"Eco Spa Highland is a unique and special place. The hosts are creative, warm, and enthusiastic about their mission. They are singer-songwriters and entertain after dinner themselves quite amazingly. The setting for the dining and spa facilities is beautiful. The restaurant foods, designed and prepared by the hosts, are delicious. I recommend that you know what to expect, especially if you are glamping, as we did. The Expedia description of a 'private bathroom' is incorrect. The tent is cosy, very well heated with a wood stove, and has a comfy bed and sitting area. The toilet, behind a wooden screen, will accommodate No 1 only, and you might want to bring some sanitary hand lotion as there is no running water. All the real toilet, showering, and washing up needs are served in clean and modern facilities in the main building, a very short walk from the private, wooded-area tent. Breakfast is provided in the main building. A labeled box is in the fridge there, and you heat the delicious homemade pre-ordered food yourself in the toaster oven. There is a tea and Keurig coffee making station, although when we were there there was no decaf coffee or unflavored black tea. These are complementary at meal times, with a $3.00 charge otherwise. The dining area is spacious and overlooks the spa and distant mountains. As other reviewers have mentioned, the approach road to this truly secluded summit is very rough. I advise that you arrive in daylight, and take it very slowly. "

"We had a lovely visit. Bugs are the reason for low ratings. Pros: Great kitchen, dining area, and living area. Pool was wonderful, but …Cons: The pool’s ‘shallow end’ was 4 feet deep, so young kids were unable to stand up and play in the pool. This should be noted in house description. There was an infestation of lady bugs (bi-annual owners said). They were all over, dead and alive. Other bugs as well, dead flies, crawling things. Unpleasant. "

"Was clean. Small. Bathroom door didn't close tight. No tv. "

"Cottage was cozy and peaceful. The design was well thought out and all the little details and touches made it even better. We loved it!"
