Cutest and most charming place ever, with the added bonus of it being an art gallery! The hostess was truly "the mostest" and she checked in with me frequently to make sure my stay was everything I had hoped for, and it was! Highly recommend, as the host makes sure every little detail is covered and left very clear and easy instructions for check-in and check-out. Very easy property to navigate, and close to everything in downtown. Five stars!!!

Adorable cabin! Well maintained with all the necessary amenities. Close to downtown. Cannot recommend enough
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
amenities as mentioned, one item we could not turn down the fireplace in the kitchen, and it was way too hot. Tried to contact host but got no reply. Also, there was no cheese grater. other than that, the place was great for us.

The Art Chalet is an adorable property this SO close to the attractions in Highlands. The host was super responsive when we needed help lighting the pilot light to heat the home. It was cold when we came in and we had trouble finding and maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the home. (I’m sure it can be done, but we weren’t there long enough to figure it out.) We were not aware that this is a 3-story home, and had to adjust our pre-planned sleeping arrangements to accommodate one guest with mobility issues. (That was our issue, and not that of the host or home.) The art and decor were one of a kind and added to the “feel” of the space. This is not a place for small kids, as the art is everywhere and low to the ground, and the chalet itself if right in a busy road. Overall, it was a good stay! Thank you Missy!
