While not walk able due to there being no sidewalks, it's an incredibly short ride to town. Completely renovated, this space is complete with heat and air conditioning, featuring a living area with Wi-Fi, a streaming tv and a DVD player, the kitchenette with a small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and sink(no oven or stove), and a bedroom with a bathroom hosting a tiled walk-in shower. In a unit attached to the cottage and reachable in just a few steps outside and down the front of the building is a room with a washer and dryer. Outside you can find seating for two around the fire pit! Guests are more than welcome to bring their own supplies for toasting marshmallows or we can also provide a load of firewood and materials for $85(not including taxes). During the day guests can also enjoy watching the lily pads, frogs and tadpoles in the pond. The cottage's parking and trash cans are shared with the main house but the parking area is very large and the cottage itself is separated from the main home by the pond and a footbridge with a gate between the two home's fire pit areas. Guests have access to the entire area, except for the backyard of the main house. The large property has 3 homes. The only thing they share is the driveway. Please see aeriel photos This area, like most of Highlands, is known to be visited by bears especially in the fall so please be sure to not leave trash or food in your vehicle and not to allow any pets off leash when outdoors. \*\*Firewood and pet fees apply ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Rafting nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29640000/29632600/29632515/4b06a243.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nov special /fireplace&firepit /close to Downtown /Pets ok Highlands - Pet-friendly - Parking available - Laundry - Microwave 9.4 Exceptional 59 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-26&endDate=2025-11-27&selected=29632515&PinnedHotelID=29632515&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76270000/76267700/76267674/4336bf03.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1930's Highlands Hideaway, Restored Cozy Cabin, Dog Friendly, Fiber Optic WI-FI Mirror Lake - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 25 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-26&endDate=2025-11-27&selected=76267674&PinnedHotelID=76267674&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89550000/89540400/89540381/a758e3b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Highlands Escape, 1 mile to town - Retreat to the Mountains to Relax Mirror Lake - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 49 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-26&endDate=2025-11-27&selected=89540381&PinnedHotelID=89540381&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33150000/33141700/33141646/98427f10.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mirror Lake Red Door Guest House-On Mirror Lake and 1.2 Miles from Main Street!
