Perfect for a weekend trip

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!

Great place!

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!!

Anniversary trip

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. It’s 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.

20th Anniversary Trip

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!

Great weekend getaway for my wife and me. This was our first trip to Highlands and Mirror Lake was the perfect place—peaceful, plenty of room, everything we needed, and really close to the village and hiking spots. We look forward to being back soon.

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.

Daughters wedding weekend

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.

Clean, comfortable and convenient

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 wasn’t an issue for us. The den is a cozy place for morning coffee.

Nice location for quiet getaway

Nice accommodations for our anniversary trip. Was able to access lake to paddleboard which was great and really close to downtown highlands. You can’t walk there but it’s a 2 min drive. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is there’s definitely some moisture in the place which caused a lot of allergy symptoms for me during our stay.

Great host, decent stay

The house was clean and the process was simple, but it wasn’t quite what it is portrayed as being. It’s an old house and smells musty, it’s right off a main road, and it’s not like you’re opening your back door to the lake bc you have to walk around the house but it’s not a very natural walk. It is very close to downtown which is fantastic and it was quiet. The bedroom was great as it’s a newer add on. Overall we had a nice time, just not totally what I was expecting.

Wonderful Stay!

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!
