About this house rental

Situated in Highlands, this lovely house for £457 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Roostica Cottage was recently featured in Cottage Journal magazine. But it’s not just good looking. Whether you crave outdoor activity, a low key retreat, or first class shopping and dining, Roostica offers it all. Renovated and designer appointed, our storybook cottage hosts a group as easily as a romantic getaway for two. The amenities begin outside where a circular driveway accommodates several cars. The garage offers a 240 volt outlet for electric vehicle charging and a flagstone walk provides easy access to the front door. The vaulted great room is just one step up. Here a large gas fireplace and designer decor welcome you in. Large windows provide wooded views of Lake Sequoyah, the biggest lake in Highlands. Prefer fresh air? Step into the adjacent screened-in veranda. Here, overstuffed wicker and a wood burning fireplace beckon, especially nice for winter days or cool summer nights. There’s also a daybed for napping, a table for alfresco dining, plus that wonderful wooded, water view. Back inside, the den offers a wood burning fireplace, WiFi, flatscreen TV with streaming and cable, and a fully equipped kitchen that opens into the living area (so the cook can be part of the fun). Keurig coffee makers in the kitchen and master bedroom offer starter pods and creamers. There is also a basket drip coffee maker and a french press if you prefer. You also have a choice of dining locations: sit 3 at the island, 4 on the veranda or 8 in the great room. Don’t feel like cooking? You can walk, or kayak, to the elegant “On the Veranda” restaurant—5 minutes on foot—or make reservations on Main St., a 4 minute drive. Finally, after a day of shopping, dining, exploring nearby waterfalls and other nature activities, retire to one of Roostica’s three bedrooms—all with private baths. The upstairs master offers a king bed with fireplace, sitting area, flatscreen TV, private coffee station and wooded, lake view. For those who appreciate easy access, two main floor suites—one with two twin beds, the other with a queen—await only one step up from the driveway. The lower floor offers cable TV, foosball, and other table games like ping pong. You’ll also find board games, books, puzzles, and more. With a twin size daybed and twin trundle that makes up into a king, plus the basement half bath (not yet renovated), this area is suited for young teens or children, with the added bonus of a full size washer and dryer for mom and dad. Outside, a path winds gently through the backyard & across the road to a private dock with kayaks. In warmer weather you also can fish, swim or just play in the water. Feel like cocooning? Log into Roostica’s internet, watch cable TV, or build a fire. Firewood is stacked next to the garage.

We stayed two weeks and most things about the house met our expectations. The glassware, especially wine glasses, need a major update. We had to add/change light bulbs in several places. The refrigerator had to be replaced during our stay—and the ice maker did not work after replacement. (owner responded quickly to replace refrigerator) The description of the downstairs, particularly the “half bath” was not what we expected. Overall, the house is very nice and well appointed.
