This property was even better than imagined! Had everything we needed and close to town. Lots of room to enjoy our family time! ❤️

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

We absolutely loved this house! Great outdoor space, multiple fireplaces, cozy and welcoming. The owner made it easy and was texting throughout our visit.

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
4.8
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.

Great place to stay for our family of 6 adults and one 6 month old child. Great headquarters for Franklin, Highlands and Cashiers. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances, grill works great , the large deck maybe the best part. Would highly recommend. We all look forwards to staying again.
4.8
The property has been very well maintained and we found it to be clean, well-stocked and even better than the photos presented on the website. We had 6 adults and 1 child and had plenty of living space for everyone. We spent most of our time on the covered outdoor patio eating, talking and reading. The property was very close to town, restaurants and waterfalls. Our entire family said, let's rent this place again.

Scared of the driveway at first and then realized it was a piece of cake… we live in Florida…not a hill in sight!
4.8
We loved our stay here. 3 King bedrooms all with private bath attached which was great for 3 couples staying. We loved the covered deck with the fireplace, spent most evening out here enjoying each other's company. Would stay here again, for sure.

One of our favorite places we have rented in Highlands and we go usually twice a year. Loved the outside porch where we stayed most of the time. Inside was perfect also. Definitely will return.

The house has everything - location, space, porch, fireplaces, no downside to it at all

Great location. Beautiful porch. Loved having coffee in the morning.

Overall I was very happy with the property. My biggest complaint is it should have been attended in a timely fashion before we arrived. The deck was thick with pollen and the inside of the house was quite dusty. We had to do some cleaning when we arrived. Also what we were not aware of was the steepness of the driveway. My son in law blew a tire on one of the corners of the drive. It was extremely steep and narrow in certain spots. On a positive note, the house was spacious and had great entertaining space and was well stocked. The bedrooms were large and there was a good amount of bathrooms.

This property was perfect for our visit to the Highlands. The house was just as pictured. Very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. Neil, the owner, was easy to communicate with and he responded very promptly. Thank you for. Wonderful stay!

As a family of 5, we spent a wonderful few days in this home over Christmas and we spent lots of cozy time in front of all 3 fireplaces! Conveniently located close to town and close to wonderful hiking trails. We hiked a different trail every day. The home was well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals and it was decorated for the holidays. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Thank you for a wonderful visit to the Highlands.

Our stay was wonderful. The property was beautiful and well cared for. It was fully supplied with all you could ever want. The beds were comfortable and in a great location. Highly recommend Lazy Bear Cottage if looking for a relaxing vacation.
Thanks Neil and Cheryl

Plenty of room for our three couples. Loved the two living areas and the covered outside deck with the gas fireplace and TV. Had an issue with the wood burning fireplace in the living room, even with instruction from the owners. Maybe the flu is blocked. With that being said the owners were very accessible and accommodating. The house was well stocked with anything we needed. Thank you to the Moultons. Great time!

This was an experience beyond expectation. We felt so welcome and all our needs were met. Will recommend and most likely return!

Friends for over forty years, we were fortunate to spend a week in this lovely home. Even though we had rain three days, we enjoyed the outdoor sitting room so much. It was even cool enough to have a cozy fire. We cooked several nights and found the kitchen well equipped and supplied. Over all a wonderful time in a lovely home. Thank you!

If VRBO provides a property manager then their service is non-existent . The property manager did not return my calls when we found that the supplied lock box code did not work. The property owner,, on the other hand,, promptly responded to our message..

Beautiful home, nicely furnished, very well stocked with everyday items and very comfortable. Owners were very responsive.

We had a great stay and enjoyed seeing more of the Highlands area. All agreed that the very best part was time spent on the porch. We had younger children with us so we took advantage of the various meals to go that are available. The big table on the porch was perfect for our group and being outside(even during a few showers!) was special. Hope to go back again sometime soon.
4.8
I rented the house for 6 nights and had a great time with girlfriends the first half of the week and then with my grown children. The house was very convenient to downtown, well stocked and had an amazing covered outdoor space. I definitely plan to rent the house again!Kathryn

Very cozy rental. Everything you need. Great location, responsive owners, clean and very thoughtful planning about what guests need/want. We had a rainy visit but still had a great time visiting the area and hiking. The restaurants are great and the locals are super friendly. I’ll be back!

Perfect for families and so much space to spread out with den and porch

We stayed over Christmas. Upon arrival we were met with Christmas decorations and music playing. The house has everything you need. One of the best stocked rentals I’ve ever seen. Spices for cooking. K-cups. Waters (all of which we replaced prior to leaving). It was really nice to have things there to get us started. The property was exactly as advertised and interacting with the owners was a pleasure. The house was very clean and welcoming. The beds were insanely comfortable and the fireplaces were cozy! A perfect place to relax.

This property has an amazing outdoor living area complete with big screen tv, gas fireplace and very comfortable furniture. We spent the majority of out time enjoying the outdoors. The three king bedrooms were spacious and comfortable also. Would love to return next year!
