About this property

Highlands Close-to-Town Cabin, Pet-Friendly

  • Take in the mountain views from the back porch of our charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin. Enjoy rocking on the porch and relaxing by the fire. Only a 3-mile drive from the grocery store and 3.5 miles to downtown Highlands, it is also in convenient proximity to area hiking and waterfalls.

    Inside, the primary bedroom offers a king-sized bed and ensuite full bathroom with a shower. The second full-bathroom is off the main hallway and has a tub. The second bedroom is off the kitchen area and has a daybed with a trundle bed (2 twins). Laundry room is located off the second bedroom. There is also a door that opens from the second bedroom to the front porch/carport area. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking essentials and the living room features a television (inside white cabinet in living room), X-Box 360 for games and to watch DVDs as well as a selection of puzzles, games, etc.

    EXTRA GOODIES: In the garage you’ll find a dart board in the wall. There is also a storage room with a bean bag toss game. Firewood can be purchased by the bundle at gas stations, grocery stores or Highlands Lawn and Garden Center.

    PLEASE NOTE:
    - Our cabin is located in a residential area with many neighbors that live here year-round. Please be courteous to neighbors.
    - You will not have cell or internet service upon arrival. I suggest connecting to WIFI as soon as you arrive. Make sure WIFI calling is enabled on your phone. Short text messages work best for quick communication. Email works well too. Cell calls work best from the 2nd bedroom by the garage to all the way up the driveway. We do have satellite internet to the Roku TV to stream your favorite shows, but it is not always dependable. Be patient as it can take time to load. Certain apps seem to work better than others and there is usually some buffering time. Loading your shows ahead of time can help. But, again PLEASE NOTE, the WIFI is not always dependable.
    - We allow pets for $50 per stay. If you bring an unregistered pet you will be charged $200. Electric vehicles will be charged $15 per day. If you do not register your vehicle you will be charged $200. The exterior of the property is monitored.

    - Highlands is in a temperate rain forest. Some years we get lots of rain. Some winters we get a lot of snow. Please plan accordingly for your stay. If you are concerned about weather and road conditions we strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance as refunds are not offered due to weather conditions. We have many guests who book solely for the purpose of experiencing the unique weather patterns that Highlands experiences.
    - Late check out (after 11 a.m.) will incur a $100 fee.

Great little cabin outside of Highlands. Property was advertised. We loved the fireplace in the cabin and they had excellent linens. Super cozy spot for what ended up being a very rainy weekend during our stay.

Unexpected location issues

Cabin was adequate and cozy. The drive to and from town was on a very difficult winding road and the driveway was extremely deceptive for exiting and caused a problem during our stay.
