We spend a week in Highlands every summer. We revel in the cooler temperatures and love the nearby hiking opportunities. This was our first stay at this house and we were thrilled with the experience. As others have said, the porch is delightful. Much of the time we were at the house was spent here. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need.

The most amazing porch!
This home was so gorgeous, spacious yet cabin feeling. We had plenty of room for 3 couples for a wk. And the porch? OMG, never seen one better. Outdoors but partially closed in w/heaters & fireplace to stay warm on those chilly days. Loved Highlands and Franklin. Great shopping and restaurants. Will be back.and Franklin

Great holiday trip!
We celebrated Christmas in Highlands with a family of 3 couples and an infant. This is my second time renting this property and it is great! Super clean, comfortable, love the 3 king bedrooms all with en-suites and the best is the large outdoor covered deck with heaters, fireplace and tv. Very well stocked kitchen. Only 1.5 mikes to downtown. Will definitely rent again.

Brothers’ Retreat
This was my 4th stay at this property. A brothers retreat in this instance. It is, without a doubt, my fave mountain rental home. Very well appointed, comfy beds, and very accommodating owners. Looking forward to my next stay.

Absolutely wonderful!
This property was great! The pictures do not do it justice! It was super cute, comfortable with lovely decor and very comfortable beds! The outdoor covered area with the gas fireplace was definitely a plus and so enjoyable. Our group was four older adults celebrating a 65th birthday and we had plenty of room to spread out. The location was great. The house was well equipped and we were there when hurricane Helene hit. Thankfully they had flashlights, candles and extra water on hand. It was an amazing experience!

Ideal location, secluded yet close to town
First time staying at the Little Bear Cottage, but hopefully not the last! We have been coming to the Highlands for 13 years and stayed in several different homes, but this is easily our #1. All on 1 level. just 3 steps, which was great for us (70-something). Well stocked with amenities., nice dishes and silverware TVs everywhere. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable. We had friends stay with us who had never experienced the Highlands before and they loved it. We are already talking about this as a location for future get togethers.
You are just a few minutes from town, but it was so quiet and peaceful, you would have thought you were miles from civilization. Thanks for a great week!

A Real Gem
Tucked away in the Mirror Lake area of Highlands, this home is a real gem, especially for adults. 3 Bedrooms, each with super-comfy King beds (with 1 bedroom also having 2 twin Quality linens, towels, furniture, appliances, etc). This is a home that the owners also use; and the pride they put in their home is evident everywhere you look. This is my 3rd stay at this wonderful home, and many more are anticipated. My go-to place when I travel to the Highlands area.

August in the Mountains
We spent 4 weeks in August to escape the Florida heat. The property is in a heavily wooded and hilly part of the Mirror Lake neighborhood and only 5 minutes to downtown yet it feels very secluded . Plenty of places to hike and take long walks in the neighborhood. The house is well stocked and has everything you could need . The outdoor covered porch is great with large screen TV, remote control fireplace , propane grill , fans , etc. Property has plenty of parking spaces right outside the front door . Indoor space is roomy and comfortable. The Rec Park Pool is less than 10 minutes away. Owner is very responsive to questions. We lost power one night and owners had planned for that with a list of numbers to call and working flashlights in every room. This is our third trip to this neighborhood and this was the best property we have stayed in. Everything worked in the house and there were no surprises. Several close restaurants including On the Verandah, Highlands BBQ, and Los Vaqueros.
