The cabin surpassed our expectations. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The kitchen was fully equipped. We enjoyed the gas log fireplace also. It is near Mirror Lake that is beautiful. We highly recommend this 101 year old cozy cabin. The host responded immediately. Very pleasant

The cabin was very comfortable and inviting. The location was excellent. Just six minutes to the town centre but so quiet and peaceful after the bustle of the shopping district. We will definitely rent the cabin again in the future

Wonderful Place to Stay

We just loved this cute cabin! No detail was missed with the lovely decorations. The cabin has everything you will need, a full kitchen, two bathrooms with full size tubs/showers. The two bedrooms are a very comfortable size. You will really enjoy your visit to this little cabin in the woods!

Perfect family weekend in the mountains

Perfect location and mountain setting for this charming vintage cabin. Mirror Lake is the perfect quiet setting close to everything in town and around Highlands/Cashiers. Loved walking through the neighborhood and enjoying mornings and evenings on the front screened porch. The cabin is cozy and comfortable for our family of 4. We’ll definitely be back to stay again!

Christmas get-away

The cabin was just as described. It was so cozy and quiet, perfect for relaxing and enjoying old Christmas movies. It is located very close to everything you could possibly want. We had incredible meals. We attended the most beautiful church services. The area is scenic and the people very nice. Highly recommend a stay in The Highlands.

Charming Cabin

Our stay at the charming cabin was idyllic and memorable. The location is ideal, nestled in the forest and near to Mirror Lake. It is also conveniently located and just a short drive to restaurants and shops in the town of Highlands. The cabin in well furnished, comfortable, quiet, and contains all the creature comforts for a pleasant stay. I highly recommend.

Cozy Cabin

It is the perfect spot to feel you are away from everything and yet at the same time have access to the best dining and shopping. I absolutely love this area and for the value and comfort this place is a gem. Melissa was great at communication which is always appreciated as well. We will for sure be back soon.

Rustic cabin

We were not sure what to expect of a century-old cabin but were not disappointed. Great location a short drive from downtown Highlands, quiet, secluded, surrounded by rhododendron and tall trees. Enjoyed relaxing on the front porch.

So relaxing and quiet! A great retreat and place for us to come and decompress after a busy day. Really enjoyed the front screened in porch. Saw a beautiful black bear walk down the driveway. Great walk around Mirror Lake! Thank you so much!

Delightful stay

We had a delightful stay at this cottage in the woods, a peaceful, quiet and relaxing ambience with pretty walks at one’s doorstep. It was amazing how many amenities were fit into this compact space. Two double bedrooms, two full baths with tubs, a large kitchen with washer, dryer and a comfortable living area to sit and relax. The kitchen was well equipped such that we ate in as often as out. The comfortable beds made for a restful nights sleep. Everything in its place, it was perfect.
