    Need more instructions as to check in and what to do with trash on checkout. Tv needed instructions. Would have been nice to have deck viewing if the small lake.

    This is a great place to stay for a few nights. Right on Franklin it was easy to find and close to all happenings in Highlands.

    The location is great and the size is just right for 2. However, we had to leave early due to mold/mildew smell. We have a small place on a lake and understand that this can happen, but if it is maintained properly it can all but be eliminated. We noticed a damp rid but it had not been changed out in some time. We were only able to stay the one night, which in all fairness is an expensive one night stay. Not sure if the owners would be willing to comp us one night??

    The home is beautiful, well appointed, clean and located in very close to town. Garrard has been extremely accommodating and easy to deal with.

    Very close to town and venue for a wedding we were there to attend. No frills but quiet and adequate accommodations for a short stay.

    Close to town but a car is definitely needed to get there. Rustic but it fit our needs for the purpose of the trip.

    Very clean! Great view. Tv didn’t work all weekend but owner tried to fix issue. Not a fancy place but had most everything we needed. Best part was visiting Highlands for the first time. Great restaurants and shopping. We visited Cashiers and Lake Toxaway saw beautiful waterfalls!

    The location was great and check in/check out was seamless. The house however had a damp odor, know that it’s on the water and the air wasn’t on when we got there, we thought the AC would help. After the first night the dampness was bothering my husband’s

    This cabin was exactly what we were looking for in a quick weekend trip. It was exactly as described on a relaxing portion of Mirror Lake. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and conveniently located to downtown Highlands and multiples hiking trails. We enjoyed our stay!

    The house was clean and the process was simple, but it wasn’t quite what it is portrayed as being. It’s an old house and smells musty, it’s right off a main road, and it’s not like you’re opening your back door to the lake bc you have to walk around the house but it’s not a very natural walk. It is very close to downtown which is fantastic and it was quiet. The bedroom was great as it’s a newer add on. Overall we had a nice time, just not totally what I was expecting.

    This little cabin is older with a nice bedroom that is a new addition. The interior has several steps so be aware of that. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The location was super. Thanks so much!!

    Nice accommodations for our anniversary trip. Was able to access lake to paddleboard which was great and really close to downtown highlands. You can’t walk there but it’s a 2 min drive. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is there’s definitely some moisture in the place which caused a lot of allergy symptoms for me during our stay.

    We had a great stay from Thursday through Monday. The landlord originally allowed us to extend our days from Sunday to Monday while the guest house is small and only has a queen bed. It has a pretty outdoors, a grill and the serene calmness of mirror Lake. The standup shower and two doors are tight in the bathroom, but this is a value stay.

    My wife and I stayed here for our 20 year anniversary. It was great. Mirror lake is right off the back deck and is so peaceful. It’s also located close to some great trails and waterfalls. Downtown is only a mile away with some great restaurants. We would stay again for sure.

    The house needs to be finished. Multiple light switches that don’t work or not connected. The couch has seen better days and is hard to get up from.
