My husband and I enjoyed our 5 night stay. The back porch is very small and not really a place to sit and enjoy. The front porch is nice, but the house faces the road as you will see in the photos. The home is small but updated/modern and comfortable.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location. The house was clean and well equipped with what we needed to make our stay comfortable and the management was very responsive to anything we needed. However, it is not a good place for older adults or those with handicaps. It needs a driveway closer to the house. It’s a struggle up the hill with luggage and such. As its name implies, it’s a hiker’s house.

We had a great stay at the Happy Hiker... just visiting for the weekend to see the Highlands Motoring Festival and see some waterfalls. Highly recommend this place for a small family!
