This home worked well for the price and we had plenty of room for four people. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was adequate but would not want to cook a meal for a large group. The dining room had plenty of room for playing cards and eating.
Our host Lisa was so accommodating! We loved the cottage so much that we will be returning next summer for a long stay. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, central AC , large screen smart TV's, screened patio with great furniture. Of all the places we rented in the past, this place was by far the best!

Thank you! We hope you will come back in the future!
The stay at the cabin was great. My girls loved exploring around the cabin, especially seeing all the fireflies at night. Lisa was very fast in responding and the cabin was clean. I would recommend this cabin and area to another and stay there again.

Thank you! We hope you will stay with us again at The Wright Cottage!
My wife and our 3 adult kids. We’ve stayed here 3 or 3 times. This time we enjoyed the renovations. Fire in the pit on cool nights gas logs on morning. Every day was great in May. We been here in August and May is the perfect month. We loved this place for years. Sad to leave today.

We are so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay! Highlands is a special place! Come back soon!
This was our first stay at the Wright cottage in Highlands, but hopefully will not be our last. My wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at this wonderful home and we could not have been more pleased. It was so peaceful and quiet and it was just what we have been looking for on our yearly trips to Highlands. The home is beautiful with a great sense of history that made it very special. We brought our Irish Setter and he enjoyed the huge yard and surrounding area to play in. Can't wait until we can return.

Thank you. We look forward to having you stay with us again!
The property was so cute and private. The surrounding area was very peaceful yet it was so close to town. The perfect location and cottage. We truly enjoyed our stay.
Our family enjoyed our spring break here this spring. The cabin is exactly as pictured and was a great space with room for the kids to run. It was so nice being close to town but feeling like we were out in the country. We will definitely stay again!
This my family’s third Christmas at the Wright Cottage. We simply love it. The host decorates and makes it feel like we are coming home for Christmas. We hope to continue the tradition next year!

Thanks so much for the comment! We think the Wright Cottage is close enough to town, but out of town enough to allow for peace and quiet!
Come back again soon!

This cottage was charming and cozy for our midwinter stay. Just minutes to Highlands but quiet and secluded. This is a well maintained historical home in excellent, clean condition. Cozy furniture, wonderful gas fireplace, beautiful views out the windows, antiques everywhere, plenty of space to spread out. Comfortable Beds and three full bathrooms! Host was attentive when needed and very helpful. We plan to return again next year!
