Fall Getaway

Overall great trip with my wife and daughter. Nice little cottage along the lake. Place is small, but we knew that going into it when we reserved. Everything worked out great. She even brought in an outdoor gas firepit for us!!

Beautiful location right on the water!

My father and brother were visiting from out of state and found this cottage to be the perfect size to meet their needs. Very calming to be by the water with a gorgeous view.

Great place for a little get away! Right on the water just like they said! Enjoyed a lot

The host was great and replied quickly for any thing we needed, got in the house and immediately were amazed by the view, went on the canoe in the lake which was absolutely beautiful. And nothing beats waking up in the morning and having coffee with this view. 5/5 all across the board!

Lake cottage

Clean and nice cottage on Highland Lake. We had a good time here but it should be noted that space is very limited, there’s no washing/drying machine or dishwasher and wifi was weak (we had trouble with Zoom and streaming).

Awesome week at the cottage!

This was our family’s second year staying at the cottage, and it was another fun week! We bring our own boat, so it was great to have it docked there all week to fish, water ski, go tubing, and going on evening rides around the lake. We love the cottage, and it has everything we need for our small family.

Perfect get away!

The view from this home is gorgeous as is the whole property!!! Even when you're in the house The water view is complete as the home is very close to the water. I can't think of a single thing that was lacking.

Happiness on Highland Lake

My friend and i spent a few days here at the end of September and we could not have wished for anything more. The home is compact but had everything we could have wanted. It was squeaky clean and decorated so beautifully. The kitchen had all the pots, pans and accessories that we needed. The weather was great for early fall and we used the kayaks everyday. The stone stairs into the water made it very easy to get in and out and even take a quick swim. We enjoyed watching the boats going by while sitting on the dock. Debbie's check in and check out process was quick and easy and we will definitely visit again.

Unforgettable Weekend!

This was the best labor day weekend ever. My family and friends loved it! The location is wonderful and the view of the lake is a charm. The cottage is beautiful, well equipped and had everything we needed including the dock. We will definitely miss the place and rent again as soon as possible.

Amazing!!!!

To say this place is perfect for a visit is an understatement. The property owner’s attention to detail was above board and everything was well thought out. We kept finding little treasures in the house that related to Highland Lake that highlighted the owners love for this place. I approached this kind of rental with skepticism but found that, in this case, the property and owner were amazingly helpful and this was, quite frankly, the easiest vacation that I have ever booked.

Lovely Gem

Our stay was just what we needed to wrap up our summer. Debbie was responsive and went above and beyond to provide us with extra kayaks to enjoy the lake as a family. We hope to come back next year to this charming lakeside retreat.
