Pet friendly but multiple dogs off leash and owners letting them roam which seemed odd leash weren’t required. Property is pretty, rooms were ok minus flea bites I brought back. Said they offered pastries for sale in the morning but they were not there during our stay. Highly recommend staying on the 2nd floor vs the first floor. Positives: friendly staff and the restaurant on property was excellent.-staff at restaurant was amazing.

My wife and I had an amazing stay at The Skyline Lodge. The staff was incredibly friendly & helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall environment offered so much time for genuine bonding and adventure. From the time we got there, the receptionist, Arri, went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home and were taken care of. This will be our go to spot anytime we go to The Highlands.
