The check-in process was super easy. We booked at the last minute, and the host got back to us right away with a confirmation and really clear instructions. The house was spotless and super comfortable, and the property itself is absolutely gorgeous. It’s only a quick, easy drive into Highlands, but far enough away that you really feel like you’re tucked into the woods. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Great house - very close to town but felt like a cabin in the woods - would definitely rent again!

THERE IS NO AC! The listing did not say there was, our error in not looking closely. It is sufficiently hot in highlands in August, we will not rent again in Highlands without AC. The rental is a pleasant walk (but long at 1.8 miles) to downtown Highlands, or a really short and easy drive. The yard is large, relatively flat, great for dogs, plenty of parking. Also, a nice fire pit with firewood and comfortable chairs. The house is small, barely OK for us as a couple, maybe OK for a couple with young kids, too cozy for 2 couples as 2nd bedroom is very small. While there are nice outdoor spaces, none are covered, and the outdoor furnishings are spartan. The management was unhelpful on a request for a 2-hour early check-in (house was not rented the day before), or providing kitchen items that you would expect in a rental. There was one coffee mug (and a couple of huge mugs that you might use for soup), the toaster did not work properly, no cushions for outside iron chairs. We made the management company aware of these things early in the rental, they chose not to address them. No one of these things are terrible, but put them all together and it diminishes the experience. The furnishings and appointments in the house (dishes, pots, pans, etc.) are minimal, kind of like a college apartment. Would not stay here again.
Newly renovated! Relax with the whole family. Peace, privacy, and proximity to the outdoors, world-class shopping, and dining await at this charming Highlands vacation rental in the Mirror Lake neighborhood. Relax in the renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath living space or step outside to fire up the grill and fire pit for a BBQ. Head about 1 mile into town via the Highlands Greenway and explore local restaurants, shops, and entertainment. A unique landscape of waterfalls, trails, and mountain peaks.
We welcome well-behaved pets (2 dogs maximum)! VRBO does not collect the pet fee at the time of booking, therefore, please plan to pay the $125 pet fee/stay when you sign the Rental Agreement after booking.
Covered parking for 1 car, space for 3 cars.
