Bubbly was the cutest cottage. The space is well thought out and decorated well! The outdoor area is equally as well done! It is so close to town but you feel as if you are isolated. It’s the perfect spot! I wish we could’ve stayed longer but definitely hope to visit again!

Great location and great house for our first time to Highlands. The house was perfect. Best part of our stay might be the bear that visited us twice while sitting around the fire pit in the late afternoons. Very cool!

Beautiful home with all the conveniences. Loved the fire pit with the creek and waterfall in the backyard. The porch was awesome. Short 5 - 10 minute walk to downtown Highlands for shopping and restaurants. Property Manager was awesome. Everything was perfect for our trip. We hope to return again and again!

Two couples enjoyed our stay in this cute little cabin like home. Highlands weather in June is unbeatable! We slept comfortably with the windows open and enjoyed the sound of the creek and nature. The home had everything we needed and would stay again.

We had a lovely stay at this updated, clean and cozy home in Highlands. It was perfect for our annual fall break visit. The home is well appointed and we especially enjoyed the porch swings. You cannot beat the close location to walk to town but also several good hikes. We hope to stay again soon!
