I love this property!! I love when my family and friends stay here when visiting me. It has the perfect rustic mountain vibe. Beautiful quiet and serene views. Debra in the office was amazing for check in and any issues that could arise. My only hope is that this hotel makes a bit more of an effort. It could be a diamond in the rough. I’d definitely stay here again.

I liked where it was. I liked everything it had to offer, pool, nice deck, sauna, jacuzzi, steam room, restaurant-bar, lots of trees, and lounge. And lady at desk was very very nice. What I didn’t like was the strong musty moldy smell of the place. Place is old and I know living in the mountains that there is a lot of mold and dampness. I was on bottom floor and maybe top floors may not be as bad. But I am sensitive to mold. They used dehumidifiers In The downstairs hallway. Even the lounge area smelly musty. I was going to stay two nights but one was enough. Actually was not looking forward to going back to my room after being out all day. Yes I opened outside door and turned off air conditioning. Also mentioned it to check in but was told that most all the rooms have that smell and yep it’s the mountains. And wasn’t offered to switch to another room. Which may not have been any better anyway. The bedding was damp too. This may not affect everyone but just an FYI for those that are sensitive to mold.

This is such a treasure to find these days! Reminds me fondly of a place my family went when I was young. It has everything you need and more. The food was excellent, people were super helpful and polite. It’s not modern, has a history but it is very comfortable and safe to me! I booked a return trip before I left.

Trip to the Playhouse in the Highlands
Room 121 was comfortable and clean but dated. Plenty of hot water for showers and soft water. Restaurant and lounge does not open until 5 or 5:30 as a result had dinner in town so we could attend a play at the playhouse that started at 8pm, upon returning we found the lounge closed already as 9 of us was hoping to have a little nite cap. Their loss I guess. Breakfast service was slow and 2 eggs, 2 sausage links and a biscuit was about $9 plus coffee. The .location however is beautiful. If they advertise it as a resort, act like it.
