Beautiful home, nice screened in porch area with comfortable seating and plenty of room. Nicely furnished with well stocked kitchen. Close to downtown Highlands. Close to road noise but that ended by early evening.

Accommodations were just right inside. Didn’t realize that location was in a type of subdivision and so close to the highway. We also had a problem with drainage…the dishwasher overflowed. We reported all of this Sunday night. Parking for 2 cars was a challenge. Sorry we Were unable to wash towels but were afraid to with drainage problem.😊

Very nice cabin; driveway is definitely tricky
The home was clean and well stocked. The management team very responsive. We so enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and they offer to have wood there in two different size options. The home is located perfectly to Highlands.
Two cons; the driveway is steep as mentioned and we found it difficult to manage with 3 cars. Also, if there was snow or ice would not want to go up or down on that driveway. The only other con is that the bedroom downstairs is subject to the creaking floors above.
We had 7 adults and 2 infants and enjoyed our stay very much outside of those 2 issues.
