Cozy Yet Modern Cottage. Pet Friendly. 1.3 Miles to Town. Mountain Views.

Close to town. Perfect for couples or families. Almost like two homes in one. The main level offers a living area with gas fireplace, flat screen TV, well appointed kitchen, covered porch, 2 bedrooms both with queen sized beds and a newly renovated full bath. Enjoy your morning coffee on the expansive lower level deck or relax with a glass of wine after a day of hiking or exploring Highlands. Take a walk down to the lake and find the Highlands Greenway trail that takes you into town. The lower level has a renovated master bedroom with gorgeous en suite bath and queen sized bed. An additional bedroom on the lower level includes a double bed and has an adjacent full bath. Log into your Netflix or Amazon Prime account and enjoy a movie night in front of the fire in the lower level living area or cozy up by the fire pit off of the deck on cool evenings. Motion sensor security cameras on property. Exterior of house only.

We had a wonderful time in Highlands and the property was perfect for us. There were four and each of us had a bedroom. The proximity to town is excellent, the neighborhood is quiet and lovely, and the property is in excellent condition, nicely decorated. Our host, Caroline, was very responsive to a couple of questions. We hope to be back and I highly recommend this property!

We had a great stay for the weekend, plenty of room, terrific views and walkable to town via Oak Lane Trail. Owner very communicative and plenty of room for the 6 of us. Can’t wait to come back, so much more to do and see and sitting on the back porch was idyllic.

An excellent property with plenty of room and an awesome layout. We enjoyed sitting around the kitchen island having dinner. Having morning coffee on the lower deck as the sun came up was very relaxing. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants a great place to stay that is also close to restaurants and shopping in Highlands.

We had a great time in Highlands in this nice/quaint home just 5 minutes from Main St. This house is very comfy and cozy with 2 indoor fireplaces and a fire pit outside. 2 bedrooms on the main upper floor and 2 bedrooms on the lower floor. Nice updated decor and nice outdoor porch furniture. Kitchen is updated and has everything you need, although a little small for a large group but perfect for 4-6 people. Caroline, the host is great to work with and very communicative. She checked in on day one to make sure everything was ok. We would highly recommend this home when visiting beautiful Highlands. Also highly recommend The Stubborn Bull and Four65 Woodfire Bistro + Bar for great food and atmosphere.

Very well kept. Close to to town. Less than a mile from On The Verandah restaurant , which had great food , and, of course, not far to downtown Highlands the street light at the edge of the driveway and road was very handy late at night, because it gets dark in those mountains.
