Perfect holiday getaway!

This cabin was the perfect getaway spot for us! We loved the rustic look, yet very modern design of this cabin. It was equipped with everything we need. We wanted a quick relaxing holiday trip before the craziness begins. We felt cozy from the moment we walked in. His cabin is tucked away but very close to town. The beds were super comfy! We loved porch and the sound of the stream right beside the cabin. We hope to return for a summer visit!

Wonderful Mountain Cabin

We rented the Kingfisher for a 3-day planning retreat with our team of two couples, one single gal, and a Labrador. We had a couple in their late 60s, and three of us in our mid-thirties. The cabin was perfect! The surrounding landscape is incredibly beautiful - rhododendrons everywhere, a beautiful pond, clear, starry skies, well-lit paths and outdoor spaces all around the cabin, and conveniently located to the amenities of highlands. We didn’t bring children with us this time, but the bunk room would have been great for kids. We enjoyed the rustic feel of a log cabin stay with luxurious linens, incredibly nice bathrooms, and 5-star service from our hosts (the house manual and all the info they share about local spots ahead of your stay is very helpful.) we enjoyed the hot tub and porch - sadly we didn’t get a chance to light the fire pit. Nearby restaurants were delicious - we especially enjoyed the Blue Bike cafe for breakfast/lunch and the Oak steakhouse for a nice dinner. We will definitely recommend d this spot to friends and hope to be back ourselves. Thanks for a great stay!

Highlands Haven

Beautifully done and well appointed cabin surrounded by lush vegetation and flowering rhododendron. This place is well stocked with everything you need. Very, very clean! Not what you would expect in an 1800's cabin. Sinking into the most comfortable bed after a day of exploration or fishing in the pond out front was just heavenly. Margaret adds personal touches that makes it feel like your own home away from home.
