About this property

Cabin Bascom - Walk to town, tankless hot water heater and new central HVAC!

Cabin Bascom - New openings, book now!

Located less than 1/2 mile to downtown Highlands, we invite you to experience our quaint retreat at the head of the Greenway Trail and steps away from the Bascom Arts Center.

This thoughtfully renovated 2 bedroom/2 bath cabin features a designer kitchen fitted with granite, walnut, and stainless steel. The open floor plan encourages great times with family, friends or that special someone.

A well appointed master suite is centered around an impressive double sided, tumbled marble fireplace... perfect for a cozy read in the five foot bay window, a relaxing jacuzzi bath, or a restful sleep on the king sized be...we say the most romantic suite in Highlands, despite the flat screen! The guest room wears red well with double bed, TV/DVD and is paired with its own bath containing a slate walk-in shower.

Hardwood floors and pickled spruce shiplap walls throughout, stacked stone fireplace and 48 inch flat panel TV in the living area. The vibe is light, open and airy yet the cabin is filled with eclectic furnishings and purposeful art.

While surrounded by all that the interior offers, you are beckoned outside to a peaceful playground. Sip your morning beverage at the cafe table on the deck while watching the birds and ever unfolding garden. Enjoy a Highlands afternoon or evening on the lower deck around the outdoor firepit.

Tear yourself away from Cabin Bascom and enjoy all the conveniently located world class amenities that the Highland area has to offer.

Please inquire about other Highland's properties, The Roost & Foxdale Cottage at Mirror Lake.

Visiting for a wedding

Location was great- not right in town but close enough we could have walked to town via trails near our VRBO. The cottage was cute, big enough for our needs and was everything we wanted! We would definitely stay here again!

Cabin in the hills

great location for hikers since Mill creek trails are across the street. Unless you are in good condition walking to town difficult because of hill.

Cute and cozy

Great cozy spot for a couple- not sure we could fit 4, we needed the second bedroom for a dressing area- but a very good and affordable option for 2. Technically walkable to town, but we didn’t. Very accessible to walking trails and the arts center. Very nice kitchen and living area. Would recommend!

Lovely time of year

Our favorite little cabin in Highlands is very comfortable and very close to downtown. It was a lovely time of year where we could enjoy the rides to different areas and enjoy the fall foliage.

Great location

We felt very comfortable and safe. The property is near town but isolated enough that you are not disturbed by all the hustle and bustle of town. Tv reception is not great but we spent very little time inside. Perfect for us!

Adorable Little Cabin

Adorable little cabin is an 11 minute walk to Main St, in a quiet neighborhood. It included everything we needed, except toiletries (I always bring my own anyway so it was no problem). We were disappointed that a recent storm had knocked out the living room fireplace and TV and could not be restored during our stay. We loved the sound of the rain on the metal roof.

Quiet retreat

This cute cabin is tucked in the trees a few blocks off the main street. We enjoyed the quiet and peacefulness. I loved the big soaking tub and wished it was cool enough for the gas logs that separate the bedroom from the tub. I baked a cake while I was there and had everything I needed for measuring ingredients, etc. If I visit Highlands again, I would definitely try to get the same house.

Cramped not cozy

Parking space is small, just off the street with cars passing next to our car. Steep, short, awkward entry; dangerous when wet - which it often is in Highlands. Wedged into the corner of two roads. Dresser drawers fall out when opened. Poor lighting. Lower garden level covered in litter. Grill was covered but leaf litter all over it too. To the good: nice appliances, dishes, glassware and knives in the kitchen.

Okay....

House was near a sewer plant that smelled so we could not leave doors open. Workers were constantly grinding and neighbors constantly blowing leaves at all hours of the day, so no sleeping in or taking afternoon naps. Hall bath sink leaked so we had to share master sink. Master Bedroom tv cable not connected.

Wedding in the Highlands

Spent 3 nights here with our family while we attended wedding festivities in the Highlands. The cottage was perfectly located near everything. It was well appointed, clean and homey. It was the perfect alternative to staying in a hotel for our family. It was absolutely gorgeous, and we hope to make it back again in the future to continue exploring. The host was extremely responsive and takes great care of the property. We are grateful we had the opportunity to stay there.
