Awful

2.0

Very bad experience. Very musty and dirty rooms didn’t get cleaned and we weren’t even told there was no maid service. They charged my credit card days after my visit without a call to explain my friends suspects bedbugs.— she had a rash on her face after three nights stay. And this place is not cheap, awful and ridiculous👎 👎👎

great ambiance.

10.0

Great ambiance, delightful staff, eccentric but enjoyable rooms, including a little library. We had a balcony which was very enjoyable for sitting and reading and having a coffee. Light, but fine breakfast to start the day included. Unlike so many hotels and B&Bs, this location has a genuine sense of history and character. Ideal location.

Magical & Historical Mountain Retreat

10.0

Don’t sleep on this Highlands, NC GEM!! This Boutique Inn is centrally located, and provides the absolute best of all worlds! Antiques and thoughtfully detailed decor throughout, bring your sense back through the many generations of this historical building. The homemade, service style breakfast is a delightful treat, as well as the comfort of the luxury mattress you sleep on! The staff, as well as the cookies and coffee in the evening, provide a social opportunity that leaves you begging for more.

Amazing and peaceful

10.0

This was a great place to visit. Great welcoming visit from the staff members. Place is very beautiful and unique with the style of the building and rooms. Place was a new experience that I had never seen. I would recommend anyone to go here if they want a nice peaceful stay. Beautiful outside area with water fountains and within walking distance for some great food and shopping.

Our trip was saved!

10.0

After a cancellation at Trailborn (was a nightmare) and a disastrous stay at the Dillard House 30 minutes away,)another nightmare) we found the Highlands Inn. Our first time visiting the Highlands was saved by our find and staying at the Highlands Inn. We were told by Trailborn there was no place to stay in Highlands but to our dismay there was room at the Highlands Inn. Trailborn never tried here!! We are so sorry we did not stay both nights here. We had an amazing 1 night stay! The people at the Inn could not have been more kind or helpful. The Inn was clean and full of beautiful Antiques! The breakfast was free and very good as the manager was walking around greeting and talking to everyone. She was super friendly and made us feel so welcome to the Highlands. They also put out warm cookies and coffee every night! The room was also very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We will definitely come back and make sure we stay at the Highland Inn. Thank you for a great stay!
