The beds, bathroom and kitchen were clean. We enjoyed the gaming systems a great deal. We also enjoyed to outdoor space with firepit and hammock. My kids enjoyed the outdoor toys and ability to fill up and small kids pool to play. Beach 1 was very close to the house but walking there would have been a challenge with 2 young kids on a somewhat busy road. Overall, we had a good time. The owner was quick in responding to my questions and concerns and made adjustments with our needs which was appreciated. I was not thrilled having to pay to use the washer and dryer and the home does need some updating.

K My family of 5 and 2 dogs were in the area for the wedding and this property was perfect for all our needs. Michael the host checked in with us upon arrival and ensured that we knew he was there if we needed him. In addition, the property was full of detailed instructions of how to navigate the household and how to stay safe. My children loved the coin operated arcade and by using quarters it limited their time (so they can go outside and enjoy the fresh mountain air!). Everything was just as Michael had outlined on VRBO and his emails. The mattresses were nice and comfortable, we had access to on site coin operated laundry facilities just for us in case we needed it, the air conditioning operated well, and the TV was big and provided us access to watch the Olympics and pretty much any thing else we wanted (something I was not looking for but really helped at night). We did not get a chance to explore the area as much as we wanted to (but don’t worry, we will be back), but we were able to walk the dogs around on a road behind the house that gave us beautiful views of the lake, we did notice that we had easy access to delicious Jersey pizza, and if we wanted, could go to the water park or legoland. Finally, having dogs, it was nice to have a fenced in yard and space to place our crates. Our dogs loved the new smells and were exhausted when we came back home. We are definitely going to stay here again and would definitely recommend this property for any one with a family of

Perfect weekend
My family was down for the Spartan race weekend. The property is in a perfect location for proximity to the mountain, as well as Beaches and playgrounds for the kids. It comfortably fit four adults and two kids, and the fenced yard was great for the dog. Michael is a thoughtful and responsive owner, and we are looking forward to staying again next time we are down.

Overall Great Stay, but some words of caution.
My stay here for an extended weekend was certainly nice. The cottage while on the smaller end is very nice from a design standpoint and the fenced in backyard is really amazing especially since Michael is extremely welcoming to dogs which we greatly appreciated. My experience with Michael was great and he made sure check in was easy and checked in on us after the first day at the cottage, really nice! I have to be 100% honest with my review despite having such a good experience with Michael, I have to say the listing is not totally accurate as the master bedroom does not have a memory foam mattress. My wife and I constantly fell into the middle of the bed, making sleeping difficult for us who are used to a firmer mattress. I have to also say that it’s very shocking to see a coin operated washer/dryer in the unit, with a cash machine, and a coin operated arcade game, all were a first for me in the many years I’ve been using rentals like this. And I mean good business, and definitely capitalism at its finest it’s just off putting and takes away from the charm you want when renting a VRBO. The only other issue happened on the second night there when the fire detector went off at 3am twice. It was also extremely hot, as the main thermostat was under a hotel style lock box, so while AC units are there, it battled with the heat, which I would assume costs more money then giving ppl access to the temp control but we made it work. Overall 4/5

Great Little Cottage
My husband is through hiking the Appalachian Trail and we needed a place to stay for a long weekend so he could rest. This cottage was the perfect place to stay. It’s located only eight minutes from the Stairway to Heaven parking area of the AT. The owner was attentive and answered all of our questions. The cottage had everything we needed. The fenced backyard was an added bonus so we didn’t have to take our two small dogs out on leashes. Thank you for a great stay!

For our small group, this was an ideal getaway for the Labor Day weekend. The backyard was fantastic, private and had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. It was totally fenced in, so we could let our toddler run freely without worry. There was an amazing firepit we used both nights of our stay and lots of chairs and tables.

Feeling Nostalgic
So we just got back home from our stay at Highland Lakes Cottage. The place was pretty much just as advertised and the perfect fit for our family (kids 9, 8, and 6). We loved being able to be "associate" members of the Highland Lakes community for the week. Our kids enjoyed taking part in the many activities they offered (both crafts and sports) and swimming in the lake. While at the cottage, our kids enjoyed playing catch and cornhole in the backyard and getting their video game fix at the end of a long day on the Xbox and PS4. We were also able to bring our dog and she enjoyed playing in the backyard and taking walks on the quite private streets surrounding the lakes. The best compliment we can give is that on the way home the kids asked when we can go back. Thanks Mike.
