Perfect cottage!

Bubbly was the cutest cottage. The space is well thought out and decorated well! The outdoor area is equally as well done! It is so close to town but you feel as if you are isolated. It’s the perfect spot! I wish we could’ve stayed longer but definitely hope to visit again!

Perfect house and location!

Great location and great house for our first time to Highlands. The house was perfect. Best part of our stay might be the bear that visited us twice while sitting around the fire pit in the late afternoons. Very cool!

Beautiful home with all the conveniences. Loved the fire pit with the creek and waterfall in the backyard. The porch was awesome.
