Great place to stay!!

A Very nice and comfortable play to stay away from home. Very well appointed and close enough to the city to make trips in effortlessly. Would definitely come back :)

Family vacation

This is our second summer returning to this lovely home in Highland Lakes. It’s perfect for us. My son, his wife and one year old and my daughter and her two year old, and us the parents/grandparents. We cooked in, ate out, participated in the clubhouse activities and went to the lake almost everyday. We can’t wait to return again. Communication is great, home is well kept and modern, and it’s not far from the city - so the drive back and forth is easy, if you need to.

Disappointing Stay: Unclean and Misleading Listing

We recently tried to stay this property and was extremely disappointed with our experience. The property was not well-maintained, with ankle-high grass, spider webs, and ants inside the house. The backyard was littered with empty water bottles. Additionally, the listing description was misleading, as it advertised a three-bedroom loft, but upon arrival, we found it to be a two-bedroom loft. This was especially problematic for our elderly family members. We contacted the host to address these issues but were unable to reach a satisfactory resolution. As a result, we had to vacate the premises and find alternative accommodations for the rest of our trip. The property clearly hadn't been properly inspected by the host, and the pictures did not accurately reflect the reality. This was a highly disappointing experience, especially considering the long distance we traveled. I would not recommend this property to others. The discussion with the host was respectful yet disappointing.

Wonderful stay

We had another wonderful holiday staying for the 2nd Christmas at this house. We travel from out of state to be near family for the holidays and the house is nestled near the lake but close to major roads for travel. It’s well stocked and nicely decorated. The owner had great communication with us. Thanks again for sharing your lovely home with us

Fabulous weekend

The cottage is gorgeous, from inside it feels so big and spacious. My teenage loved it. My husband and brother couldn’t resist barbecuing. Is a great place to stay.

Three years in a row

We love coming here with our adult children and our grandchildren. The design of this small house is perfect for the 7 of us. We cook here, shop nearby, enjoy the amenities of the clubhouse and beaches by the lakes. It’s perfect for all of us and the hosts are terrific. Looking forward to next year.

Great value, location, style and host!

A group of five ladies rented the cottage for a girls' weekend and I don't know why anyone would pay crazy $$$ to stay at one of the big nearby resorts and eat out when you can stay here, spread out comfortably, and do everything the area has to offer. We had spa treatments at Crystal Springs and visited wineries in the Warwick Valley during the day and came back to the cottage to relax in front of the fireplace in the evenings. If you're someone who cares about interior design--I do--the cottage is designed nicely and layed out well. With five adults we had to share rooms but everyone had her own bed, and two full bathrooms was plenty. The kitchen had enough dishware and cookware to meet all our needs and a huge table for dining and playing games. The host, Doug, was so friendly and communicative, I'm only sorry we didn't get to meet so I could thank him in person for sharing his lovely home.

Wonderful views!

My husband and I enjoyed staying at this property. The owner was very responsive, the kitchen well-stocked, the view outside the back was lovely. Whoever remodeled this home really knew how to use natural light. Highly recommend this property!

Nice place for a quick gateway

Left the city during the recent snow storm to enjoy some skiing at Mountain Creek. Doug was very accommodating and communication was great. The house is located conveniently and has all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. Will definitely revisit.

Lovely House with great design and amenities

We had a great time at the house which was beautifully renovated with all the amenities that we needed and the perfect amount of space for us and our three small children. The house was beautiful with great furniture and a peaceful feeling inside. The only thing that was unexpected was the close proximity to the road. We were hoping that the property would be more surrounded by trees and farther from the road.

The perfect getaway from the city

We had such a wonderful time at Douglas' house. His house is soo beautiful and perfect for a mini holiday. He has everything you need in the house and it's walking distance from a beautiful lake. I wish we could have stayed for longer but I do hope to return. Douglas was very responsive with and shared all the information before our stay.
