Charming Cozy Cottage

We had a wonderful time in The Highlands and this property was perfect for us. Proximity to town is excellent and the neighborhood is very quiet.The cottage is uniquely and beautifully decorated, had everything we needed and we very much enjoyed sitting on the outdoor porch taking in the fresh air and nature.

Cozy Honeymoon Hideaway

What a moody, rustic, chic mountain cabin! The decor was thoughtful, the furnishings cozy, and the location ideal. Fly Creek manages to feel both tucked away while being less than two minutes from town. You can't beat a restorative trip in Highlands with the quaint shops, elevated restaurant scene, and great hiking/waterfalls... and Fly Creek is the perfect spot from which to enjoy all that Highlands has to offer!

Good relax in the mountains

Nice little spot in the Highlands. Rental had everything we needed. Easy drive to town, we walked a few times. Great walking right near the rental. We saw many trails when we were on our walk but were a little nervous about bears so stayed on the back roads, very little traffic and pretty scenery. Enjoyed the tennis and pickleball at the park near town. Good restaurants and shopping all very close. We had a great time, thank you very much!

Cozy mountain cottage

Cozy little cottage in close proximity to Main Street where all the shops and fabulous restaurants are located. It was a great place to stay for two, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was beautiful. It was cold in the mornings and we loved the heated bathroom floors. We didn’t cook, but there appeared to be everything you’d need. There wasn’t a table up to eat at but I think we saw one you could set up. Appliances all look new including a washer and dryer. We hiked during the day and went to amazing restaurants at night, so we weren’t there that much , but It was a perfect stay for our purposes while visiting the beautiful little mountain town of Highlands.

"Cute" Property in Great Location

This is a thoroughly enjoyable property in a convenient, near-town location. Kitchen and bath have been recently renovated, and although we didn't cook, appliances and cookware were high-end. Adirondack inspired decor was comfy and serviceable, and adequate for two persons. Improvements? Linens were a little "tired," and for some reason there was no liner or trash bags provided for the Simplehuman trash can, leaving us without a place to dispose trash. Also, the high tech washer/dryer required an app that my iphone wouldn't download. In sum, despite a few glitches, this is a terrific property for visitors seeking a budget friendly, convenient location with ready access to Highland's hiking trail network.

This charming cottage is very well appointed and situated close to town. From the heated bathroom floor to the subtle “fishing cabin” decor, it was a wonderful choice for our Highlands getaway.

Charming mountain cottage. Loved evenings on the front porch! Only cons would be the bed /pillows were pretty uncomfortable (my husband slept on the couch 2 nights) and bedroom could use a ceiling fan. Also- not really walking distance to town. All in all- had a wonderful time!

Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay and had a relaxing time. We saw a bear at night which was really neat (we were on the porch and not in harms way). The heated floors in the bathroom were so nice. The property was super clean, tidy and cute. Would stay here again.
