House was extremely tidy. Kitchen well stocked, which was a bonus for cooking at the house. Cozy comfortable bedrooms, updated bathrooms. Spent one rainy day at the cabin playing games, reading books, and watching a movie by the fire. About 5-7 minutes to downtown Highlands. Easy to pop into town for shopping, lunch, and dinners.We had one question and texted owners; they were quick to reply.I recommend this property and plan to stay again! ##### harriet c.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Page L. 3 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I went to my favorite mountain town with my family to celebrate a BIG birthday and ended up staying in my new favorite rental. The Stag is even better than it appears in photos, and Chris is a gracious and responsive host. The house has everything you could need and then some. We didn't look for a single thing we needed that we didn't find. Olive oil? Check. Old Bay seasoning. Check. Coffee. Check. And GOOD coffee, too. There's an entire drawer of Keurig pods. And creamer, too! Each bedroom had a mini-flashlight by the bed. Not that we needed them since the night lights are MOTION-ACTIVATED. I didn't even know those existed. We loved The Stag and are eager to return. My mom wanted to writer her own glowing review, but I told her we could submit only one. So, she submitted it to me and asked me to post it: A delightful stay in this exceptional home! The only complaint I have is that it was too hard to say “goodbye,’ close and lock the door for the last time. Owners have thought of everything! We’ve stayed in many a vacation rental over the years but never one where so many unexpected items were furnished. Beds and bedding are luxurious. Cozy and inviting living area, porch and outdoor spaces. Helpful host and prompt attention to a minor issue which was quickly resolved. Highlands is one of our favorite spots and now we have a new favorite home-away-from home there! ##### Page L.

The home was extremely clean and very, very well appointed both from a design and a guest convenience perspective. Everything was thought of for a pleasurable stay including an extensive coffee bar offering a selection of plain and flavored coffees, comfortable beds with beautiful soft linens and a well stocked kitchen with everything you may need to feel completely and comfortably at home.The lovely pictures in the VRBO website do not do adequate justice in conveying just how beautiful this property is.

Very clean and well equipped. Made extensive use of outdoor space. Less than a 10 min drive into Highlands. Bed in master suite was very comfortable. TVs in all rooms, and outside, was a bonus. Will definitely stay again if available. ##### Jeff K.

Everything was clean, beautiful and newly updated with no detail overlooked. LOVED the outdoor porch with TV and the firepit. So private and peaceful. It’s close to Main Street and we walked to Ranger Falls . There was nothing that the home did not have. The home is well laid out, with privacy for each bedroom. We loved lounging on the big sofa in the family room by the cozy fireplace. The attention to detail was fantastic.The bedding is amazing and comfortable! A clean and quiet, well maintained home in a peaceful and friendly neighborhood. I will stay here again as we love Highlands. Thanks Chris! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ---
