Being so close to town, you truly have the best of both worlds in this quiet mountain retreat! 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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. The home doesn’t feel like a VRBO, but rather a gorgeous “home”. There are SO many beautiful pieces of artwork! The home has a great layout and we really enjoyed the library where you're bound to find a great book to read given the extensive collection. Communication with the owner was fabulous, which is always very welcomed. Thank you for everything!

Very clean and neat house! Lots of sleeping options and rooms. Kitchen so well equipped with lots of pans, dishes, utensils, wine glasses, mugs, etc. Everything neat as a pin and artwork on the walls done by the owner which makes it special and colorful. Beautiful furniture and very nice deck with great view. All in all it is one of the best VRBOs I’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

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!
