We recently completed our 4th trip to HL Inn - it was another great experience. We have gone there for romantic weekends and prefer the Woodward House rooms with a fireplace for that type getaway. The Woodward House has a lovely kitchen for guests use - just be sure to clean up after yourself! For family trips we prefer the... more

We live 30 minutes away. We have stayed at Highland Lake on several occasions for a night or a weekend just because it is so lovely to be there. Season's Restaurant is our favorite place to eat out. They use produce from their extensive gardens for their dishes. Their young chef is amazing--there is always something different, and special to... more

I stayed here with my mom on sister for one night to look at homes in the area. I have a cabin in the mountains nearby, but had never visited this part of western NC and am so glad I have now. The resort reminded me of the movie Dirty Dancing when families used to "summer" in the mountains. There... more

The Biltmore and the Grove Park Inn have nothing on this place. These icons of the area are both very over-rated and over priced in all departments. I had just lived through a particularly grueling business week and was loaded down with stress, work tensions and frustration. A weekend getaway was the short term solution.

We got married down by the lake in front of the pine trees and it was gorgeous. We got so... more

We were in Wood Duck, a brand new 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottage. Downstairs is a fully-equipped kitchen, living room with flat screen tv, dining table and chairs and a bedroom... more

We just can't say enough about the Highland Lake Inn. We held my daughters wedding here in October !! We've attended several destination weddings at quality facilities, but none can match our Highland Lake experience. The magnificant rustic and scenic beauty of the property, the professionalism and proficiency of the staff, the sleeping and meeting room accomodation options, the fabulous... more

Highland Lake Inn was the site for our 2008 Fall Management and Sales Retreat for our company. They provided excellent resources for various activities, fabulous food at their Season's restaurant, and a professional and caring staff. I would highly reccommend this property to anyone looking for a truly unique experience. more

We really enjoyed the lake and I experienced my first paddleboat while my husband fished.there... more
