About This Home

As of July 2020

When John Muir said "the mountains are calling and I must go" he could have been talking about this cabin. Located in the shadows of Mirror Lake lies this storied cottage, originally constructed in the 40's, on a large lot with an old syrup kettle fire-pit to gather around. The phrase "Family Friendly" is true here, with three upstairs bedrooms well-separated from a 4th bedroom on the main floor. Both full bathrooms have undergone renovations with tiled showers and more. The main floor living areas flow "Highlands Style" from the natural stone fireplace in the family room to the newly-tiled kitchen/dining area, the perfect place to enjoy coffee and breakfast, with plenty of natural light in every room of the cottage. Transition to several outdoor living spaces including a screened-in porch and covered decks front & back (bring rocking chairs). An Americana Looking single car garage, canoe storage, workshop completes this iconic in-town property. If you've had one visit to Highlands, by now you're hooked. The outdoor beauty is defined by it's multitude of offerings...Hiking, Fly Fishing, Canoeing, Paddle-Boarding, and Kayaking on Mirror Lake. Downtown Highlands with it's shop-til-you-drop retail, award winning restaurants, a Relais & Chateaux Inn and Spa (Old Edwards Inn), theatre, concerts, and Festivals captivates family, friends, and guests of all kinds.
