Cozy, comfortable home
The hosts made the process so seamless and even accomodated and early xheck in request last minute. The home looks even better than shown in the pictures. It was so cozy, beautifully decorated and the indoor fireplace was our favorite. The short drive to town made the trip even better! We will definitely be coming back again, they literally thought of everything!

Great Cabin!
Our stay at this cabin was very comfortable, we loved the location near town and it was decorated very cute. It took a few times figuring out the entry pad, but after that it was fine. We were able to check in early which worked out well for our schedule. Would highly recommend this cabin!

Cozy Cottage
What a lovely cottage! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is decorated beautifully and reflects the vibe of Highlands. Chris and Joy really thought of everything when furnishing and stocking this fabulous home. Our visit was a rainy one so we stayed in relaxed and read in front of a warm fire. Delightful! We hope to return and enjoy the wonderful outdoor porches and fireplace!

Wonderful cabin, great location
This property is amazing! It's so cozy and VERY clean, beautifully decorated and you can tell so much time is placed into all of the details to assure a comfortable stay. The location is great - just a short drive to town where we enjoyed browsing the shops. We also enjoyed hiking and ziplining nearby. My husband enjoyed the outdoor space where he enjoyed relaxing watching sports on the outdoor tv by a fire. We will definitely be back to visit again!

We loved everything about your cottage. It was aesthetically designed & decorated beautifully. Very clean and comfortable. You put a lot of thought into making your guest feel welcome and it shows!

Can’t say enough about how great this property is. Front and back outdoor areas are awesome for hanging out and the home itself is updated and appointed to a tee. The entire house is stocked with everything you can possibly think of and the few questions we had were answered promptly. Will try and book this house every time we return!!

Quaint Cottage in the Woods
Interior and exterior amenities in this cozy cottage were perfect for my husband, son, and I to feel relaxed after each daylong adventure. The owners thought of every detail one may need or want in the mountains. Outdoor space was very comfortable and ideal for our teenage son to hangout. Bringing our family dog was an added bonus for family memories, as well. Highly recommend this cottage for those who appreciate interior design; one or two couples or single-child family fits nicely.

Fabulous Highlands Hideaway
This property is a wonderful retreat in the heart of Highlands. We’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and really appreciate how well-appointed this home was. The kitchen has everything you need, including a well-stocked pantry of essentials. The outdoor areas shine — we loved the covered porches and cozy fireplace. For those with dogs, this is a welcome change from sub-par listings; it is so rare to find pet-friendly options as nice as this. They are clearly dog lovers with thoughtful touches for your own pets available. Linens were quality/comfortable and plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Outstanding decor and overall, a place we would not hesitate to return to. Communications with owners was A+. Thank you!

Once again perfection!
This is our 2nd time at this adorable cottage and once again everything was perfect for a few days of rest and relaxation. They have gone over the top with details. We even commented how even the tissues were extra soft. Decorated to perfection, the beds are cozy, linens extra soft and fresh. The kitchen is very well stocked and they thought of every detail. Our favorite spot is on the back porch with a fire. The location is perfect. Close to town yet a quiet nice walking neighborhood that you feel like your in your own little retreat. The owners are so accommodating. We will most definitely be back!

A perfect getaway
We were so impressed by the detail that went into making this home such a perfect getaway for our family vacation. The house is so well appointed, decorated, clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. I loved the double fireplaces, the thoughtfully curated seating arrangements and design and the “extras” that were so well organized and easy to find. It truly felt like we were at our home away from home. Many nights we cancelled reservations and opted to stay in and grill on the patio family meal style! It was a refreshing and comfortable stay! Thanks to the wonderful hosts. 😊
