This mountain home was such a comfortable stay for all of us. The two bedrooms upstairs were very spacious and had plenty of storage for belongings and had comfy beds. Soaps and amenities provided in both the upstairs and the master bath were very much appreciated as were the numerous fluffy towels. The primary suite was quite large and had a great view of the cascading mountain stream outside. The bed was comfortable and again the amenities were great. This is a very well appointed, beautifully decorated home that we would be very happy to visit again. The owners were super responsive to a problem we had with the fireplace and did everything in their power to resolve the issue. We wanted a comfortable place to relax with good friends and this location most definitely fit that criteria.

the property is not what it appears from the outside. From the outside it looks like a modest mountain cottage, but inside it is a well appointed home with the most amazing kitchen ever!

The house is such a gem. My husband and I visited the area with our young girls (5 and 7). It is impeccably decorated without feeling stuffy, has lots of space, and all the necessities for it to feel like home. We had a small issue with the dishwasher over a holiday weekend, but the property owners addressed it quickly and were apologetic. It is in a prime location close to Highlands and other surrounding sites. We fell in love with the area and can’t wait to visit again! We would definitely come back to the house!

This home is beautiful and it is in an ideal location. A great deal of thought has gone into making this property truly a “home away from home.” Everything one could possibly need is provided. We loved our stay and we hope to return very soon. Thank you so much!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The home was beautifully decorated and nicely appointed. The beds were wonderful and the kitchen was fantastic. Top notch appliances and china. We especially loved the sun room with the view to the little waterfall. We had our morning coffee here. Also, excellent location for neighborhood walks and only 5 minutes to downtown Highlands.

Absolutely beautiful house! Lovely decor! Great outdoor living space! Close to downtown! We made reservations to three restaurants and they were no more than 5 minutes from the house. Outstanding kitchen with anything you would ever need. The weather was not great for our stay but we made the best of it. Would love to stay there again!

We’ve rented many houses in Highlands. This was a perfect house. It was very comfortable, well provisioned and in a great location. We definitely recommend this lovely home. The only thing was the chilly weather. We wanted to sit outside on the lovely porch. Thank you to the owners for sharing this lovely home.
10.0 / 10.0
The entire process and accuracy of listing was exceptional. We enjoyed cooking in a very well equipped kitchen and spending time together gathered around the fireplace. We spent our days in Highlands and Cashiers. It was a beautiful long weekend and we look forward to returning soon.

We had a teacher get away and this property was so much more than we could have asked for. The whole town lost power for about 6 hours one day. The owners were in constant communication to assure we were safe. They went out of their way to help us in way we needed. Highly recommend!!❤️

We enjoyed a long weekend in Highlands. The house was amazing! Plenty of room but still felt cozy. We enjoyed the back porch and waterfall feature. Looking forward to visiting again soon when the weather is a bit warmer to take full advantage of the outdoor space. Will definitely stay at Mirror Lake Cottage again.

We will be back for sure.

On our honeymoon, my bride and I decided to visit the Highlands of NC for the first time. The home was absolutely perfect both inside and out. With an open floorplan and impeccably decorated, our four days were everything we envisioned.

Reunion
My husband’s two sisters joined us in Highlands. One from Massachusetts and one from Atlanta. We had a wonderful time. The home gave us plenty of spaces to just sit and catch up! We loved it!

Amazing Retreat
Our family had a wonderful time with the beautiful cabin in the beautiful snowy woods! Easy to access to main road so the snow was welcome-even in the last week of winter!

Terrific Central Location for that Mountain Getaway
This house sits about 2 minutes from downtown Highlands, which means you've pretty much got a perfect location for anything you're looking to do in the area. The trip for us was just a quiet winter getaway with friends.
The house is exactly what you see in the photos, comfy, homey, cozy, and perfect for 2-6 people. The kitchen is definitely one of the best stocked kitchens we've stayed in. Tons of plates, pots, pans, etc. I think the only thing we weren't able to find was some sort of baking sheet (of course we could have very well overlooked it - there are lots of cupboards). The bedrooms are all welcoming and comfy - the only change I would personally make is upgrading the bed to a king bed in the master bedroom since there seems to be plenty of room. The living/sitting areas are both occupied with plenty of comfortable places to sit and the the gas fireplace was huge plus for those of us too lazy to get those wood logs going everyday.
Although the weather didn't allow for us to utilize the outdoor space - there is tons and seating and the water feature is a great extra feature to have. I can imagine the back porch is the place to be in the Summer and Fall - hopefully someday we will get to come back and try it out.
