This lovely house in a terrific location was perfect for the six of us, who had not visited in a long time. The rooms/bathrooms were comfortable and clean, the kitchen worked great for our cocktails/snacks, the living room was the perfect spot for early morning coffee and chats. The porch with lovely fireplace made for a great after dinner place to cozy up with blankets for more catch up conversations. Truly a perfect place for us all to gather as we enjoyed Highlands!
We had a wonderful time at this house. The house is on a quiet, beautiful street. We spent most of our days on the porch enjoying the beautiful weather. Beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!
this was a great place for my brother, our wives and our dog. Large, clean, secluded, with plenty of room outdoors for our dog. Also very near multiple hiking areas with waterfalls and scenic views, and many choices of good restaurants. Thank you for having us!
The house had everything we needed and it was very clean. The negative was we planned to use outside fireplace as we bought firewood, but the porch was filthy & furniture covered in dirty sheets.
Great location to Highland restaurants, hiking etc. House was well stocked with essentials, the hot tub was clean and we also enjoyed the wood burning fireplace outside. Overall a great rental!
We loved the house and location for a vacation with our adult children. The house is well appointed and lives up to the listing. The only issue we had was the doors not locking upstairs, but we didnât have any kids so it wasnât a big deal. Communication with rental company was great. They were very helpful.
My husband & I enjoyed a great stay at Laughing Bear Lodge. The yard was perfect for the dogs & such a convenient location to town. Would recommend & stay again. We were welcomed with a surprise gift, much appreciated! Although we stayed on the main level there was lots of extra room.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious, as well as the closets. The house was very clean and well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. We loved the porch; though it was too chilly to use it as much as we would have liked. We will just have to visit again during a warmer time of year. Would definitely recommend this home!!
This place was amazing. We went up early on a Saturday and got right in. The hot tub was amazing and we had smores by the fire. We were able to bring our dogs which made it even more enjoyable. They loved playing in the yard. There is so much property for them to roam. We are planning on staying there next Memorial Day.
Hot tub is great. Location is great. House is spacious. Beds comfortable. Decoration items are a bit creepy for my taste - and you canât really see them on the pictures. Cleanliness should be improved, some spider webs in places and dishes not so clean. Feels like a few spots were missed when cleaning was done. To check-in/out, you have to go pick up the keys at office and bring back after. Not terrible but nowadays there are easier ways to check-in. Overall, house is fine for a few days.
Because VRBO kept rejecting my mild review I now label this rental bad.
Wifi is terrible and can be cured with $169 EERO or similar mesh system
Speaker on main TV is terrible and can be corrected with a cheap external speaker
They advertised that the hot tub does not work sometimes therefore I emailed the manager to confirm that it does currently work and they never responded. Got there and it was apparent it hadnât worked in some time. Heat didnât work downstairs and the temp inside was 56 degrees. Manager did bring us some space heaters which helped. Cobwebs seen all over the house. A tree had fallen on the roof and was left there Great location and could be an awesome property if it were maintained better
This property has potential. But looks very neglected outside and there is clearly a leak from the upstairs bathroom into the master bedroom closet where black mold was 2â x 1â staining the ceiling and the whole house is horribly musty. Master bedroom linens are 30+ years old and the bedspread I would not want to touch. Pillows are horrible. There is an extreme problem with the Bears the trash barrels that are not secured tied down. Did not appreciate the management making that our problem. Deck furniture is extremely old cushions need to be thrown out. Spiderwebs on the inside of the windows blinds and the whole outside of the house is pressure washing. Front steps are extremely dangerous and very very slippery when it was raining due to moss growing on them as well as The stone walkway going from the driveway to the front door. I would be very hesitant to ever use VRBO again.
Property was good except for the bed in downstairs bedroom. Very uncomfortable and difficult to move around in. Bed was low to floor and very soft mattress
Limited or no needed items which I normally find even in a motel.
Had to purchase the following items that are normally furnished in a rental facility: coffee filters, plastic trash bags, dishwasher soap, toilet paper--none in the house, waste baskets for some bathrooms, Kleenex, plus no Netflixâs in master bedroom.
The 4 of us all in our 50âs had a wonderful time. Luckily the Hot Tub was worked on almost immediately and we were thrilled! It rained hard one night and got chilly so we had the outdoor fireplace raging, had wonderful appetizers and drinks outside and then got in the hot tub! The owners or there employees kept in touch through texting which worked out great. We will be back!
