About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Mama Bear's Cottage, Pond,Firepit & Great Wifi
A small cottage overlooking a pond and only a 3 mile drive to downtown Highlands which houses Old Edwards Inn, amazing restaurants and fabulous shopping! While not walk able due to there being no sidewalks, it's an incredibly short ride to town.
Completely renovated, this space is complete with heat and air conditioning, featuring a living area with Wi-Fi, a streaming tv and a DVD player, the kitchenette with a small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and sink(no oven or stove), and a bedroom with a bathroom hosting a tiled walk-in shower. In a unit attached to the cottage and reachable in just a few steps outside and down the front of the building is a room with a washer and dryer.
Outside you can find seating for two around the fire pit! Guests are more than welcome to bring their own supplies for toasting marshmallows or we can also provide a load of firewood and materials for $85(not including taxes). During the day guests can also enjoy watching the lily pads, frogs and tadpoles in the pond.
The cottage's parking and trash cans are shared with the main house but the parking area is very large and the cottage itself is separated from the main home by the pond and a footbridge with a gate between the two home's fire pit areas. Guests have access to the entire area, except for the backyard of the main house.
The large property has 3 homes. The only thing they share is the driveway. Please see aeriel photos
This area, like most of Highlands, is known to be visited by bears especially in the fall so please be sure to not leave trash or food in your vehicle and not to allow any pets off leash when outdoors.
**Firewood and pet fees apply
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Quaint
The man with the baby, next door, gave us an unpleasant greeting.
The location is challenging for a handy-capped person.
Would appreciate some shades in the front room and more cooking instruments.
We did have a bear encounter - off the property. (exciting)
Enjoyed the stay.

Perfect little getaway spot in Highlands. Cute, cozy, well equipped, lush surroundings!
We felt so welcomed as soon as we drove up in the driveway. Then, we opened the door and were greeted with plenty of linens, toiletries, coffees and teas and delicious candy! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
