Cozy home in the mountains
The small house was lovely and thoughtfully, though minimally, furnished. Once inside we were most comfortable. Alas, access to the property was difficult. Parking was tough. We felt confined to the house at night because of access. In addition to many steps to the house, parking our Outback was a challenge due to drop offs and lack of space.

Mother Daughter Trip
This was a mother (age 55), daughter (age 24) weekend. We had planned plenty of hiking for the three days and not a lot of time at home hanging out. I read the reviews about the road noise and was surprised that it was as bad as it was. Again, we didn't plan on hanging out at the house during the day, but if we had chosen to sit on the deck and read a book, it would have been a big distraction. The home smelled a bit musty/damp but after being inside for a while, we became accustomed to it. The bathrooms were very nice.

Fun, relaxing weekend with friends
What a great weekend. Everything was perfect. House was clean. Well decorated. Had all the “extras” we needed. Close to town. And the back deck/fire pit were both perfect! Waking up to mid 60s in July was such a relief. Loved every bit of this weekend trip with our friends. Many thanks to Holly for high level of communication and response.

Everything is included
The owners thought of everything! The home is beautifully decorated, well apportioned, and close to town. The owner was very responsive with any and all inquiries both before and during the stay. Our only disappointment was that it was wet and rainy throughout our visit precluding us from using the fire pit, which was a huge selling feature for us. The only other thing I would say is parking is challenging both above and below the house (the house is situated on a hillside) and traversing the stairs to/from the house with your belongings (especially when wet) can be challenging, again due to the hillside location.

Perfect for a weekend getaway
Mountain Laurel was the perfect home for our weekend getaway! Well stocked, beautiful interior design, and good space both indoors and outside. We didn’t have time to take advantage of the fire pit, but the back porch was perfect to enjoy the mountain air and read. Would absolutely return again! One note: there are many stairs to the parking, so I recognize some guests would find the home difficult to navigate. Parking is also a little difficult with two cars in the dark. We had to do multi-point turns to get our cars situated and out of the road, without much light to guide where the road drops off. With a little more guiding light and reflectors to indicate parking spots, parking would’ve been perfect.

Our Stay
Beautiful and adorable home. Only concern was parking and getting in/out of the actual house was difficult, especially for my Mom (72yrs old). Otherwise, great experience!

Love the Highlands, House OK
Our impression of the house from the pictures online was quite different from what we found. The house is cute but we were expecting a larger place that would be a bit more comfortable for older, but fit, adults. The house is close to the town but it is not a walkable distance on curvy roads. The deck is lovely but there is busy road just below with trucks and traffic going by especially in the morning creating much road noise. The closets did not have hangers; the kitchen is strange and not conducive to much cooking. When we arrived the house was being pressure washed which meant we could not get in at all. The manager did respond when I called, but was not cordial or caring about it. I am not one to write negative reviews; it was not a bad place to stay but we expected something larger and overall more comfortable so it you don't have our expectations it is fine. Note there are cushions for outside chairs in the cabinet on the deck. We found them after a day or two of sitting on hard chairs.
