We have been coming to the Highlands for 13 years and stayed in several different homes, but this is easily our #1. All on 1 level. just 3 steps, which was great for us (70-something). Well stocked with amenities., nice dishes and silverware TVs everywhere. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable. We had friends stay with us who had never experienced the Highlands before and they loved it. We are already talking about this as a location for future get togethers. You are just a few minutes from town, but it was so quiet and peaceful, you would have thought you were miles from civilization. Thanks for a great week! ##### John O.

Jun 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful deck and very well stocked, great for entertaining a small group. Overall I was very happy with the property. My biggest complaint is it should have been attended in a timely fashion before we arrived. The deck was thick with pollen and the inside of the house was quite dusty. We had to do some cleaning when we arrived. Also what we were not aware of was the steepness of the driveway. My son in law blew a tire on one of the corners of the drive. It was extremely steep and narrow in certain spots. On a positive note, the house was spacious and had great entertaining space and was well stocked. The bedrooms were large and there was a good amount of bathrooms. ##### RoseMarie D.

Sep 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### August in the Mountains We spent 4 weeks in August to escape the Florida heat. The property is in a heavily wooded and hilly part of the Mirror Lake neighborhood and only 5 minutes to downtown yet it feels very secluded . Plenty of places to hike and take long walks in the neighborhood. The house is well stocked and has everything you could need . The outdoor covered porch is great with large screen TV, remote control fireplace , propane grill , fans , etc. Property has plenty of parking spaces right outside the front door . Indoor space is roomy and comfortable. The Rec Park Pool is less than 10 minutes away. Owner is very responsive to questions. We lost power one night and owners had planned for that with a list of numbers to call and working flashlights in every room. This is our third trip to this neighborhood and this was the best property we have stayed in. Everything worked in the house and there were no surprises. Several close restaurants including On the Verandah, Highlands BBQ, and Los Vaqueros. ##### David L. Stayed 28 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David W., Bradenton, FL Oct 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Real Gem Tucked away in the Mirror Lake area of Highlands, this home is a real gem, especially for adults. 3 Bedrooms, each with super-comfy King beds (with 1 bedroom also having 2 twin Quality linens, towels, furniture, appliances, etc). This is a home that the owners also use; and the pride they put in their home is evident everywhere you look. This is my 3rd stay at this wonderful home, and many more are anticipated. My go-to place when I travel to the Highlands area. ##### David W. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Winston C.

Our host were quick to respond to our inquiries. Great location to downtown Highlands. We had a great time hanging out on the expansive porch with TV and fireplace. We definitely look forward to going back ##### Gregg E.

The house was beautifully appointed with comfortable beds, quality linens and towels, a fully equipped kitchen, lovely knickknacks, TV sets in every room, a bevy of supplies, gas and wood-burning fireplaces. No need to buy toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc. It is all there, and only a 5-minute drive to Highlands. All the comforts of home because it is a house that is lived in, rather than your typical dedicated, cold. barebones rental unit. Cheryl and Neil are wonderful owners/managers of this property and always quickly address and resolve any issues that may pop up.. This is is my 2nd time renting this property, and a I will definitely be returning. In every respect, a superb rental experience. ##### David W.
