Great Stay at Bubbly Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at Bubbly Cottage while attending a family wedding. The location was ideal for all of the events we attended.Although it was very warm while we were there, the AC units in the bedrooms made sleeping very pleasant. We did not cook while we were there, but it was nice to see that there were items left by other guests that we could have used.Very enjoyable time in Highlands.

great location

Enjoyed our stay - however there were minor issues that should have been addressed while we were there, most notably a non-working toilet. Received prompt response from property manager that someone would arrive to address the issues, but no one came. I did receive an apology and token compensation from the owner after the fact, which was appreciated.

Great Getaway!

We were in town for our son’s wedding and the house was a perfect location with all modern conveniences inside. All new appliances, well appointed kitchen and very nice baths. The outdoor sitting area next to the creek was lovely.

Scrupulously clean and decorated to perfection! The babbling book , fire pit and sleeping porch could have kept me satisfied all week . In fact, we hiked less and relaxed more because the environment was so enticing. Nice touches like my favorite wine and waters upon arrival made it extra special. I’ve already shared the link with two friends who are as fastidious as I am. That says it all.

Dreamy Getaway

There's no need to look anywhere else! This is our second time staying at Bubbly and we plan to return every year for a weekend getaway! Gabby does a wonderful job making you feel welcome and comfortable at her cozy cottage. The location to main street is a short walk to everything Highlands has to offer. The home is beautifully decorated!

Fantastic property!

We loved the house and property! It's situated on a creek and has a great small patio with a fire pit. It's stylishly appointed and extremely clean! It's also about a block from downtown, so it has a perfect location. We wouldn't hesitate to rent it again!

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!
