About this home

Adorable cottage on the deep water of Mirror Lake. Old Highlands charm but freshly painted, inside and out. Open floor plan with walls of windows for enjoying the expansive lake view! Granite kitchen with stainless appliances. Two bedrooms on the main level with a large suite on the lower level. Watch the leaves change from your deck as the trout gather at your own dock! The level lot is lovely with garden space if you so choose or the fire pit on chilly nights! Only 5 mins from downtown Highlands! Enjoy award-winning restaurants, art galleries, playhouses, Old Edwards Spa, and many events. Perfect location and has been a great rental in the past!
