The house was comfortable in every way with meticulously delivered details of hospitality. The decor is beautiful and signals that the owners fully expect guests will take care of the property. The back porch is a dream with a peaceful water feature. The sitting g room was my favorite! "

Communication was efficient and clear. We are so appreciative of their willingness to accommodate a last minute adjustment in our dates due to the need to get back home before severe weather arrived. Can’t say enough good things about this property and Gabi and her team!"

"The furnishings were of good quality, and this could be a nice accommodation. However, the pictures did not fully represent the unit. The unit requires significant upkeep and a deep cleaning. Upon arrival at 6 PM, after a six-hour drive, we had to unload in 30-degree weather—only to find that I had to scrub the bathrooms before we could use them. The tub and floors were filthy. As both of us are disabled, this was an especially distressing experience. The bathroom towels were so thin they...

"This home is a unique and historic property that has been beautifully maintained. It is charming and has several outdoor areas to enjoy the waterfall and running water. Many sleeping areas for a large group and 2 living areas. The house is 3 levels, with narrow stairwells which could be an issue for the elderly or toddlers. It is a short drive to town and the beautiful Dry Falls are just a few miles away as well. We would highly recommend this property if visiting the Highlands! "
