First time staying at the Little Bear Cottage, but hopefully not the last! We have been coming to the Highlands for 13 years and stayed in several different homes, but this is easily our #1. All on 1 level. just 3 steps, which was great for us (70-something). Well stocked with amenities., nice dishes and silverware TVs everywhere. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable. We had friends stay with us who had never experienced the Highlands before and they loved it. We are already talking about this as a location for future get togethers. You are just a few minutes from town, but it was so quiet and peaceful, you would have thought you were miles from civilization. Thanks for a great week!

We spent 4 weeks in August to escape the Florida heat. The property is in a heavily wooded and hilly part of the Mirror Lake neighborhood and only 5 minutes to downtown yet it feels very secluded . Plenty of places to hike and take long walks in the neighborhood. The house is well stocked and has everything you could need . The outdoor covered porch is great with large screen TV, remote control fireplace , propane grill , fans , etc. Property has plenty of parking spaces right outside the front door . Indoor space is roomy and comfortable. The Rec Park Pool is less than 10 minutes away. Owner is very responsive to questions. We lost power one night and owners had planned for that with a list of numbers to call and working flashlights in every room. This is our third trip to this neighborhood and this was the best property we have stayed in. Everything worked in the house and there were no surprises. Several close restaurants including On the Verandah, Highlands BBQ, and Los Vaqueros.

Perfect lay out of living areas and bedrooms. All furniture and appliances excellent quality. Extremely well stocked. Location only a few minutes from downtown Highlands and convenient to roads leading to other towns/attractions. One of the best VRBO experiences we have had. Would definitely stay here again

The mountain home above Mirror Lake was an amazing place to stay. The home is beautifully appointed and well-equipped, with absolutely everything we needed for our visit. The setting and views were gorgeous, and we especially enjoyed the wonderful wraparound deck (with sheltered areas that were very welcome on the day it rained!). We highly recommend this exceptional property and gracious hosts, and would definitely book again if we are in the Highlands area.

This was a great house for rental. It was exactly as described and more. Our host were quick to respond to our inquiries. Great location to downtown Highlands. We had a great time hanging out on the expansive porch with TV and fireplace. We definitely look forward to going back

The house was beautifully appointed with comfortable beds, quality linens and towels, a fully equipped kitchen, lovely knickknacks, TV sets in every room, a bevy of supplies, gas and wood-burning fireplaces. No need to buy toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc. It is all there, and only a 5-minute drive to Highlands. All the comforts of home because it is a house that is lived in, rather than your typical dedicated, cold. barebones rental unit. Cheryl and Neil are wonderful owners/managers of this property and always quickly address and resolve any issues that may pop up.. This is is my 2nd time renting this property, and a I will definitely be returning. In every respect, a superb rental experience.
