Highlander Mountain House

Highlander Mountain House

10/10 Excellent
"My friend and I had separate rooms with balconies in the annex, across from each other. It was perfect. Upon our arrival, the staff was friendly and eager to assist in any way. Shout out to Kingsley for helping us to our rooms and being extra helpful. The air conditioning was on and the small room was very clean. We had a lovely dinner in town and a nice walk to scope out the area. The morning coffee and banana bread was delicious and just enough to get us going early on our daily adventures. I cannot say enough about the location! We were able to walk to many new and exciting places. The biology center, stunning hikes, and various shops all were fabulous. Marylou at the historical society was a GEM and a wealth of information. The Highlander Mountain House was just what these 2 Northwest women needed for our 4 night getaway and introduction to the Southeast. Thank you!"
