The other bathrooms worked just fine! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny E. 13 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Convenient! We had a lovely stay at this house that is literally 2 minute walk from the main street in Highlands. Beautiful quiet location with a creek right outside the back door. Screened in porch allows a quiet relaxing place to sit and listen to the water sounds. A bit dated bathrooms but very clean and well appointed. Property manager was VERY accommodating and extremely responsive. Would definitely stay again! ##### Jenny E. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Heather G. 31 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice Place Enjoyed our stay at Witts End. House was spacious and clean. Fireplace was lovely. I would stay there again. however, for what it costs the driveway and parking area are lacking. One way drive way makes coming and going tricky as there are multiple units along the drive, and parking spaces are limited and tight. It is also not paved, we happened to be there when there was a couple days of rain and it was quite muddy and you couldn't get in or out of your car without stepping in mud or water puddles, not so good for the footwear. Also, the tv situation in the bedrooms could be better, our room had a vintage computer monitor connected to dish network. In the modern era it's standard to have larger, and smart tv's, would've been nice to have better tv setup. ##### Heather G.

Super location with easy walkability to down town Highlands. Fresh paint and new carpet would go a long way in lifting this property up. ##### Lisa D.

Our two kids and dog loved playing in the creek. The cabin is located within walking distance to downtown and short driving distance to many of the waterfalls. ##### Seth P.

Very open and clean, we were four adults and we felt very comfortable and not crowded. Well stocked kitchen with extras such as seasonings and plenty of utensils and cookware. The beautiful sounds of water flowing in the creek heard from the deck and screened porch were nice. It was also nice to be able to bring our dogs with us! Highly recommended. ##### David B.

Good communication with the rental company when we had a problem with the downstairs A/C, but no resolution while we were there. It was ok since it was cool out. The house is big with lots of room, and the back porch has a beautiful view of the river. ##### Wendy M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Karin S. 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This home is close to town and has a nice back porch where you can hear the river, however, you cannot access the river because the lower part is grown up in vines. We were uneasy because the bottom level of home was not accessible to us.(but could be by someone else) Home did not have a designated parking spot. We had to walk to front of drive /road at office so our dogs would have a place to potty or down the street at dog park. I do not feel this is a dog friendly property because of this,especially at night. ##### Karin S. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chad B. 29 Nov 2024 ##### Chad B.
