About this house rental
So much natural light from the expansive windows as well as soaring ceilings make this the perfect open and airy place for your stay in the mountains.
This 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom A-frame home boasts a large open livingroom with a charming wood-burning fireplace as the centerpiece. The Master and guest bedroom are on the main level, sporting Queen-sized beds. Up above, through the metal spiral staircase, you'll find a loft space overlooking the main area of the home with a bedroom on either side (Full, 2 Twins) and an additional bathroom.
This home has two parking areas, an open deck, and a lower level with access to the laundry. Newly added paved parking pad leads down into a firepit area next to the house, which then continues either to the front door or the rear steps up to the deck.
Located only a few minutes from Main Street Highlands, so you can enjoy your getaway without being too out-of-reach from the many shops and restaurants that Downtown has to offer!

Laurel Cottage is beautiful, practical, and homey in layout and decor. How can you go wrong with three full bathrooms, four private bedrooms and a welcoming, comfortable great room surrounded by nature, and close to town too? Everyone in our party was happy. Thank you for making an extended wedding weekend all the more charming.

Did not like because of parking space, laundry facility and steps to go down the house
Place is stuffed with furniture in small space

Laurel
Our visit was fine but the owner needs to take care of a few things - especially the hand rail going to the front door. The top section of the rail near the road is missing causing a hazard for guest.

Breath of fresh air!
Such a private peaceful get-a-way! Spent evenings on the deck enjoying the fire pit. Nice surprise was plenty of firewood stacked underneath the house. Beds were comfy, decor and appliances nice and updated. Would stay there again for sure!

Great Cabin.. Awesome Location
Awesome little, super cozy cabin.. just a quick drive to downtown Highlands. Very clean, nicely decorated and well stocked. As other reviewers mentioned, the driveway is a little steep and there is a spiral staircase that may not suit everyone; we had no issues with either though. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We loved it!

Charming, Cozy Christmas in the Mountains
Thank you so much for letting us stay at this lovely cabin for Christmas. It was so cozy and comfortable. The decor felt like you were living in a magazine, it was so unique and eclectic, and warm. The layout was perfect for our family of 8. We had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms spacious and the deck was beautiful. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Beautiful Fall Break
We had a lovely stay in Highlands. The weather was perfect, and having a big fireplace was perfect. The house was clean and prepped for our visit. Lower driveway is quite narrow and steep. More details should be included regarding need for 4W drive.
Our children did fine with the spiral staircase, but more description for other families would be beneficial. It is quite dangerous.
Overall, it was a well described and stocked rental. We enjoyed our stay.

We will return
We have visited Highlands several times and this property was a favorite. Beautiful home nestled in a very peaceful wooded lot. We will be back.

Beautiful place and good location. Could have been better with a few simple changes.
Beautiful place and decor. Great location. Air conditioning wasn’t working for first several nights, but was repaired. Could be cleaner with less personal items in closet and drawers in master bedroom.

Beautiful home, great location
Our group of four adults and three children (ages 9 - 13) stayed at this beautiful home over a long weekend in October. This house is exactly as pictured. The decor is absolutely charming and the round fireplace was a focal point of our stay. A washer and dryer is accessible through the basement - perfect for a quick scrub of muddy clothing after a long day of hiking. The kitchen has most of what you need for food preparation, and we made several meals at “home” that were heartily enjoyed at the spectacular kitchen table. Bathrooms were nicely remodeled and beds were extremely comfortable. Everyone (even the kids!) commented on the wonderful linens. Close proximity to town was another plus. We would recommend this property and intend to stay again!
