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.

Wedding at Old Edwards

The house was a perfect size for 5 adults attending a wedding at Old Edwards. It was clean and had everything we needed for our weekend trip. It's in a great location, close to downtown and the venue space. Our host checked in with us on the first day to make sure we were doing good and had everything we needed. We'll definitely save this home for future stays!

Girls Birthday Getaway

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!

Highlands hide-a-way

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.

Dog friendly

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.

The Perfect Family Get-Away House!

My family all loved this house. It was very close to town, had beautiful views, and was well-equipped. The bedroom layout was great with 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs so we didn't feel on top of each other. It was a pleasure to communicate with Caroline. I would definitely stay there again!!

Great house for our getaway

This house was perfect for four friends who like to play bridge, dine at nice restaurants and shop. Close to town but not really walkable. Beautiful views of the mountains with a lovely deck for early morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. Don’t let the photo fool you. This “ little cabin”is big with with four bedrooms and a modern downstairs addition. Very tastefully furnished.

A sweet respite!

This was the second year my 3 friends and I have rented this lovely home and we had a wonderful time. We mostly shopped and had delicious meals out. We now range in age from 80-85, so we feel so grateful to have been able, once again, to have this get away respite and fun time together because we don’t know what another year will present to ourselves. Caroline was a very gracious host and we knew that we could contact her should we have any questions.

Great little house close to everything

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.

As advertised

This is one of the nicer VRBO properties I’ve stayed in. The house is high-end with plenty of space for everybody. Multiple balconies are really nice. I really appreciated some of the small details that make staying in rented houses much easier- some kitchen consumables available like coffee filters and olive oil, bathroom items like small soaps/shampoo etc. I struggled getting into the unit bc I didn’t read the directions fully, but host was available immediately to tell me what I should have read before. There are checkout instructions regarding laundry and trash placement that we followed as best as possible for our 3am departure (unable to locate bear bin in dark). There is also mandatory insurance in addition to a damage deposit which almost stopped me from booking- both seems excessive. Overall this unit is exactly as advertised and I wouldn’t look elsewhere if I was visiting Highlands again.

Excellent Visit!

Very fine and well cared for home, splendidly located and outfitted. The roads are quite narrow and curving, as one would expect in a mountain setting. Good nearby restaurants although parking can be challenging. We brought our small border terrier and she too had a fine time. Top recommendation.
Atop Whiterock Mountain. Wonderful views. Really recommended.
