Nice weekend getaway

Really enjoyed this cute little cottage right on the lake. Brought our 3 year old to visit family. Nice bedrooms. Gorgeous deck. Really good communication from the owner as far as directions and such. Would go back for sure.

Lakefront Stay

We only came into town for a wedding, but we loved the lakefront cottage! It's an older home, but it was well kept and suited our needs perfect. We're hoping to "jump in the lake" the next time we stay. Thank you Jeanne for allowing us to check in early...we look forward to our next stay!!

Awesome lakeside property

Jeanne was wonderful to work with and very responsive when we booked our last minute get away. Location is ideal - we brought our kayaks and very easy launching area. Would definitely not hesitate to come back to the same spot. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Perfect Fall Getaway

My husband and I recently enjoyed a weekend at the Cottage at Highland Lake and would highly recommend it. The host gave excellent detailed directions, check in was easy, and the cottage was clean and exactly as described with a fully remodeled upstairs. There is a small deck off the master bedroom and a really nice size deck off the first floor, both overlooking the lake. Best of all is the location. The cottage is right on the lake and has a dock. Overall just a perfect weekend escape!
