About this cottage rental
Bearly time cottage has it all! The tall ceilings and tastefully designed finishes throughout this home will captivate you. You will feel so secluded while still being just 2 blocks from all the incredible shopping and restaurants in Highlands. Hear the sounds of the water as you relax in the hammock after a long hiking day or just stroll over to dinner and a show at the Performing Arts Center in your high heels. Three bedrooms with 3 full bathrooms accommodate the whole family plus extra guests! So many places to enjoy outdoor living at its best. Large deck, fire pit and even a grilling deck all overlooking beautiful Mill Creek. Fun loft that kids will also want to explore. You will never want to leave...this is how we feel about this home and that's why we named it Bearly Time. There is never enough time for it all...even for the bears!

Our family go 5 had the absolute best time at this amazing cottage close to town. It was cozy and the perfect layout. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and outdoor fire pit by the creek. It was very close to downtown Highlands where we walked to restaurants and shops. We loved the free ice skating that was within walking distance. The kitchen was well stocked. The host was very helpful and informative. This cottage exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to go back! Such a fun place to unplug and enjoy quality family time!

Excellent location within a short of walk of main street. Not a far drive from scenic hikes. Janet, the property manager, communicated frequently and was very responsive. We only had one issue - this dishwasher was on the blink. Otherwise, we would definitely try to stay at this property again on our next visit to Highlands.

This cottage absolutely made our first trip to Highlands as special as it was. Honestly I kept thinking how lucky we were to have snagged it.We are a family of 6 and we had plenty of room. The cottage provided everything we needed, with lots of extra toilet paper, paper towels, and basic toiletries. The kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable (with extra blankets, which was appreciated!) We were so close to downtown and the weather was mild enough that we walked a lot of places: downtown to shop, to Founders Park for ice skating, to mountain fresh grocery, etc. When we weren’t exploring the town or hiking one of the MANY scenic trails that Highlands/Cashiers has to offer (we recommend Whiteside mountain and sunset rock especially), hours were spent puzzling, playing games, and sitting by the indoor fireplace. Equally as charming was the outdoor property- we brought hammocks and strung them up by the creek, and enjoyed s’mores at the fire pit! It felt likewe were in our own little oasis tucked away in the heart of Highlands. Next time we visit the area, this will be the first place we look to book!
