Perfect cottage!
Bubbly was the cutest cottage. The space is well thought out and decorated well! The outdoor area is equally as well done! It is so close to town but you feel as if you are isolated. It’s the perfect spot! I wish we could’ve stayed longer but definitely hope to visit again!

NYE in Highands
The property is just as pictured with sufficient space to accommodate two couples comfortably. The location is very convenient to downtown Highlands as well as local attractions and hiking trails. The beds were very comfortable and the split plan of the house allowed for privacy. The abundant supply of firewood was a great bonus. We cooked a few meals and the kitchen was adequately supplied, however it could use a reorganization and addition of pans and utensils. Communication was a negative. We asked if possible for early check-in or at least option to drop off food in the refrigerator and never heard a response until way after check-in time. We communicated when we checked-out and again never got a response. This did not spoil our vacation. We would recommend this home for two couples traveling together.

Great location and great house for our first time to Highlands. The house was perfect. Best part of our stay might be the bear that visited us twice while sitting around the fire pit in the late afternoons. Very cool!

Beautiful home with all the conveniences. Loved the fire pit with the creek and waterfall in the backyard. The porch was awesome. Short 5 - 10 minute walk to downtown Highlands for shopping and restaurants. Property Manager was awesome. Everything was perfect for our trip. We hope to return again and again!

Hurricane Helene
We arrived on A Monday. We had 3 good days in the Highlands. Then Hurricane Helene hit. We had no power, cell service or internet. Our cottage was fine. Our hosts checked on us to make sure we were ok. Unfortunately we had to leave early because of the hurricane, but would definitely come back to Bubbly Cottage. The cottage was just a wonderful and comfortable place to stay. So close to town , but with the feeling of being in the woods. So sad we had to leave, but glad we had a few good days.

Sweet Mountain Getaway
We stayed at The Bubbly during a wedding weekend. It was perfect for two couples to share with two private bedrooms with en suite and a lovely shared common space and well equipped kitchen. Unfortunately, it was a drizzly awakens so we did not get to enjoy the fire pit area that is nestled next to a babbling brook however we did take advantage of the swinging beds on the screened back porch! We enjoyed a nice fire while watching football. Everything was perfection!

Beautiful Bubbly!!!
We were in Highlands for our daughter’s wedding. From top to bottom inside and out the cottage was perfect. The space was larger than I expected and the beautiful back porch deck and garden by the stream was a perfect way to start our day. I was able to walk to town and our family really felt welcomed in your home. . We can’t wait to return and we so appreciated your hospitality.
