The quaint, lake town cottage is just a few short minutes from several private community beaches and sits on a quiet lot off the main country road.

The house was originally put up as a single room summer escape. In 2021, we finished a complete gut renovation. The finished house was recently featured in Dwell magazine.

We've provided modern luxuries for our oasis in the woods while maintaining its quaint feeling!

Summer Guests enjoy several beaches with lake access in the community. Guests can have access for a small fee required by the HOA. Surrounded by forest, there is plenty of hiking in the area as well.

Winter guests enjoy lots of skiing & tube activities nearby:

6 min - Winter 4 Kids
10 min - Mountain Creek Resort
20 min - Mount Peter
32 min - High Point Cross Country Ski

    We had a wondeful time in the Highland Lakes cottage. The property was very clean and cozy.The host was very responsive and pleasant to communicate with.We'd have no hesitation staying there again for our next NY/NJ family vacation.

    Fourth time here. We love it. Small but modern decor gives it air. All the amenities a family might need. We cooked in, ate out, used the beaches. It was great.

    Our stay overall was great! The house is perfect for a family, large backyard for kids, and communication with the host was top tier.

    House was immaculate, comfortable and beautiful. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had anything you could need and the location was perfect! The loft was especially comfortable!

    We had another wonderful holiday staying for the 2nd Christmas at this house. We travel from out of state to be near family for the holidays and the house is nestled near the lake but close to major roads for travel. It’s well stocked and nicely decorated. The owner had great communication with us. Thanks again for sharing your lovely home with us

    We recently tried to stay this property and was extremely disappointed with our experience. The property was not well-maintained, with ankle-high grass, spider webs, and ants inside the house. The backyard was littered with empty water bottles. Additionally, the listing description was misleading, as it advertised a three-bedroom loft, but upon arrival, we found it to be a two-bedroom loft. This was especially problematic for our elderly family members. We contacted the host to address these issues but were unable to reach a satisfactory resolution. As a result, we had to vacate the premises and find alternative accommodations for the rest of our trip. The property clearly hadn't been properly inspected by the host, and the pictures did not accurately reflect the reality. This was a highly disappointing experience, especially considering the long distance we traveled. I would not recommend this property to others. The discussion with the host was respectful yet disappointing.

    The cottage is gorgeous, from inside it feels so big and spacious. My teenage loved it. My husband and brother couldn’t resist barbecuing. Is a great place to stay.

    We love coming here with our adult children and our grandchildren. The design of this small house is perfect for the 7 of us. We cook here, shop nearby, enjoy the amenities of the clubhouse and beaches by the lakes. It’s perfect for all of us and the hosts are terrific. Looking forward to next year.
