The cabin was perfect! So clean, spacious and amazing location to town! We took a long weekend with our 6 month old before I went back to work from MAT leave and this was the perfect spot. Could easily walk to town, hikes and a ton of space! Management was easy to contact and when we had a thermostat issue, they quickly came out and fixed it! Highly recommend and will be staying there again!

I decided to bring my small work team to the Highlands since we are all remote employees. It was the best decision and we all enjoyed the location walking everywhere. Even though it wasn’t “in-season” every place was hopping. It was very quiet and super clean interiors. We will all be back again when season opens back up. We walked to Wolfgang’s for dinner and had a great lunch at the ugly dog public house and the server was absolutely incredible. The grayling cottage was such a great little find. Three bedrooms with bathrooms! Huge plus especially since we all valued our own privacy. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms and kitchen were spotless! The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast each morning. I cannot say enough about this rental. We had plenty of room to spread out and a big table to have our laptops opened enjoying conversation! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home! We will definitely be back!!

The Grayling Cottage is an ideal location for those who want to be able walk around downtown and never get in the car. We walked to dinners, shopping, the Old Edwards Inn spa and even some nearby trails for a hike. There's a great restaurant/bar called The Stubborn Seed located directly across the street. The steps to get up to the house are steep and rugged and could be a challenge to people carrying large bags or heavy groceries, or for those who aren't mobile. There was some light road noise, but that's to be expected from a house so close to town. The house was comfortable and had all the basics for an enjoyable trip. We are giving the management company 3 stars for 2 reasons: First, I contacted them in advance to inquire if the house provided hair dryers so we would know whether or not to pack them. The email response stated that all bathrooms had hairdryers. (Just fyi, the room with the 2 twin beds did not. This isn't a huge deal but could've been avoided with better communication) Our second issue was that the gas fireplace would not operate while we were there. We followed instructions very carefully in the house manual but had no luck. We contacted management twice, but no one offered helpful information. We were told they would "try" and send someone out but never heard from them again and they didn't respond to a subsequent message. This was a big disappointment considering the weather was chilly. A fire would have made the weekend complete.

The cottage was so cute and had a great layout for our family. The deck was nice for morning coffee. The best part is the location! The cottage is an easy walk to everything in downtown Highlands.

We enjoyed the home’s location. It was so easy to walk to town. Everything was nice and clean. The bed sheets need to be replaced with new linens. The only other negative was . The 14 front steps made it very difficult to enter the house with luggage & groceries. Much too steep for older guests.
