Tripps Cabin- Quaint cabin a mile from downtown Highlands!
"This cabin was every bit of perfect. So close to downtown, so much charm, and was just a delight to stay in. The host communication was 12/10. They even left some flowers and balloons for my wife, as this was a trip for her 30th birthday. I couldn't recommend staying here more."
