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 stayed three weeks! It was a great location and the house was excellent! Nice stream outback! Everything you need is there plus very clean. I would stay again. Great value!
We truly enjoyed our stay and the home was gorgeous! The location was perfect for getting to Highlands and very peaceful with the creek running behind it. Our family has a great time!
Stoney Creek Cottage is wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very clean and well furnished with everything we needed. The owners are excellent and they really care about the guests who stay at the property. We give this property our highest recommendation.
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! We found the location super convenient for driving into town for dining, shopping, hiking, etc.The owners were very responsive and helpful, and we look forward to a return trip in the fall.
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!
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!
Property was spotless and met all of our needs. We enjoyed the
little creek in the back and my grandchildren claimed the space under the stairs with the beverage fridge as their space.
Very clean, immaculate, comfortable and homey. A lot of extra features that exceeded our expectations. Would definitely stay there again...highly recommend.
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!
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!
My family and I had the pleasure of staying in this cabin over the Labor Day holiday. The rental was clean, well previsioned, everything was exactly as advertised, and the location was excellent with regard to proximity from downtown Highlands. I highly recommend this renal to anyone interested in visiting Highlands.

Location is ideal to DT Highlands and nearby hiking! The property is surrounded by beautiful hardwoods! The home itself is very clean and has everything needed for a short stay. Appreciate the kitchen set up! King bed is comfortable! Real wood-burning fireplace! Will return for another stay!
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.

Melissa, Thank you for your kind review and being wonderful guests! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in our Highlands Cottage with the stream in our backyard and wonderful shops and restaurants nearby in town. We would love to host you all again any time!
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!

Jodi,
Thanks so much for your kind review! I’m so glad you all enjoyed beautiful Highlands!
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!
