We took our dog with us and she loved it! The cottage was perfect for two people and a large dog. We enjoyed the nearby dining and shopping and hanging out by the fireplace. It was too chilly to use the outdoor fire pit but would be great in milder weather. The screen porch has a lot of seating also. So perfect ! ##### laura g.

The screened porch is amazing. Very spacious with living and dining areas. The property is well appointed, although I will note that there is no dishwasher. That was not an issue for us as we dined out most afternoons and evenings. I would stay there again. The property and neighborhood was very dog friendly. Highlands also has a very nice dog park that is easy to get to from this property. ##### Mark P. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024
