It was too cold.

Amazing gem in Highlands NC

10.0

Just an absolutely amazing place. Great decor and atmosphere. Our room was beautiful with cool wallpaper and decorations. Staff was always great. Food for brunch and drinks at all hours were the best in Highlands.

Parking was crappy but expected given the area. Pizza oven was down while we were there but fixed the day we left. Beyond no issues.

Warm, cozy, welcoming and beautiful

9.0

Loved the location, the feel and cleanliness. It was such a nice treat

The only negative which was out of anyone’s control was we were able to shower due to the pipes freezing. We only stayed for one night so it wasn’t a big deal.
