My friends and I had a wonderful time at the Estes Cottage. The home is beautifully decorated and welcoming. The well-equipped kitchen and outside porch were highlights. The beds were very comfortable. The reason I gave this home a 4 instead of a 4 is the 4th bedroom in the basement was a disappointment. We had to draw for it and felt bad for my friend who had to sleep there. While I can see that the owners tried their best to make this as welcoming as possible, it was not clear in the listing that this bedroom is on the lower level with cinderblock walls and a toilet. I think this would be find for a family traveling with kids, but for 4 women expecting equal accommodations it fell shore on this point. I'll note that there was a walkout from this level but it still felt like a basement. Otherwise the house is really great and we really had a great time.

Wonderful property! Clean, beautifully decorated, spacious and had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation! Beautiful surroundings as well! Highly recommend this property for a family get together.

The Estes Cottage is a beautiful house centrally located near Highlands. The house is very well furnished with all the equipment needed and very comfortable. Loved the layout and the bedrooms. I would defiantly recommend this home to all my family and friends who make a trip to Highlands!

This experience was perfect from start to finish. The cottage is just gorgeous — the decor is flawless, beds are comfortable, and provisions are thoughtful and complete. I don’t have a single complaint.

Lovely property. Smaller home, kids were afraid to sleep in basement room, but a lovely house. Kitchen stocked well, we cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner and had everything we needed!

We had the best time at this rental! It was by far the most well-appointed VRBO rental I have stayed in. Every thing you need for cooking and drinking! Plenty of space for 8 adults to lounge, dine, and sleep. We will be back!

You will find everything you need in this house We were comfortable ~ the porch is fabulous. it’s on a quiet street not far from town

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cottage was absolutely adorable and comfortable! The location is fantastic and close to Main St. which is a huge plus. Will be booking here again in the near future! A couple of tips: There is no Kuerig coffee maker, only a drip one. The description listed a Kuerig so I brought k-cups. This cottage is chilly so pack warm pajamas! Also, fireplace is wood burning without a gas starter. Bring kindling/fire starters to easily start your fires. Overall our family loved staying here and we will be back!!

Beautifully decorated property and very clean! Quiet surroundings which makes for a very relaxing stay. Everything promised was there and working!

Excellent

We so enjoyed staying at Mirror Lake! The decor was absolutely beautiful. It was so cozy and quiet . The Molton Brown products were a special touch and it was the perfect getaway for our family of four.

This cottage is perfect! Beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Cozy and small but plenty of space for a perfect getaway. Would return and highly recommend!

The home was lovely, beautifully decorated, with plenty of room for our family of five. Would be hesitant to book again in the winter as home is located on a steep, poorly grated gravel road. Fortunately for us we had beautiful weather so no issues.

Loved the screened porch and bedrooms and baths were top notch. A little cottage garden welcomed us as we drove in.

My family of 6 (plus our dog) absolutely loved our stay. The home was appointed so beautifully, exceptionally clean and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed and overall it was just perfect! Hope we can return soon!

Good experience

We loved staying at this property! Beautifully decorated and situated in a very quiet, peaceful setting yet close to town. Highly recommend this lovely home!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is close to Highlands, so easy to drive in to town; but be aware that part of the roads are not paved, only gravel. We were fine even driving a sedan; however the road was 100% better after the county grated it a day after we arrived. We would definitely stay there again. I can’t say enough about Highlands Cove Realty. They were awesome to work with from prior to booking and all during our stay. Each person went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. I highly recommend their company for any rental property in the Highlands area!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent place to stay. The layout of the house gave everyone a lot of privacy and kept the noise from one side of the house away from the other. Kitchen was very nice, fully functional. My only suggestion is to add something capable of accessing Netfix.

The place was spotless when we arrived; beds were extra comfy, and the kitchen was well appointed. We would love to return.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that the pictures were a true depiction of the home as sometimes that is not the case when renting a vacation home. We will definitely be back to the beautiful mountains of North Carolina and we will definitely rent this charmer again!

Reviewer Comments: Overall we enjoyed our 3 wks stay at the renovated cottage in the Mirror Lake subdivision. It was quite peaceful up there at the dead end of the road and in the woodsy environment. The cottage was very nicely furnished, and comfortable beds. Our one gripe: too many decorative pillows on the beds and not much space to put them when getting into bed. The gravel road(about 1/3 mile)up to the cottage was a bit of a challenge for the first couple of weeks until a big scraper machine came and straightened out the deep washed out places. -They had had a lot of rain this summer.- We had a couple of issues where we needed help/advice, and each time the manager responded promptly. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Overall a wonderful rental. Thanks would definitely recommend it to family and friends!!
