Red Top Treehouse Cabin, walking distance to Mirror Lake and minutes to downtown

Enjoy a true mountain cabin lifestyle and getaway, within walking distance to Mirror Lake and Lake Sequoia and minutes to downtown Highlands. This perfect mountain cabin offers an upscale fully appointed kitchen, sure to delight gourmet chefs, cocktail experts, and appetites. Your kitchen opens to a lovely dining room, which leads to the soaring two story great room, with tongue and groove ceilings and a rustic stone fireplace for those cool Highlands nights. From the great room, step out onto the newly expanded deck with enough room for grilling and dining, as well as a cozy conversation area with a gas fire pit for relaxing with coffee, or a cocktail! A spacious master bedroom with a king size bed, and a fully stocked modern ensuite bathroom, leads to another walkout to the deck. A beautiful second bedroom with a queen size bed and its own nearby full bath, insure the comfort of the main level. The second level adds a large bonus room, queen bed and full bath. Enjoy the 70 inch smart TV which offers over 85 channels on YouTube TV, sports packages, Disney+, and movies galore! This loft is open to the great room and is perfect for an additional living area, sleeping area, and with room left over for an in-home office. Your perfect mountain getaway is located in the desirable Mirror Lake R2 district, within city limits, and only a few short minutes to bustling Main Street in Highlands. Enjoy strolling and eating your way through this quaint neighborhood or grab your fishing pole or canoe and enjoy the serenity of two nearby lakes and the many waterfalls of the Plateau.

Perfect mountain stay…
Our cabin stay was a perfect mountain interlude. It is a beautiful property and perfectly appointed with everything you could need. The bed was very comfortable, and my compliments to the housekeeper for the pristine condition of everything. We relaxed in front of the fireplace on rainy days and enjoyed the forest view and beyond from the comfortable deck chairs when the weather cleared. It’s a quick trip to town and near many beautiful waterfalls and scenic overlooks. I would definitely stay here again!

Honeymoon Stay
Perfect getaway for our honeymoon. The cabin was extremely clean and very spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and the bathrooms had plenty of towels and toiletries. Loved that it was so close to the town of Highlands. The owners made check-in very easy and gave us their phone numbers in case we needed to contact them, which we did not. We would definitely recommend this great cabin.

Terrific Time At the Red Roof Cabin
This is a great cabin conveniently located to everything around Highlands. It was absolutely the best stocked VRBO rental I’ve ever stayed at. Everything you might need while staying has been thought of and provided in the cabin. We had a terrific week and can’t recommend the Red Roof Cabin highly enough.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Joanne was fabulous and very responsive. The house was perfect for our week away and while it felt remote, it was only a few minutes from town. And the town of Highlands is magical. We loved every minute of it.

Very relaxing and comfortable
Our month long stay in this home was perfect. The house is well furnished and completely stocked with everything you would need. We especially enjoyed the deck and some evenings we used the outdoor fire - We rarely used the upstairs tv area as we were too busy walking and playing pickle ball and reading - a totally relaxing stay getting out of the heat at home. Owners were available if there were questions- I would highly recommend renting this property.

Perfect Highlands Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay the Redtop Treehouse! Highly Recommend! Very clean and comfortable. Great kitchen! It was so nice to have most all needed common pantry items provided. The attention to detail by the owners was very evident! Having been the owner of two beach rentals we know how much hard work goes into maintaining a high quality property. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with us!

Birthday celebration
This little mountain house was perfect for us to celebrate my birthday. Joann left me a bottle of champagne to help with the festivities!! How sweet. The kitchen is stocked full of anything and everything you could need to cook. The deck amazed with a perfect view of sunset and a fire pit. Not far from downtown Highlands, which had great shopping and wonderful restaurants. We enjoyed 4 days of hiking, rest and celebration. Thank you to Joann and Mike.

Wonderful place to stay!
Cute, clean cabin had lots of space & kitchen was well stocked. Fire place & outdoor fire pit were nice as it was cool at night. Bedding was the softest & king sized bed was comfortable. The road to get to the cabin was a little dicey in my husband’s big truck and you would need a truck or at the least all wheel drive in the winter time to get to the cabin. It was overall a wonderful place to stay & will def. keep in mind if we come back! Love the area!

Above and Beyond.
Our experience at the Red Top Treehouse was exceptional. It was almost like the owners had handed us the keys, walked out the door and asked us to take care of things while they were gone. Everything we could think of was there. There might be cabins in the Highlands area as good as this one, but none will be better.
