Precious lil cabin in great proximity to town

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.

The location of this property in Highlands is great and very convenient, however, the pics on the property page are not accurate. With the owner having a store less than three minutes from the property and guests arriving, you would think the exterior would be inviting and clean, which was not the case. Leaves were were so thick in front of the door we had to use our feet to clear them from blowing inside. Once inside we discovered two sliding glass doors that did not lock at all but had a block of wood in the rail, which was about four inches too short in both so a person could reach into the room through the door. Additionally, the second bedroom was not pictured on the site, and when we opened the door it was terrible. In the corner was a washer/dryer with a curtain rod going all the way across the room. The lamp was sitting on a bar stool. No drapes on the front door or master bathroom by the toilet/shower area. With construction going on across the street and uphill from the location workers could see straight into our place which made my wife very uncomfortable. Needless to say, we ended up improvising and put black garbage bags over the windows with paint tape. We ended up leaving a day early as it was not a great place to stay. Also, as you have two gas fireplaces, you need to have a carbon detection alarm in place which resulted in our not using them. Nice location but it could be a lot better. Shame on you VRBO for allowing places to be presented in a manner they are not. You need to have EVERY room shown when looking at a property.

Great location. Very close to downtown. I'm looking forward to staying here again.

Lovely accommodations. Was hoping the trail to town would be easier-but definitely not for girls in cute shoes! Still a close drive. Very cozy.

Lovely cabin and terrific location for a Highlands getaway.

Exceeded our expectations. Was the perfect place to stay for the long weekend. Would definitely stay here again!

Everything was great. Communication and Check in was excellent. The place was perfect for us. Great location to everything we wanted to see and do, and the trail to town was fun. Thanks for a great time

Cute little place close to town. We walked the trail through the woods several times which was just beautiful. There is a mountain creek close by and along the hike to the town which we both loved. We were hoping to do some work from the house but internet was very slow, so we needed to find other alternatives.

Great location and cute clean house. Walked to dinner a few times and hiked trail by side door. Thank you!

This was our third time staying at the cabin. We especially love the fire pit and we’re able to spend a couple of nights by it roasting marshmallows and making s’mores and having hot chocolate and wine. The cabin is clean and comfortable and was well equipped with all that we needed. We will definitely be back!!!!

We loved our stay in this lovely cottage and hope to come back sometime before too long. Thanks for everything.

We rented the house over the holidays and it was a perfect house in a great location. Very close to town but tucked away in a neighborhood close to the greenway, it was quiet and comfortable. We could walk into town easily and also walk through the neighborhood for exercise and fresh air. The house was very cozy. It was right size for our family. One teenager slept in the second bedroom and the other one slept on the couch and was comfortable. I would recommend this house for a family or close friends. The master bedroom has a bathroom attached that has a fireplace between the bedroom and bathroom that you can see through, so just be aware of this if two people are sharing the master bedroom. This was not a problem for us.

The property was very cute. The weather was not good but it didn’t matter because we had two fireplaces that we used on a regular basis. It was the perfect size! So much better than staying in a hotel room for a few days.

Overall the property was as expected with a couple of notable exceptions. IMO most people would enjoy staying here should give it serious consideration. The cottage on the inside was well appointed with a number of upgrades in decor, comfort and amenities. Examples: the king size bed in master suite was extremely comfortable with plush pillows, sheets and comforter: the gas fireplaces were easy to use and provided the right atmosphere for a cabin in the woods; the hot water was quick to get and plentiful making the jacuzzi tub in the master bath great for two even being very deep for soaking; there were numerous quality decorator pieces throughout; the kitchen was complete with fridge, oven/stove, microwave, disposal, dishwasher, etc. all working as they should; woodwork throughout the cabin on floors, walls, and ceilings with solid wood panel doors; there were more than adequate dishes, glasses, pots, pans, as well as towels and bath linens; very easy/doable walk to town using the Green Way or streets. However, there were some flaws that need to be corrected. While there were 3 TVs none of them had High Definition that we could find of any channels. Unless we are wrong and it was our fault all TVs need to be replaced with larger more up to date models with high def cable. While there was more than adequate light fixtures there were 4 light bulbs that did not work and were in critical places for close up work such as reading. Maids should have caught this and replaced bulbs or notified owner to replace. The outside landscaping needs a major overhaul with some of the design features such as the green gate and benches being dilapidated. Finally it needs to be noted that a cabin directly across the narrow lane is being renovated with outside machinery being used as well all wood prep work being done outside with hammering, sawing, etc. occurring on the front porch. While the owner can’t control other people renovating their properties we should have been alerted that this work was being done so that we could determine if we wanted to rent the property. It has been noted in other reviews that during leaf falling time that some neighbors blow their yards making noise. We expected this but did not expect one neighbor who blew leaves for two solid hours on a few days. The real problem was that he was not just blowing his yard but the streets in all directions!

The property is a very nice property. It needs window coverings on some of the windows for privacy. There was no dish soap, paper towels, hand soap in the kitchen, no bath soap or shampoo.

Cozy cottage with easy access to town. Very quiet.

We had a great time after a tough time accessing the property: being hung up on by Daniel at VRBO after a 1/2 hour, not having the necessary information required for check in, and a lack of proper/correct information on VRBO’s part. When all was said and done, the property owner was more than helpful and checked on us to be sure everything was to our liking. It was and more. The cabin was cozy and well located. We were very pleased with the outcome and would recommend it to others.

Great comfortable stay. Close to downtown and several fun walking paths through the woods. We will be going back!
