Amazing home located close to the heart of Highlands! The house was perfect for our entire family to come together and build memories together. The home is very spacious with plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked as well! We really enjoyed the porch with fireplace right off the family room. Wonderful property and the host could not have been more responsive. In fact, probably the most prompt host we’ve ever worked with, thanks!!

FABULOUS!! FABULOUS!! FABULOUS !! What a wonderful home!! Spacious home and very comfortable furniture with plenty of seating. The kitchen had everything you could want and much more. The porch was a favorite of all with a roaring fire on chilly days. With two bedrooms and baths on the main floor and two of each downstairs there was plenty of room to spread out. Only one step to get in the house with a two car carport You will not be disappointed!!! We hope to return Easy access to owner. Everything about this place is wonderful!!

Rosebay Cottage was a very serene, clean, and beautiful place to stay! Tucked into the woods with a nice mountain view. Well appointed with everything you’d need. The back porch was our favorite place to gather and enjoy the fireplace! We hope to return sometime soon.

Clean, well equipped and very functional kitchen. We only used the outdoor fireplace on their covered deck, which was fantastic!

We all loved the covered deck. Perfect for catching up, playing games and enjoying the fireplace. We didn’t expect rain all weekend but it didn’t matter. Plenty of space throughout the house. We’d definitely recommend to others. The grand finale was a visit by a huge mama bear and her three cubs. Could not have scripted it any better.

Home away from home! The loveliest rental home ever. Beautiful and very comfortable furnishings, super comfortable beds, big side porch, everything you could possibly need. Everyone in our party agreed that it was like being in someone’s very nice home - it doesn’t feel like a rental. I couldn’t recommend more highly!!!!
