Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exceptional and Cozy We had an amazing Thanksgiving getaway at a cozy mountain home near Highlands! The house was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed, and the thoughtful sweet treat for guests was a lovely touch. Our fur baby felt right at home, too, which made the experience even better. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and maintained excellent, prompt communication throughout our stay. We can’t wait to come back for another visit! Highly recommend! ##### Rachana K. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela J.

Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was a wonderful, comfortable, and beautifully updated cottage.
