Thoughtfully designed with unique wall art and paintings
Cozy living area with a fireplace, perfect for chilly mountain evenings, a warm, inviting atmosphere to unwind after a day of exploring.

The cottage features two charming bedrooms and two bathrooms. The downstairs bedroom offers a King bed, smart TV, and a detached full bathroom. Upstairs, the spacious suite includes a King bed, two Twin beds, a smart TV, and an en suite full bathroom. This layout is perfect for small groups, two couples, or families seeking comfort and privacy.

Amenities: Our cozy cottage is designed for you to rest, relax, and recharge. Enjoy all the comforts of home, including 3 Smart TVs, Nest thermostats, a gas stove, full-size fridge, dishwasher, and fully stocked kitchen tools. Stay cozy with a one-button gas fireplace and take advantage of the full-size washer and dryer. Outside, unwind at the patio table with a 3-burner gas grill, perfect for outdoor dining.

Location: We’re just 1.5 miles from town, meaning you can reach Main Street in under 5 minutes. Explore dozens of high-quality shops and restaurants, and enjoy seasonal festivals and concerts, all just moments from your doorstep!

Safety: We have a circle driveway—please pull forward onto the street rather than backing out, as Highlands’ curved roads can create blind spots. To keep wildlife away, do not leave trash or food outside overnight. We’ve provided two bear-proof trash cans for your convenience.

Pets: we welcome dogs, so your furry companion can enjoy the mountain getaway too! Please add them to the reservation.

    The location is great to Main st and Falls. The house is very nice, clean and cozy. Cross street has a nice restaurant which add on for the long journey travelers. Two minutes has barbecue restaurant. We have a wedding at old Edwards farm, only 7 minutes away. highly recommended. Will go back to the house for vacation. Thank you for the owner giving detail info.

    We had the loveliest stay at this beautiful and thoughtfully appointed cottage! The location couldn’t be more convenient. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable, the living space cozy, the kitchen well stocked— we cooked several meals and every instrument we needed was there. The communication before and during our stay was excellent, and we particularly appreciated the easy checkout process that made our exit much easier with two kids under 5 years old. We cannot wait to return!

    Charming cabin with a cozy atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the gas fireplace, which we used each morning and evening. Our friends stayed in the downstairs bedroom while we had the spacious upstairs room; both were exceptionally clean and comfortable. The kitchen is small but very well equipped, with a wide variety of coffee-making options. Conveniently located near shops and great restaurants, making it an excellent place to stay.

    Great property with ample room for 2. Love the restaurant across the street and proximity to downtown Highlands. Hosts were incredibly responsive. Only downside was invasion of ants in kitchen, the hosts promptly had local cleaning lady bring traps.

    We had a great trip to highlands to hike the beautiful waterfalls in the area for my teenage son’s spring break. The cabin was beautiful and minus a couple of small hiccups, was exactly what I was looking for. The front door would not lock from the outside, however it did lock from the inside and there was a second entrance. The owner was extremely responsive to my concerns and I will happily stay there again! 9/10 highly recommend!

    My sister, nephew and I had a very enjoyable time in the Author’s Cabin. The only drawback is that we were on a main road and traffic in the am was a distraction. The fireplace is very cozy and really heats the entire cabin. I would recommend it to anyone!

    We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was everything advertised. The downstairs bedroom is cooler than upstairs but probable only applies in the peak summer months. The only downside is there is really nowhere to walk your dog. And you have to be on your game when exiting the driveway. But overall we would stay there again.

    This property was perfect for our two day jaunt. For two adults, who didn't want to drive far at night for dinners, the location was perfect. It is close to town, Bridal Fall, Dry Falls, and not too far from Secret Falls.

    Located less than two miles from town, the cabin is also directly across the street from, as a chef what I consider the finest restaurant in Highlands-On the Veranda!
