Mill Creek Cottage - Heinrich

You don’t have to choose between the serenity of a luxurious mountain retreat and the convenience of an in-town location. Both can be yours at Mill Creek Cottage. This newly furnished three-bedroom, three-bath home is nestled in a wooded setting beside the soothing waters of Mill Creek. Yet the fine shops and restaurants of downtown Highlands are just a five-minute walk from your front door. Enjoy the sophistication and stimulation of this exquisite mountain town, then unwind in your hot tub overlooking the creek. Mill Creek Cottage is fully equipped and furnished. Just bring your suitcase and toothbrush, and enjoy the vacation of a lifetime. Read the traveler reviews below and see for yourself!

Main level has a Master bedroom suite with a King-sized Bed and a guest bedroom with a Queen bed. Beyond the bedrooms, the home opens up into a greatroom with vaulted ceilings, a gas log stone fireplace, updated kitchen and dining, and access to a screened-in porch and grill deck overlooking the creek. Upstairs is a second Master Suite with a King-sized bed and its own luxurious private bathroom.
A short walk down the hill marked with stepping stones will bring you to the lower deck where a hot tub awaits just above the bank of the creek, overlooking the water and the firepit area that sits below.

Great family weekend
We loved the coziness and convenience of this cabin, but what ultimately sold our children was the amazing creekside area! They played for hours.

Best Highlands location ever!
This cottage is in an amazing location. It is only a very short walk to town and restaurants, but you feel like you are in the woods when you are at the cottage. The cottage is exactly as advertised. It is wonderfully stocked and very nicely furnished. Both master baths are very nice. The kitchen is more spacious than most, and the house appears to have been renovated in the not-too-distant past. he screened in deck is amazing, we enjoyed the spa, and adjacent creek adds to the ambiance. There are also hiking trails nearby -- you can take an easy hike all the way to Mirror lake. We have been to Highlands many times, and this is clearly our favorite location.

Mill creek Ln. Highlands
The cabin was nice and spacious. I appreciate that some of the basics - paper towels, coffee, spices, etc. we’re there. The fire pit my the stream was nice. It is a longer walk to town than I thought, and sidewalks were not always there. The cabin was clean but the ceiling fans were very dirty. My daughters got in the hot tub last night and said it was disgusting and ran for the shower.
