The location was great and check in/check out was seamless. The house however had a damp odor, know that itâs on the water and the air wasnât on when we got there, we thought the AC would help. After the first night the dampness was bothering my husbandâs
This cabin was exactly what we were looking for in a quick weekend trip. It was exactly as described on a relaxing portion of Mirror Lake. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and conveniently located to downtown Highlands and multiples hiking trails. We enjoyed our stay!
This little cabin is older with a nice bedroom that is a new addition. The interior has several steps so be aware of that. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The location was super. Thanks so much!!
We love Highlands, and this location was perfect. Close enough to town, but distant enough to get away from the crowds. It's a bit worn inside, but that lends to the woodsy mountainy vibe we were looking for. Would stay again!
We had a great stay from Thursday through Monday. The landlord originally allowed us to extend our days from Sunday to Monday while the guest house is small and only has a queen bed. It has a pretty outdoors, a grill and the serene calmness of mirror Lake. The standup shower and two doors are tight in the bathroom, but this is a value stay.
This is a fabulous little home only 1.2 miles from downtown Highlands. It was easy to find and easy to commute to downtown. The cabin was clean and fully stocked.
Great weekend getaway for my wife and me. This was our first trip to Highlands and Mirror Lake was the perfect placeâpeaceful, plenty of room, everything we needed, and really close to the village and hiking spots. We look forward to being back soon.
Great place for us. Location was perfect. Quiet and peaceful. One little glitch with lock and it was taken care of quickly. Would definitely recommend to friends.
The house was clean and the process was simple, but it wasnât quite what it is portrayed as being. Itâs an old house and smells musty, itâs right off a main road, and itâs not like youâre opening your back door to the lake bc you have to walk around the house but itâs not a very natural walk. It is very close to downtown which is fantastic and it was quiet. The bedroom was great as itâs a newer add on. Overall we had a nice time, just not totally what I was expecting.
Clean, comfortable, and well equipped. It worked! I wish the property was truly walkable into town, however, itâs not worth risking your life walking on that narrow, busy road with no sidewalk. Yet it is just a few minutes drive into Highlands, A special note should be made that the bed is only a full which is quite a bit smaller than the king or queen many are used to.
Used the cottage as a base to go waterfall chasing for our 45th anniversary. We lucked out that it also happened to be near prime leaf peeping while we we there. The cottage is charming and rustic, and less than 5 min to the town of Highlands. There are many good restaurants, shops and activities to do in the area. The cottage has a comfortable queen sized bed, Tv, wifi, and a fully equipped kitchen. If needed, there is a washer and dryer. The back of the cottage sits directly on Mirror Lake by the dam. Despite being close to the road, it is very quiet, and convenient to everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay again.
We drove 3.5 hours only to open the door to a dirty uncleared unprepared cottage. Dirty dishes, diapers, pots on the stove, bed messed up, not vacuumed etc. We reached out to the property manager with no luck so we left and drove 3.5 hours back home. We contacted VRBO and finally the manager and are hoping to get a refund. However we lost a vacation and drove 7 hours for absolutely nothing.
Horrible smell as you entered, must have been pesticides. Killed 5 large black ants in bathroom and several spiders in dining room. Have two welps on cheek from bites during the night. Would absolutely not ever stay here again. Luckily we never cooked or ate there. Bed so uncomfortable neither of us got any sleep. Mattress lumpy and pillows smelled. The one bright spot was the washer dryer which worked well.
The steps entering the house can be dangerous, especially when loading luggage in and out. Also the step going from living room to kitchen is fairly high and I almost fell once.
The gas lighting wood burning fireplace has no instructions, and could be dangerous without knowing how to use it properly.
There is only one smoke detector which is located in the bedroom. No carbon monoxide detector.
Why would anyone put a full glass door in the bathroom? The bamboo shade doesn't help much for privacy!
The TV was hard to figure out, and apparently there are no live local programming. We were watching a movie that was interrupted by a message "please connect to internet", at which time it went black.
The only pluses were the bed was comfortable, the place was clean and the location is convenient.
Maybe younger people would enjoy this more, but for us, we won't be returning
Nice accommodations for our anniversary trip. Was able to access lake to paddleboard which was great and really close to downtown highlands. You canât walk there but itâs a 2 min drive.
Only reason itâs not 5 stars is thereâs definitely some moisture in the place which caused a lot of allergy symptoms for me during our stay.
My wife and I stayed here for our 20 year anniversary. It was great. Mirror lake is right off the back deck and is so peaceful. Itâs also located close to some great trails and waterfalls. Downtown is only a mile away with some great restaurants. We would stay again for sure.
Great location near town and with a view of Mirror Lake. Very comfortable and had everything we needed for a brief stay with a lot of coming and going. The floor plan is unusual, in that you have to walk through the restroom to get to the bedroom, but this wasnât an issue for us. The den is a cozy place for morning coffee.
We loved our time here in this property! Very clean, comfortable bed, stocked with all the amenities you would need. It felt like a cozy cabin with gorgeous trees surrounding, yet close to everything.
The view from the bedroom overlooking the lake is beautiful. This cottage is perfect for a couple or someone solo. We were visiting Highlands when the temperatures dropped and the heat worked great in the cottage. The location is fantastic, about a 3 minute drive to the main streets. We would recommend this rental to anyone looking in the area for a nice, cozy, and convenient place to stay!
