The house was exactly as shown in listing. The kitchen setup was great - plenty of glassware and dishes if we wanted to cook. We spent a good deal of time by the creek with a fire going in the fire pit - it was very relaxing. The house is so close to downtown Highlands that you can walk or drive to a number of shops and restaurants. We had a minor issue that we reported and the host resolved it immediately. We will definitely be back to stay in the house at a future date.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. Everything was as described. Brittany is a 5 star host. Very responsive and takes care of any issues you might encounter. We spent most of our time by the creek and the hot tub. Mornings and evenings we enjoyed the soothing sounds of the creek. We walked to the downtown area as well as hiked to numerous falls and sunset rock. The home is close to everything. Would highly recommend this cottage!
