Top Highlands Hotel Reviews

In-Town Luxury 2 Br Apartment - 205 S. 4th Street

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for our daughters wedding at old Edwards. We wanted to be close to our guests yet not run into everyone all the time. This place was the perfect spot for us. Very convenient to everywhere we were headed. The place was clean and filled with snacks and amenities. The host was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We would love to come stay sometime again!!"

Outpost Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was totally unexpected. The personal touches that they add are enchanting! Each room is unique and the thought behind them is incredible. They offer a coffee bar during the day and a wine bar in the evening. We were even able to have a free movie outside with popcorn! This is an amazing place! The lobby is like a public living room and there are seating areas with firepits in multiple locations. It is totally walkable to downtown Highlands . . which is so charming! Stay here!"

The Roost - Original 1925 Joe Webb cabin.

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin surpassed our expectations. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The kitchen was fully equipped. We enjoyed the gas log fireplace also. It is near Mirror Lake that is beautiful. We highly recommend this 101 year old cozy cabin. The host responded immediately. Very pleasant"

Cozy Yet Modern Cottage. Pet Friendly. 1.3 Miles to Town. Mountain Views.

10/10 Excellent

"The host was thorough in describing the check in/out process and very responsive. the cottage was very clean and everything we wanted to visit was less than 10 minutes away. There was plenty of space for four adults and the views of the mountains were amazing!"

The Lodge That Ruins Every Other Rental For You | Laughing Bear Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very well equipped and beautiful. I wish we could’ve spent more time there, but we were too busy exploring this beautiful town. The house is appointed for entertaining or just cozying up by the fire and watching a good movie. So many different nooks of the house which made it easy to read a good book, sit by nature or sit near the fire in a hottub. It was close to town. which was perfect. We will definitely be coming back here. Peaceful, beautiful and comfortable,"

River Love 💙 Tiny Adventure *Highlands Cullasaja River Gorge same day bookings

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved the stay. Was an amazing experience. Wished I could have stayed a bit longer to get a more time by the river. But will definitely be reaching back out to the host. Now for parts that had my fiancé and I in awe…. When we pulled up to the place he wasn’t sure we were in the right place. But we were. (You know how men are with directions, lol) As soon as I opened the door it was almost like stepping back in time. The tapestry, the old bottle and the copper tub and sink, high back chairs. Just wished we would have enjoyed the outside a little more. But hey there is always summer. We even had a good laugh climbing in the bed cause he hit his head so many times before he finally realized he needed to stop trying to sit up to get comfortable. We came to this little gem to get away and relax and left with more memories to add to on our lives journey."

2 Living Areas + Fireplace: Mirror Lake Cottage!

10/10 Excellent

"WOW!! What a fantastic home this is. From the minute you enter this beautiful appointed cottage you feel like you are walking into a friend's home. The cottage is warm and inviting and beautifully designed and decorated. Everywhere you look you notice the attention to detail that the owners have considered. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, appliances, etc. The bathrooms are well appointed and clean with lovely fixtures and lighting. There are two sitting area, one adjacent to a large dining area and equipped with a fantastic gas fireplace that is inviting and warm to sit around for morning coffee or evening conversation. The other sitting area makes for a very nice reading or gathering area as well and has french doors that go out to the fabulous outdoor deck and waterfall in the back of the home. We had the opportunity to speak the hose, as well as the owners, of the property and they were excellent! The owners were sincerely concerned that we were satisfied with the property and went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel welcome into their beautiful home! The bedrooms were also very well appointed and comfortable. We cannot say enough good things about this proerty. It is by far, the best and most enjoyable VRBO property we have ever stayed in. Can't wait to retur to experience more of this outstanding home!"
