We stayed 3 weeks, hated to leave. Everything was great - clean, comfortable, well stocked with everything you need for an extended stay. Location was convenient to town but very quiet. Couldn't have been more satisfied.

My husband and I stayed 4 nights at the Highlands cottage and we can’t recommend it enough. The kitchen was well appointed with all the cookware one would need, the outdoors was stocked with wood for the fire pit and the deck had a smart TV to watch all the college football we could want. There was even a nicely printed book with home instructions, sightseeing info and photos of the surrounding area. A lot of thought was put into making guests feel at home and it was greatly appreciated. If we’re ever in the area again, we would definitely stay at the Highland’s cottage and highly recommend it to others too.

We were impressed by the photos of the Highlands house when we rented it. However, after arriving, the house exceeded our expectations. It was furnished with comfortable, attractive furniture. The kitchen was well-stocked, including two coffee makers. The bedrooms were very comfortable and spacious. The house was very clean! And, every light switch was clearly labeled, which was a nice touch.
The cottage was situated on a beautiful lot in a quiet neighborhood, with easy access to downtown.
If we return to Highlands, we will definitely try to rent this same cottage.
Thanks for a great experience!

The weather was excellent, and the house had everything you needed and more. It was very clean and neat. It was also located about a mile from Main Street. Our meal at Wild Thyme was very good, and the Verandah was excellent with a huge wine selection.
