About this house rental
You don’t have to choose between the serenity of a luxurious mountain retreat and the convenience of an in-town location. Both can be yours at Mill Creek Cottage. This newly furnished three-bedroom, three-bath home is nestled in a wooded setting beside the soothing waters of Mill Creek. Yet the fine shops and restaurants of downtown Highlands are just a five-minute walk from your front door. Enjoy the sophistication and stimulation of this exquisite mountain town, then unwind in your hot tub overlooking the creek. Mill Creek Cottage is fully equipped and furnished. Just bring your suitcase and toothbrush, and enjoy the vacation of a lifetime. Read the traveler reviews below and see for yourself!
Main level has a Master bedroom suite with a King-sized Bed and a guest bedroom with a Queen bed. Beyond the bedrooms, the home opens up into a greatroom with vaulted ceilings, a gas log stone fireplace, updated kitchen and dining, and access to a screened-in porch and grill deck overlooking the creek. Upstairs is a second Master Suite with a King-sized bed and its own luxurious private bathroom.
A short walk down the hill marked with stepping stones will bring you to the lower deck where a hot tub awaits just above the bank of the creek, overlooking the water and the firepit area that sits below.

What a great cabin. The location was perfect for our family wedding weekend. The kitchen was very well appointed with more than adequate dinnerware for family entertaining. The entire cabin was very cozy….which was great due to lots and lots of rain. Parking was a challenge as there were only 2 assigned spaces for the 3 couples (3 vehicles) that stayed there. However, the realty company was helpful with finding a third spot for us since adjacent properties were empty. Would love to return to the property in nicer weather!

Cute cabin within walking distance of downtown. We especially enjoyed the screened porch on the back, where we could sit, see the leaves, and listen to the creek in the back. Would definitely recommend.

My sisters and I stayed here for a girls weekend. We loved walking in and having the lights on, and everything looked very clean and welcoming. It rained a lot during our weekend so we did not attempt to walk to town, but I think it would be walkable if you have the right shoes. In between rain showers, we did use the hot tub and it worked very well. Even though there are houses on either side, this property feels very private. We enjoyed photographing nature down by the creek, but we did not get to use the fire pit. The decor is very nice and we enjoyed the screened porch so we could be outside even when it was raining. Everything we needed, we found in the house. Very well stocked. Communication with the rental company was easy, they texted and were very responsive,
