    Cabin in the woods feeling but minutes from Highlands. All modern appliances. Fans are modern and quiet. Lowest temp was 55 but heat barely came on so I suspect well insulated. New windows and appliances. We didn’t watch TV but very small TV. Good response from management when needed.

    House was great as was the location. Super close to downtown Highlands and had everything you needed for a long weekend. Quiet neighborhood comfortable beds and 2 back decks to enjoy being in nature. Glad was super easy to work with and extremely responsive. Would recommend the Spotted Owl for your next stay in Highlands.

    I somehow booked for the wrong dates, and when I arrived to check in, there was already someone there at home. I called the host right away, as I was confused. She called me back promptly, understood my situation, and worked with me to find a solution. after about 30 minutes. she found a property that wasn't ready for checking, but she had her team go and get it ready, within 2-3 hours I had a place to stay for the weekend. and she didn't even charge me for my mistake. I would stay at one of her properties again. Not to mention that the house was clean, beautiful, and much bigger than I had booked originally.

    This was our first visit to Highlands and we loved it! The cabin was exactly as described. Great location, close to town but also felt like we were in the woods. Easy check in, and the house was immaculate. Comfy beds. We didn’t do any cooking on our 3 night stay, with so many great places to eat out, but the kitchen was well equipped.

    Loved our short stay in Highlands here. Such an easy walk to town, even with our stroller! The house was a classic cabin feel, and super clean. We loved the touch of the towels and even toilet paper tied into bows. It was perfect for our family of 3! I will say the stairs inside are a little steep, so just be aware of that. The bedrooms are on the basement level and the living is on the main level. We didn’t mind this at all. Would definitely recommend this place!
