Excellent place to stay!

This was the perfect place for our family to stay. The updates made to the cabin were really nice and made for a very comfortable stay. The proximity to downtown made for an easy walk. We will definitely be booking again in the future!

Great location and spacious house

We love the proximity to downtown as well as the greenway trails! Check in was super easy and house had everything we needed. Loved sitting on the deck - you feel like you’re in a tree house!

60th Birthday Weekend!

This was our first visit to Highlands and we loved it! The cabin was exactly as described. Great location, close to town but also felt like we were in the woods. Easy check in, and the house was immaculate. Comfy beds. We didn’t do any cooking on our 3 night stay, with so many great places to eat out, but the kitchen was well equipped.

Great for a small family

Great location. Loved being in town but also in the woods. Fit our small family well. Had everything we needed. The door at the top of the stairs locks so we were able to let our toddler walk around without worrying about him falling down the stair, which was great!

Weekend Getaway!

Loved our short stay in Highlands here. Such an easy walk to town, even with our stroller! The house was a classic cabin feel, and super clean. We loved the touch of the towels and even toilet paper tied into bows. It was perfect for our family of 3! I will say the stairs inside are a little steep, so just be aware of that. The bedrooms are on the basement level and the living is on the main level. We didn’t mind this at all. Would definitely recommend this place!

Best Host

I somehow booked for the wrong dates, and when I arrived to check in, there was already someone there at home. I called the host right away, as I was confused. She called me back promptly, understood my situation, and worked with me to find a solution. after about 30 minutes. she found a property that wasn't ready for checking, but she had her team go and get it ready, within 2-3 hours I had a place to stay for the weekend. and she didn't even charge me for my mistake. I would stay at one of her properties again. Not to mention that the house was clean, beautiful, and much bigger than I had booked originally.

Cabin in the woods feeling but minutes from Highlands. All modern appliances. Fans are modern and quiet. Lowest temp was 55 but heat barely came on so I suspect well insulated. New windows and appliances. We didn’t watch TV but very small TV. Good response from management when needed.
