"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."

"What a lovely Chalet! This was a perfect spot for a little get away for the weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and all of the outside lounging areas. There were only two of us, so as far as the beds go I can only comment on the mater bed. Slept great and was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed for grilling out on the gas grill. What a great place in a convenient location. Would highly recommend! Thanks Missy for sharing your quaint...

"This is a lovely home located in a very quiet neighborhood! It was the perfect getaway for our family! The house was beautifully decorated and a comfortable size- not too big, not too small. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and dreary/windy during our stay, otherwise we would have really enjoyed the amazing porches. We're already excited to come back in the summer when it is warm so we can take advantage of the nice outdoor space! Thank you!"

"The cabin was spotless and was decorated nicely with an original theme related to Honeybees. The area was in a peaceful neighborhood and the new back porch addition was a plus for the house. We spent lots of time sitting and looking at the great view. The owners put a lot of thought into making this cabin (inside and out) a peaceful retreat for us."

Mirror Lake Cabin ~ 1 Mi to Dtwn Highlands!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (19)
"For winter, we had some good weather. Still too cold to hang out on the outside porch which is the best place to hang. I don't know if it's a good idea, but I would suggest an outdoor heater that way you could hang out on the outside porch more in the winter. One of the outdoor path lights was out so I recommend fixing that. But those are both just being picky. Overall the place is a great value and well maintained. And the mountain air is so clean and the water falls are so close."

"The house is cozy, warm and nice. Very comfortable for the two of us. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom closest to the hot tub which made our weekend. Check-in couldn't be any easier. If I had to pick on something, it would be the tight parking for a full size truck. I would stay again the next time we visit Highlands."

It’s odd to say but they supply the “right” amount of things without stuffing the house with too much stuff. We were looking forward to the amazing outdoor space and fire pit but unfortunately we were there during the...

Charming 3/2.5 Cottage in Mirror Lake Near Downtown!!!
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (83)
"This mountain home was perfect for our girls weekend in Highlands! There was a twin bed pictured in the listing, that was not there when we arrived, but we worked it out. There was dust/cobwebs in some areas, and trash left on the beams in the living room, but overall it was clean and felt very safe. The kitchen was a little small, depending on the size of your party, but this was a perfect place to stay if you are planning to be out and about. Downtown was only a 5 minute drive!"

"Highlander Mountain House in the Blue Ridge mountains is just divine! The design and decor are so charming, from the cozy rooms to the lovely common areas. I can't get enough of the warm ambiance throughout the property. And let's talk about the location – being near downtown Highlands is such a bonus, with easy access to trails and activities. But the real star of the show? The restaurant! It's hands down the best part, serving up delicious meals in a cozy setting. Whether I'm traveling with...
