About the host
Hosted by Jeanne Richard
I've owned rental properties including yearly rentals and vacation rentals for over 10 years. I live and work local and am very responsive to the needs of my guests in order to enjoy their stay, whether it's two days or long term.
Why they chose this property
This property is located in the first of three bays of Highland Lake, which offers a peaceful cove, beautiful views, swimming, boating, fishing and much more, and can be enjoyed throughout the year.
What makes this property unique
This is a cozy cottage located right on the water. You can receive a 25% discount off any rentals during your stay right down the street at The Marina at Highland Lake. You have the added benefit of myself and my husband owning and working close by should any issues arise or if you have questions to further enhance the enjoyment of your stay.
