Fall Oct 2023

Property was just like Pictures. It is however located on a hair pin turn which was scary and noisy. Thank goodness for the chiropractor business where you can turn around. It was pet friendly but not pet safe. Would not recommend pets. Sun was great on porch for am but not afternoons.

This property was great for our Girls Getaway to Highlands. Communication was easy and helpful! Getting in and out was a little tricky (being right on the road and a curve) but we just went to the business on the right beyond the house and looped around to drive into the driveway! Worked out great! The cottage was cozy and cute!

Review of 2622 Dillard Road

We rented the cute cottage for two weeks. It was very well equipped. Very nice appliances. Excellent management. Wonderful large deck. Made one feel they were in a tree house. It is located right on the main road into town. Therefore, the constant traffic was very noisy. More so while sitting on the lovely back deck. Although there are 2 bedrooms, they are very small. And they both open to one bath. Hence, both bed- room doors open into the tiny bath. Not exactly convenient since the bath is so small and barely accommodates one person. Would I rent this cottage again? No But the location is great, and if your bathroom needs are not as important as mine, go for it.

Disappointing Stay

The reviews mentioned proximity to the highway relative to accessibility and noise but it was VERY noisy and busy to enter/exit. The photos on line look great but when we entered, there was a mouse trap (in full view) in the kitchen and a can of Raid on top of the fridge. A blind in the bedroom was broken along with other items. Several bulbs were burned out on the light fixtures. The outdoor cushions were torn up and the towels smelled moldy. I killed a spider and three large ants in the bathroom. We did not feel comfortable eating at the house so went out for every meal-including coffee. We actually cut our vacation short by one night. The booking and check-in process were very easy. We’re hoping to go back to Highlands in the future but will definitely choose a different property. We have owned rental properties so understand issues but we also understand customer satisfaction.
