This cabin was perfect for our anniversary get-away, although it was spacious enough we could have brought our whole family! The house was outfitted with everything that we needed. We loved that it was within 10 min of downtown Highlands, but yet felt private and secluded.

Very Cute Mountain House!!

This was a great house for a mountain getaway. Everything was very clean and the owners ensured that we had everything we needed down to firewood, starter chips, and even wood sticks for marshmallows! The house was deal for having a group stay and the view was lovely. Very close to the town for easy access to dining options!
