Complimentary beverage center was great! Breakfast was simple but very good!

Open the creaky screened door to the subtle smell of firewood and the rhododendrons blooming beside the front porch. The cabin is flooded with natural light. Finishes include all shiplap walls, wide-plank hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings with antique wood beams, local slate tile, and the original 1940's Wolf range in the kitchen.

The Layout: From the front porch, guests enter into a large open space that houses the living room with wood burning fireplace on the right, and the dining room for 6 on the left. Both ensuite bedrooms are off of the main living area (one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed). The galley kitchen is to the far left behind the dining room wall and looks out onto the side mossy yard.

Highlands is also a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. With an abundance of opportunities for biking, hiking, horseback riding, tubing, canoeing, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting, adventure-seekers will not find a more beautiful backdrop.

The Details: The living room and both bedrooms have flat screen smart TV's and standard cable channels. We also have wifi.

No disappointments!" - "Even though this property is just off a paved road and right next to a neighborhood, there is practically no road noise or other noise pollution. Excellent view from the living room. We spent most of our time on the spacious deck reading snd enjoying the view." - "Everything from booking the property to check in was super easy. Only complaint, if any was the fire place not producing enough heat. We did experience colder than normal temperatures. Stunning view from the property. Do recommend. If you are into star gazing, down load a star gazing app. Tons of "new" stars were visible to us. The property itself had lots of upgrades in its furnishings. Stunning property inside and out.

We enjoyed sitting on the porch gazing at the mountains. The location of this house was very close to our destinations, groceries, etc. The only difficulty was the heat buildup upstairs (the air conditioning vent in the upstairs closet was inadequate to cool the bedroom and sitting area, and we were uncomfortable using it, including sitting to watch television. We feel this should be remedied or a the very least included in the description of the home on VRBO. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay."

- "Very peaceful place." - "Our month long stay in this home was perfect. The house is well furnished and completely stocked with everything you would need. We especially enjoyed the deck and some evenings we used the outdoor fire - We rarely used the upstairs tv area as we were too busy walking and playing pickle ball and reading - a totally relaxing stay getting out of the heat at home. Owners were available if there were questions- I would highly recommend renting this property."

Guest Reviews:

- "This cabin is VERY well done. The sheets/linens are very nice and the place is stocked with almost everything. If this cabin had a stackable washer/dryer, it would be perfect." - "I stayed in the "Happy Place" property with my husband and 19-yr-old daughter. We found the home to be just as clean as all the reviews said and maybe even cleaner! Cindy made the check-in so simple and even messaged me the next day to make sure we were fine and to see if we had any questions about anything. Everything was in perfect working order and I was impressed with the "smart" features like multiple USB ports in each room for charging devices. The inside of the house looks brand new from floor to ceiling and had all the comforts of home. You can tell that the owners have worked very hard and spared no expense to restore the home. The house was very easy find and was close to town which was nice, however, it sits right on top of a very busy road. The front porch is so nice and big and I was picturing myself taking the perfect nap there, but the road noise was not to be ignored. No one took a nap on the porch but the traffic would die down in the evenings and it was more peaceful then. In fact, I've never seen so many lightning bugs so that was fun! It was amazing to see! Overall, it was a wonderful getaway. Thank you Cindy for being such a wonderful hostess!!"
