Wide plank hardwood floors throughout, fresh paint, large library with huge picture windows to sit and read and enjoy the natural beauty of the Highlands! Walk to downtown and Mirror Lake or make the short drive. If you are going in town to an event, or some thing, fancy or at night, you will want to drive and not walk. We do accept up to 2 well trained dogs with a $200 pet fee. Dogs are not allowed on the furniture or in the beds. **Please note that we, thankfully, are not inside the zoning areas where short term rentals are being restricted In Highlands after 2023 and we do not support the actions of Town of Highlands in restricting our fellow short term rental neighbors in Highlands and have given money to their cause, even though we are outside the zoning restrictions. Because we are outside the zoning restrictions, we are accepting reservations for all of 2025.

Amazing home!

If we could give this rental more than 5 stars we would! The house was inviting, well-stocked, lovely and very comfortable. The location was great and the porch provided us with a lovely view! There were a lot of little extras such as books games, etc. Communication with owner was outstanding! I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Destination Family Wedding in the area

We had a family wedding at Flat Mountain Farm (which is an awesome venue). We needed a place for the family to stay. This place was beautiful, just so lovely. So much more than we expected that we hated to leave. The hosts were very accommodating. Five stars for sure.

Beautiful livable home very close to downtown Highlands

Beautiful Home with lovely artwork. From the porch you look out at trees and feel like you are in a treehouse. It is very peaceful and very comfortable. The owners were very helpful and prompt in answering any questions. Definitely a wonderful home for a family vacation!

Very nice accommodations!

We could not have booked a better home for our stay in the Highlands! This place has it all! It is very spacious, from the living room, bed rooms, back yard porches, everyone was comfortable! It has a well stocked pantry, something we’ve not had before! We only used a few granola bars for a couple of hiking adventures but had so much more to use at our disposal! We were there for a family wedding and really our only disappointment was not enough downtime to spend enjoying the home! Oh and the art decorating the home was beautiful! Kuddos to having a very special place and will definitely look forward to coming back and booking again!

Bonnie Cottage Offers Stunning Views wrapped in A Cozy Home

Without question, the Highland area is certainly a gem! My family and I make it a point to visit the mountains yearly and our stay at Bonnie Cottage made that possible in the best way! The rooms are very well maintained with ample bedding and nice mattresses. Additionally, the kitchen is very well appointed with many baking/cooking accessories to whip up a quick meal for any travel-weary guests! Best of all, most of our group were fortunate enough to spy a mother bear and cub! I cannot speak enough about the beautiful home and its view, nor the thoughtfulness of the owners! Thank you for sharing your home to give us this wonderful vacation :)

Awesome place!

This is a great house. It is much larger than the pictures appear. Well stocked. Super close to downtown. Garbage disposal is great. One bag of trash for 4 days! Ping pong table was great. Owner is very available. Tankless water heater so we never had to worry about hot water. Great sitting areas for people to get away. Would highly recommend. There is only 1 tv, if that is important to you. We will be back.
