About this property

Cabin Bascom - Walk to town, tankless hot water heater and new central HVAC!

Cabin Bascom - New openings, book now!

Located less than 1/2 mile to downtown Highlands, we invite you to experience our quaint retreat at the head of the Greenway Trail and steps away from the Bascom Arts Center.

This thoughtfully renovated 2 bedroom/2 bath cabin features a designer kitchen fitted with granite, walnut, and stainless steel. The open floor plan encourages great times with family, friends or that special someone.

A well appointed master suite is centered around an impressive double sided, tumbled marble fireplace... perfect for a cozy read in the five foot bay window, a relaxing jacuzzi bath, or a restful sleep on the king sized be...we say the most romantic suite in Highlands, despite the flat screen! The guest room wears red well with double bed, TV/DVD and is paired with its own bath containing a slate walk-in shower.

Hardwood floors and pickled spruce shiplap walls throughout, stacked stone fireplace and 48 inch flat panel TV in the living area. The vibe is light, open and airy yet the cabin is filled with eclectic furnishings and purposeful art.

While surrounded by all that the interior offers, you are beckoned outside to a peaceful playground. Sip your morning beverage at the cafe table on the deck while watching the birds and ever unfolding garden. Enjoy a Highlands afternoon or evening on the lower deck around the outdoor firepit.

Tear yourself away from Cabin Bascom and enjoy all the conveniently located world class amenities that the Highland area has to offer.

Please inquire about other Highland's properties, The Roost & Foxdale Cottage at Mirror Lake.

Great location perfect for a quick getaway for my wife and I everything you need is furnished and it really is within walking distance of the main street. A few heels, but in the mountains, that’s what you would expect. Great host was very informative. Will definitely be back and this is a place. I’ll stay.

This cabin is super cute and a quick walk to town. There is two hills to get over when going into town but still an easy walk to town. The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. The back yard is super cute-I wish there was some photos of the backyard so I could've planned better and added a night roasting s'more in the fire put. The fireplaces in both the living room and master suite was amazing on the chiller evenings. Internet was great. As expected in the mountains cell service and 5G was touch and go in some spots. Cabin is close to lots of hiking/waterfalls/sight seeing. I also LOVED the heated fan feature in the bathrooms!

What a cute little cozy cabin to stay in!! We had the best time exploring Highlands, and this cabin was in a great location to be able to walk to town! Communications started a bit rocky, as we didn’t get check in info until 9:30 pm the night before arrival (having had a VRBO cancel on us before, this was very uncomfortable). We had reached out throughout the day on Saturday as well. However, once we met Lulu, she was an absolute doll. Super sweet and attentive. Would stay in this cabin again and recommend it to anyone who wants to walk to town and enjoy Highlands!!

Visiting for a wedding

Location was great- not right in town but close enough we could have walked to town via trails near our VRBO. The cottage was cute, big enough for our needs and was everything we wanted! We would definitely stay here again!

The cabin is cute and in a great location. It is very easy to walk to town from there. The fireplaces are great especially the one in the bedroom. It would definitely benefit from a smart TV in the master bedroom. Also a mattress topper and some better pillows would go a long way. The only other thing is the cleaning company left us less than half of a roll of paper towels and each bathroom had 2 half rolls of toilet paper that are single ply. Other than those small things, everything was great.

Great location

We felt very comfortable and safe. The property is near town but isolated enough that you are not disturbed by all the hustle and bustle of town. Tv reception is not great but we spent very little time inside. Perfect for us!
