The stay at the cabin was great. My girls loved exploring around the cabin, especially seeing all the fireflies at night. Lisa was very fast in responding and the cabin was clean. I would recommend this cabin and area to another and stay there again.

This was our first stay at the Wright cottage in Highlands, but hopefully will not be our last. My wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at this wonderful home and we could not have been more pleased. It was so peaceful and quiet and it was just what we have been looking for on our yearly trips to Highlands. The home is beautiful with a great sense of history that made it very special. We brought our Irish Setter and he enjoyed the huge yard and surrounding area to play in. Can't wait until we can return.

This cottage was charming and cozy for our midwinter stay. Just minutes to Highlands but quiet and secluded. This is a well maintained historical home in excellent, clean condition. Cozy furniture, wonderful gas fireplace, beautiful views out the windows, antiques everywhere, plenty of space to spread out. Comfortable Beds and three full bathrooms! Host was attentive when needed and very helpful. We plan to return again next year!
