This home was perfect for our peaceful weekend getaway--super comfortable and close to everything. The sunroom was fantastic. With the windows open, the stream right below, and views of the rhododendrons on every side of the house, we felt like we were a part of the forest. Our hosts were great to work with and made everything easy.

We enjoyed our stay at the lovely Stoney Creek Cottage! Perfect for a couple or small family. The creek running through the property added extra ambience whether you were indoors or out!

What an excellent house for my wife and I and our little Frenchie! We appreciated the kitchen having all the staples needed for a weekend getaway. We ate in a few times and it had everything we needed. Such a great location and only 5 minutes to town. Beds were very comfortable and felt like home away from home. Appreciated having home office desk space for working remotely. John and Melissa were great hosts and super responsive. Highly recommend to all!

Cutest Mountain Home!

We loved our stay - the house was in a great location just a few minutes drive from town and was in excellent condition! We cooked for Thanksgiving and had everything we needed in the kitchen and we had fun with the puzzles and games too. Great host communication as well. We can't wait to go back!

Great Highlands cottage stay

My friend and I recently stayed here for our annual girls hiking trip and we were very pleased with the accommodations. House was as stated, depicted on-line and very well stocked. Easy access to downtown Highlands but in a quiet, secluded location. Hosts were super responsive and helpful with all our questions and needs. Recommend this place for small groups for sure!

Great little find!

This house is very comfortable for 2 up to 4 people. A very cozy real wood burning fireplace takes the chill away and the creek running just outside the window will lull you to sleep in the sun! Just a great place to relax! Extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this renal to anyone interested in visiting Highlands.

A beautiful setting in the lovely Highlands area only a short drive to town to many shops & restaurants. Very well stocked kitchen.You feel as though you are the only house around, although there are neighbors nearby, nestled in the woods with streams flowing nearby with rhododendron and mountain laurel everywhere! Not a huge house but very comfy for a family of four although there is a pull out couch for an additional two. Would highly recommend.

Always our Favorite

We have been staying at Stoney Creek Cottage for years, and it just keeps getting better. John and Melissa have updated so many things and the location is wonderful. Our puppy was a year old the first time we brought him, and he’s turning 9, so even he loves it! It’s always clean and lovely. The owners respond quickly and are always helpful. You will not be disappointed!

Christmas Getaway

We have stayed in many VRBO properties but this was by far the cleanest most well appointed house we have stayed in! Comfortable beds, great towels, plenty of seating areas and a wonderful Christmas tree! Kitchen is well stocked and turn key … spices, coffee, sugar etc. no need to pack any. House is only 10 minutes from downtown Highlands for shopping, groceries, and plenty of nice places to eat. We loved how the house was nestled in the forest and pretty views from every window including the creek on the back of the property. My favorite room was the sunroom with the windows and comfortable couches. Thank you John and Melissa!
