Julia H. May 8, 2025 08:33:31 PM
Summary: 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!

Summary: We enjoyed out trip to the Highlands. The cabin was clean and just as advertised. Close to everything. Well worth it!
Karen M. Apr 24, 2025 12:24:05 AM
Summary: Stayed here for a weekend and absolutely loved it! So cute and clean and host Andreea was very responsive from my initial contact. So close to downtown, right across the street from a wine bar and close to warerfalls. Would definitely recommend!

Summary: 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!

Summary: Great location in Highlands. Very clean and spacious bedrooms. The restaurant across the street was a treat!
L Glen L. Nov 11, 2024 06:14:07 AM
Summary: Well located Highlands cottage; tastefully rustic without being kitchy. Suited our needs (2 couples for weekend) perfectly.
Pat C. Sep 18, 2024 08:32:55 PM
Summary: 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.
Gale P. Sep 6, 2024 12:32:58 AM
Summary: 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.
