Awesome place. Great location as well.

There were six women who were doing bucket list items. There were enough beds for all of us and three baths so only two people each sharing a bath. The property manager was very accommodating. Everything we needed was there. We just brought groceries! Only one suggestion. A light is needed overhead in the living room. Not enough light there to play games or do a puzzle.

Cozy Getaway

We had a wonderful long weekend at Sleepy Bear cottage. The home was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Nice updates in the kitchen and bathrooms and I loved the Bear/Mountain themed decor. Highlands Vacation Rentals was easy to work with and had easy plan when we were running late ( you do have to pick up the house key at their office in Highlands). The home is in a nice neighborhood with easy access to all activities and sites in the Highlands/Cashiers area.
