We had a fantastic stay at Maple Cottage!
The house was exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. It was a very short drive (6 minutes) to Main Street in Highlands and also to the grocery store. The house had everything we needed to make meals at home while the quick access to town made it fun to pop in for a meal, ice cream at Kilwyns, or to stroll around the weekend farmers market at Hutchinson Park.
The owner (Sheri) was an excellent communicator letting us know via text message that she was available to answer any of our questions if needed.

This was our third time staying at Maple Cottage. Third time's a charm, as they say, but then so were the first two! Great location -- near waterfalls and gorgeous valleys but close enough to make easy trips into town to enjoy everything there. Host is always very responsive and helpful. My husband and I love staying at this quiet little hideaway and may return yet again.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Maple Cottage and it is a clean and comfortable house to stay in. The house was spotless and had lights on and music playing when we arrived. Thanks for sharing your cottage for a wonderful vacation.

The property is peaceful and quiet with a lovely screened in porch. We were looking for a place to just kick back, and Maple Cottage was the perfect location. It was appointed and has everything you might need!
5.0
The cottage was first-rate: super-clean, well-supplied, and charmingly decorated. Location is ideal, with the town center a couple of miles away in one direction, waterfalls and wonderful forest glades less than a mile in the other direction. This was our second stay in Maple Cottage -- perhaps even more enjoyable than the first time. The owner is attentive (without being intrusive) and eager to do everything possible to ensure the guests' comfort. My husband and I may return for a third time in the future -- and highly recommend it to others.

Maple Cottage is the best appointed VRBO I have stayed in. The owner provided everything that one could need or want for the perfect vacation. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful outdoor spaces and screen porch!

Beautiful home. Everything you needed to enjoy the stay in this delightful part of NC. Especially enjoyed the porch and rocking chairs. The soft music playing when we entered was lovely as was the wonderful scents around the home. Owner very helpful.

The house was great for our escape from the Birmingham heat. I’ve rented in Highlands for over 10 years and this was the cleanest house I’ve ever rented! Everything was in working order and all switches, etc. were well marked so we knew how to operate everything. There were plenty of towels and other supplies. Early mornings on the screened porch let us enjoy the bird serenades and the deep croak of the bull frog in the lake across the street while watching bunnies and squirrels play and the hummingbirds drink from the bee balm and other flowers in the gardens. Mirror Lake is a good neighborhood for walks and is close enough to town to allow for shopping excursions and lunching. If there were a 3rd “real bed” instead of a sofa bed the house would have been perfect. We plan to rent the house again.

A wonderful vacation home. Very clean and appointed with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

Blue Maple Cottage was a delightful place to stay while visiting Highlands with our family. The rooms were charmingly decorated and comfy to sleep in. Our children preferred sleeping on the 2 provided blow up mattresses instead of the sofa couch in the entrance room. They enjoyed that room for relaxing in during the day. Plenty of extra blankets for them. It was helpful to have all the switches marked clearly. We didn't use the grill or fishing gear, but it looked like nice options. The flowers were gorgeous, and the twinkle lights on the porch made a nice welcome. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed lots of waterfalls, Whiteside Mountain, making pottery at the Bascom, walking Highlands, and a special dinner at On The Veranda. We were thankful for this cozy home away from home!

Place is super close to all things in Highlands. Ample parking and the house is lovely. Lots of space for all to stretch out. It worked so well for my family, kids included. Well equipped place with everything you could need for a great stay!

This trip was for my wife's birthday on May 26th. It was a perfect setting to make memories with our family, which was a wish of hers. I choose this cottage after my DIL found it because of the location but also the sign in the cottage which stated the rules. The last rule was to "Make Memories", so it was a perfect choice. We enjoyed Highlands more than we imagined, so we will be back.

First let me say how amazing this cottage is and how accommodating the owner was. We have been coming to Highlands for 30 years and were fortunate to have found this cottage. The location to town is great, only minutes. The property manager was so accommodating. Beautiful cottage
Will definitely be back

Very easy rental process. When we arrived the lights were on and music was playing on the radio. A nice touch. Everything was clean and all necessities were there. We cooked parts of our Thanksgiving lunch and then met up with daughter and her family for the other goodies. A hand mixer might have been helpful for the mashed potatoes, but everything else was there.
We really enjoyed our stay.

The cottage is clean and adequate, reasonably well equipped. Our problem came when a niece showed up late with a dog certified as 'emotional support.' I told her straightaway that pets were not allowed, but it was 8 p.m. and she'd come from New York. She said she'd leave first thing the next morning, and I restricted the dog to the room at the front door period! At about 10:20 p.m. the property manager came walking up the drive (we were sitting on the porch) screaming bloody murder. I went out and tried to calm him down, but he showed no respect, no courtesy. It was a very unpleasant experience, to say the least. He screamed, "You think you can slip a dog in on me, but I know it's here, and you'll have to pay and get out tomorrow!" Then he stormed off. I phoned the owner in Florida the next morning. She was reasonable enough, but we will have to pay a $250 fee to de-fumigate the house, though the dog was non-shedding, did not budge out of the outer room into the house at large and was gone the following morning early. I had a note on the phone that I'd overlooked from the owner saying that the property manager would come and walk through to assure himself that the dog was gone. Whether he did or not, I cannot say, for we spent most of the weekend at a cousin's house nearby for the family reunion we were attending. I will NEVER STAY IN THIS HOUSE AGAIN!!

We heard Highlands was a beautiful mountain town and I found this lovely cottage. It has two spacious bedrooms with their own bathrooms. There is plenty of seating and a great screened in porch. We enjoyed the fire pit and took lots of walks in the neighborhood. The town is just 5 minutes away and has lots of beautiful shops. We recommend Highlands Smokehouse.

Responsive host, Sheri was great.
House was clean and comfortable. Sheri was responsive when we called her.
On the negative side, bottom oven did not work. Top oven seems to be slow. Fridge is functional but old and rusty behind freezer section. Enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful and Comfortable
Very very nice property located in the Mirror Lake neighborhood in Highlands. The home was ready for us with lights on and soft music when we arrived late at night. The house is stocked with everything you need and is well appointed. It is perfect for a family vacation. Thank you to Sheri for her excellent attention to detail, and her welcoming and warm hospitality.

Wonderful week at Maple Cottage!
Delightful house to rent for a visit to Highlands! It felt like staying in a friend’s home, not a rental property! So many items were unexpectedly there for our use! A perfect place to relax and enjoy October Season’s fall colors!!

Cozy place but construction traffic and noise is an issue!
There is construction occurring on both sides. The noise is only during the day but it takes away from your peace and quiet. The bigger issue is traffic blocking the single lane road. Several times we had to back all they way out and go all the way around to enter. One time both sides were blocked and we had to sit and wait. We cut our stay short by a day because of it. Be sure to check on the status of the construction before booking!

Very nice home!
We had a stellar experience. Dealing with Sheri, the owner, was very pleasant. She was interested in knowing all was well with her home and our experience. This was our first time renting this home and we were so pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness. It is located on a very quite street in a great neighborhood. After our first few days, we rented again for next year!

A great place and wonderful get-away
A lovely, older place that gave us the quiet get-away we had wanted... The well-equipped cottage offered comfort and the little touches that make a setting pleasantly memorable. Our sole problem was an inability to contact the property manager on 2 occasions. (My husband had questions -- nothing serious.) Fortunately, we were able to get in touch with Sheri right away and she (and her husband) were very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maple Cottage!
