beautiful. Communication with property manager and maintenance guy was easy and timely. The lavender pillow spray was a nice added touch. The town of Highland and Wonderfall Cottage are definitely a hidden gems. Thank you letting us stay.

Loved the Waterfall House

The house was beautiful and well appointed. Make sure if you book here you turn on the right when you see the sign for 189 the 185 sign is hidden on the right. It is one way coming in and out but we never encountered another vehicle. Very comfortable and I recommend buying the firewood. So cozy

It is a nice house.

It is a nice house. Access road is a bit hairy. Address not displayed on road. And no hangers. Alarm went off twice in the middle of the night and we had no idea how to shut it off.

Suggestions for additional items needed: * A rubber spatula for mixing * A few more bowls for mixing

Suggestions for additional items needed: * A rubber spatula for mixing * A few more bowls for mixing/food prep. This home is the perfect place to get away. The house/property was amazing. All of our expectations were met,,, and more!! Its very easy to access, close to downtown and easy to find. I would be very proud to own this little gem in the mountains. I WILL stay at this mountain retreat again! Everyone I spoke to was super friendly, helpful and anxious to help and assist. I was very impressed with the entire operation of your office.

One hiccup, otherwise a nice stay

PROS: 1) The view from the front porch is beautiful. 2) The waterfall is lovely to listen to from the screened-in porch and master bedroom. 3) The kitchen is nicely updated and well equipped. 4) The house lay-out is nice for a family. It has two bedrooms on one side of the living space and the master on the opposite side. CONS: 1) There is no cell service from this house. My husband and I have two different carriers - Verizon and AT&T and we had no bars with either. For some this might be a positive. 2) The water heater went out overnight and I called the maintenance person listed on the materials we were provided upon check-in. He said he would be out early to mid afternoon. He never showed. After a second call he came midday the following day. Not a huge inconvenience, but we did not get to shower before heading into town for dinner or the following morning. 3) The guest house is tiny and smells moldy. We had contemplated inviting another couple to join us, but glad we did not.

Wonderful House, June 2021

Upon arrival I thought the house was a bit "grimy." We have stayed in mt. homes before, beach bungalows in FL. condos, etc. I washed food off the white kitchen cabinets, washed down the stove as the top and handles were greasy, refrigerator, counter tops. We washed the entry way rugs as they were very soiled. The table top was an embarrassment to serve guests, so I bought an inexpensive table cloth. I found the placemats, but they had dried food and stains on them so I soaked them in dish soap and cleaned them. We cleaned cobwebs from window ceils and the screened porch. The carriage house is not fit for anyone to sleep in which makes it a 3 bedroom house than a 4 bedroom house. The mattress is uncomfortable and creaky, and the dampness and mold odor are very strong. The owners should put in a small dehumidifier and buy a new mattress. So we felt we were overcharged since it was a 3 bedroom not a 4 bedroom house. The guest who had planned to stay in the carriage house only used it for the bathroom. The location is great, and is literally 5 minutes from downtown. The dishes and kitchen equipment were great, the porch lovely, the waterfall exceptional. Nice spacious living room, excellent technology...but the power went out the first night and came back on at 3:00 AM and then went off again a couple of nights later. We finally got thru to the rental agent via text as the house phone didn't work due to the outage and she called the power company for us. She was helpful and offered our money back if we wanted to vacate the premises, but family had already planned vacation time off from work, so we couldn't do that. I don't think clients should have to go in and clean when renting.

We spent a girls weekend at this cottage and enjoyed it immensely. The location is quiet and beautiful, yet a close enough drive to downtown Highlands. The home was beautifully maintained and well stocked with everything we needed.
