Mountain chic cottage in the center of Downtown Highlands!

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!

Cozy and comfortable; great location for walking to town

Gabi and Goody did a great job of responding to our needs. We were the first people to stay in the house since the renovation and it was missing a few things which, when told, immediately took care of them. Would definitely recommend it for just a couple or a couple with small children.
