Great proximity to town - a little hard to turn around with a very large truck. The house was very clean and well provisioned. We would stay there again.

Hi Leslie, Thank you for your kind review. I am so sorry that you had a hard time turning around with your truck. I find that it is easier to come in from the left side of the house off of the road and back out straight and go down the road towards Hickory Hill. I hope you will come back and stay again in the future. All my best, Caroline

Nice property, but rough on older folks who have a hard time climbing steep steps. Can't understand why the grill was not on the patio next to the kitchen. And the grill was in pretty poor shape. The downstairs was much nicer than the upstairs. The Nest HVAC controls were baffling. Overall, a nice property with a nice hostess.

Thank you for your review and for noting that you found my cottage to be nice overall. I too enjoyed meeting you. I am sorry that you found some aspects of my home challenging. My listing photos and description are intended to clearly show the home's layout including the stairs between the two levels so that guests can determine in advance whether the property is a good fit for their mobility needs. I appreciate your feedback and will continue to make those details as clear as possible for future guests. Regarding the grill, it is intentionally located on the large lower deck rather than the covered side porch. The lower deck provides considerably more space and importantly is uncovered making it a safer location for grilling. I am sorry that the grill did not meet your expectations and I will address that immediately. I appreciate your feedback re the Nest thermostats. I would have been more than happy to walk you through that or adjust them remotely. Thank you again for sharing your perspective and for choosing my cottage for your stay in Highlands.

Great Weekend Stay!

We had a great stay for the weekend, plenty of room, terrific views and walkable to town via Oak Lane Trail. Owner very communicative and plenty of room for the 6 of us. Can’t wait to come back, so much more to do and see and sitting on the back porch was idyllic.
