Beautiful little cottage!

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay in this comfortable, beautifully decorated cabin style cottage tucked in the trees. Super private while in a lovely neighborhood. Everything we needed including a guide to waterfall and mountain hikes which were very convenient to our location. Such a central spot close to downtown and restaurants. We hope to come back soon and would absolutely stay here again.

Comfy, cozy cabin!

We had a lovely stay at this Mirror Lake cabin. The screened porch is definitely the best part with comfortable furniture and a lovely view. The cabin is well furnished with everything we needed. The location is great in a quiet neighborhood but also close to town.

Accommodations were great cozy and comfortable enjoyed the large screen in front porch and wood burning fire place yet finding the house itself was difficult due to the overgrown bushes next to driveway to see house numbers also finding & getting to the entrance door

Nice, cozy cottage in the woods. Great location.

Like everyone else, the porch is the highlight of this property, though the living room with wood burning fireplace would have been nice in colder weather. There are only three reasons I didn’t give 5s across the board. (1) there is no closet in one room, no dresser in the other. This works for two people on a short stay but would have been miserable for two couples. (2) it is dark in the kitchen. No lights over the stove so I had to use a flashlight to see how to cook. (3) on VRBO I was quoted one price. I expected tax and maybe cleaning charge in addition but by the time all of the fees were added, it came to almost 60% more. I’m not disappointed with the value at that price but felt “nickeled and dimed.”

Unique Cabin Close to Town

My husband & I were in town for a festival with our 10 month old. This house was so unique! We loved the big front porch and the quiet neighborhood setting. Drive to town is easy & quick. For our family of 3, we would absolutely stay again.

Mountain Air and Waterfalls

For winter, we had some good weather. Still too cold to hang out on the outside porch which is the best place to hang. I don't know if it's a good idea, but I would suggest an outdoor heater that way you could hang out on the outside porch more in the winter. One of the outdoor path lights was out so I recommend fixing that. But those are both just being picky. Overall the place is a great value and well maintained. And the mountain air is so clean and the water falls are so close.

New Years Getaway

This cabin was the perfect size for our 4 person family (kids ages 12 and 15). The beds were very comfortable in both rooms, blackout curtains in rooms kept sunlight out for us to sleep in, fireplace was fully stocked with needed tools, and front patio would have been amazing to use if it wasn’t below freezing. Kitchen had some updated items (coffee maker, fridge) but rest of things were very “loved.” Location to town was close but I wouldn’t say “walking distance” unless you want to walk on narrow roads with traffic. Overall a fabulous place to stay!!!

Highlands Cabin

The cabin was everything we had hoped—charming, rustic, clean and very comfortable with higher end fixtures in the primary bathroom and very comfortable king bed. The weather was lovely so we were able to take advantage of the screened-in porch. Fun restaurants in downtown Highlands, which was only a 5 minute drive, and easy drives to many trailheads.
