    The house was exactly as shown in listing. The kitchen setup was great - plenty of glassware and dishes if we wanted to cook. We spent a good deal of time by the creek with a fire going in the fire pit - it was very relaxing. The house is so close to downtown Highlands that you can walk or drive to a number of shops and restaurants. We had a minor issue that we reported and the host resolved it immediately. We will definitely be back to stay in the house at a future date.

    We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. Everything was as described. Brittany is a 5 star host. Very responsive and takes care of any issues you might encounter. We spent most of our time by the creek and the hot tub. Mornings and evenings we enjoyed the soothing sounds of the creek. We walked to the downtown area as well as hiked to numerous falls and sunset rock. The home is close to everything. Would highly recommend this cottage!

When we had trouble with the toilets, they had someone come out immediately to fix it. Super responsive hosts. The only suggestion I have would be making sure to have enough trash bags available and towels. Thank you so much!!

    Clean bedrooms, comfortable bed, shower doors need attention and could not use the front bathroom shower because of the door, so we slept in the back bedroom to be closer to that bathroom. Kitchen had everything that you possibly think of. The bubbly stream and the screen back porch was my highlight!

    We enjoyed our stay at Bubbly Cottage while attending a family wedding. The location was ideal for all of the events we attended.Although it was very warm while we were there, the AC units in the bedrooms made sleeping very pleasant. We did not cook while we were there, but it was nice to see that there were items left by other guests that we could have used.Very enjoyable time in Highlands.

    Enjoyed our stay - however there were minor issues that should have been addressed while we were there, most notably a non-working toilet. Received prompt response from property manager that someone would arrive to address the issues, but no one came. I did receive an apology and token compensation from the owner after the fact, which was appreciated.

    Scrupulously clean and decorated to perfection! The babbling book , fire pit and sleeping porch could have kept me satisfied all week . In fact, we hiked less and relaxed more because the environment was so enticing. Nice touches like my favorite wine and waters upon arrival made it extra special. I’ve already shared the link with two friends who are as fastidious as I am. That says it all.

    The property is just as pictured with sufficient space to accommodate two couples comfortably. The location is very convenient to downtown Highlands as well as local attractions and hiking trails. The beds were very comfortable and the split plan of the house allowed for privacy. The abundant supply of firewood was a great bonus. We cooked a few meals and the kitchen was adequately supplied, however it could use a reorganization and addition of pans and utensils. Communication was a negative. We asked if possible for early check-in or at least option to drop off food in the refrigerator and never heard a response until way after check-in time. We communicated when we checked-out and again never got a response. This did not spoil our vacation. We would recommend this home for two couples traveling together.

    We arrived on A Monday. We had 3 good days in the Highlands. Then Hurricane Helene hit. We had no power, cell service or internet. Our cottage was fine. Our hosts checked on us to make sure we were ok. Unfortunately we had to leave early because of the hurricane, but would definitely come back to Bubbly Cottage. The cottage was just a wonderful and comfortable place to stay. So close to town , but with the feeling of being in the woods. So sad we had to leave, but glad we had a few good days.

    We stayed at The Bubbly during a wedding weekend. It was perfect for two couples to share with two private bedrooms with en suite and a lovely shared common space and well equipped kitchen. Unfortunately, it was a drizzly awakens so we did not get to enjoy the fire pit area that is nestled next to a babbling brook however we did take advantage of the swinging beds on the screened back porch! We enjoyed a nice fire while watching football. Everything was perfection!

    From start to finish, this was a great experience. The host is a great commincator and you do not have to worry about being left hanging. A seamless check in process. The house is adorable, comfortable, clean, quiet and very nicely decorated. There are screened windows and fans in every room. There are window A/C units in both bedrooms and we did crank them up briefly at midday as it does sometimes get warmish even in Highlands. The kitchen is well equipped including a bottle of wine in the fridge waiting for you. I barely moved from the swings on the porch! As they say, location, location and this is the best one we've stayed at in many Highland vacations. We parked the car almost 100% and walked everywhere. The Adirondack chairs next to the bubbling brook will truly lead to a zen experience. We have already booked next summer and fall so better hurry!
