Description
Dream cottage on the Top of the Knob minutes from Main Street in Highlands. Enjoy a short hike to town for lunch or a day of shopping. Then relax in front of your stone wood burning fireplace and take in the wide open mountain views through the picture windows in the great room. Or enjoy your large partially covered deck that overlooks views of Big Bear Pen and Shortoff. If you are an early riser, then you have a treat in store for you. The view side of the property faces east so you can enjoy your coffee and danish watching the sunrise. There is nothing more peaceful. Added bonus is a clear view of the Highlands 4th of July fireworks from the comfort of your home with family and friends. Dining area and granite kitchen complete the living area. Three bedrooms and 2 baths offer guest privacy, each with a view of the mountains.
