Dreamy Getaway

There's no need to look anywhere else! This is our second time staying at Bubbly and we plan to return every year for a weekend getaway! Gabby does a wonderful job making you feel welcome and comfortable at her cozy cottage. The location to main street is a short walk to everything Highlands has to offer. The home is beautifully decorated!

Fantastic property!

We loved the house and property! It's situated on a creek and has a great small patio with a fire pit. It's stylishly appointed and extremely clean! It's also about a block from downtown, so it has a perfect location. We wouldn't hesitate to rent it again!

Perfect cottage!

Bubbly was the cutest cottage. The space is well thought out and decorated well! The outdoor area is equally as well done! It is so close to town but you feel as if you are isolated. It’s the perfect spot! I wish we could’ve stayed longer but definitely hope to visit again!

Scrupulously clean and decorated to perfection! The babbling book , fire pit and sleeping porch could have kept me satisfied all week . In fact, we hiked less and relaxed more because the environment was so enticing. Nice touches like my favorite wine and waters upon arrival made it extra special. I’ve already shared the link with two friends who are as fastidious as I am. That says it all.
