Perfect House
We stayed here with another couple for 3 nights. The house is simply perfect - it's walkable to downtown and to a hiking trail yet still quiet, it's nestled near a picturesque bubbling creek, it's beautifully decorated and has everything you need.

Beautiful cottage in perfect location
We loved this property! It is located only a couple of blocks from Main Street but has a very neighborhood feel and includes a private back yard with a fire pit next to Mill Creek. A very relaxing place to sit and enjoy the outdoors! The cottage has been fully updated and was very comfortable. The owner, Gabi, was very helpful and did a great job with communication.

Small but Amazing
Thought the home is smaller, it’s well-laid out floor plan offered privacy for all with generous seating in the TV room where everyone could fit for movie time! The bedrooms have window AC units but we didn’t need them. Great kitchen and how nice to have an extra powder room. Perfect location within walking distance to town, too! Owner was very responsive, too!

Relaxing visit
Two couples visited for our annual trip together. The house was beautiful, had everything we needed, and was clean and well organized. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting around the fire pit in the evenings and listening to the nearby creek. Enjoyed walking to restaurants and around downtown without needing our car. Also enjoyed driving to nearby waterfalls and hiking.

Amazing! Great couples trip!
This place was immaculate! The location was amazing (we walked to town!) and the design was beautiful. We were on a couples trip for a birthday weekend, and it was wonderful for that! The rooms were great and the living room was so comfortable. We loved the comfy couches and the breakfast nook for playing card games. I want to go back with the kids bc it would be a great place for a trip with our little ones! It was such a great spot and I know our kids would enjoy the creek in the backyard. The details that the host added were so thoughtful! We would totally stay here again.

My 3 girlfriends and I enjoyed a wonderful late winter / early spring weekend at this home. It is truly as pictured - lovely - and incredibly well apportioned and thoughtfully detailed. The location is perfect - close to everything and yet feels like it’s in the middle of the woods. The beds were heavenly. We are already planning our return trip!

Quiet, Peaceful, Perfectly Located
The house was absolutely stunning- perfectly decorated, fully equipped. It’s on a creek, which provides lovely sounds. The fire pit and outdoor area were wonderful, and we enjoyed sitting outside by the fire, listening to the creek. A very easy walk into town and to hiking spots, but also a very short drive to other hikes (Whiteside Mtn). We had a great time, and we’d absolutely stay again! Highly recommend Bubbly Cottage.

Perfect location for exploring Highlands!
I had a friend visiting me in Atlanta from Canada and we wanted to get away for the weekend. After booking spa appointments at the Old Edwards Inn, I looked for a cabin we could rent that wouldn’t require a 20-minute drive back and forth. This cabin is perfectly located just off of 4th Street. The pictures are an exact representation of the cabin - absolutely stunning. It was well appointed with everything we needed, down to dry wood to burn in the fireplace on a cold rainy night. Would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to be close to town while exploring Highlands. Gabi was super responsive and accommodating. A+ for this rental.

The home has beautiful, comfortable furnishings. We really love the location an easy three block walk to town. We enjoyed the walk. We also appreciated parking off street right by the front door.

Great stay at this cottage in highlands, excellent location, you could walk to the main drag, very well layed out house and the decor was amazing. My favorite part was the screened in porch, laying on the outdoor beds and listening to the river was priceless. Secondly the mattress in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable im a mastress snob so thats really saying alot, felt like a high quality memory foam.

Our friends and I could not have been more pleased with our stay in Highlands. The unit is exactly as described and is just as lovely as it appears in the photos. It was the perfect size for our group of four adults and had everything that we could have needed for our weekend stay. The location could not have been better, mere steps from downtown Highlands where one can enjoy an abundance of dining and food options. We will most certainly be planning a return trip to the Bubbly cottage.

Amazing Highlands Cottage
We stayed at The Bubbly for a weekend getaway and our stay far exceeded our expectations (which from the pictures, were fairly high). The cottage is perfectly located to downtown Highlands and yet, feels very secluded. The cottage itself is very clean, and very well decorated / appointed and was very comfortable. Lastly, our communication with Gabi was the best we've experienced. Simply - this was our favorite VRBO stay and on future trips to Highland, we will plan around its availability, as it was that good.
