The Highland Lake Inn and Resort was incredible. They hosted my family and friends during my wedding weekend at Camp TonAWandah down the road. My guests were so happy. We had a really great rehearsal dinner at Seasons on Thursday night. The staff was friendly, helpful, and so on point. All of our guests loved their cottages and cabins and rooms. Everyone loved breakfast in the morning. It was a stunning location with a very wonderful staff. As a bride, I had communication with Kimbrell and Aminat for many months. They were so kind and supportive and wonderful. So grateful to the Highland Lake Inn and Resort !!

Our quick pivot to this previously unknown destination lifted us out of the blues due to Southwest cancelling our flight to NYC. Gorgeous scenery in cozy, casual cottages - Highland is abundantly charming. Seasons restaurant gave us a comfy stool at the bar since we’d had no time to make a reservation and a succulent ribeye was served by De Anne - a really neat lady that gave us the scoop on local sites to explore! Beauty spot well worth the drive.

Highland Lake Inn is a timeless place to unwind and recharge. Reminiscent of summer camp, but with all the amenities. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast buffet at Seasons on site is hearty and tasty. And you can’t beat the location. Definitely a place to visit again and again!

This is the second year our family has come her for our annual family reunion. We stay in the main lodge but there are many other smaller cottages around the area. The grounds are beautiful with a lily pad studded lake in the middle. There are many activities on the grounds themselves - badminton, volley ball, swimming in the lake or pool, bicycling and paddle boating to name a few. I most enjoyed hiking on the grounds and at the parks nearby. The highlight being to hike down to feed the goats. The Inn provides a wonderful breakfast each morning that is complimentary with the room. You may also dine in their restaurant for lunch and dinner. I really enjoyed exploring the charming town of Flat Rock and then many surrounding towns. I'm really looking forward to returning next year.…

We stayed in the lodge for 3 nights. The room was nice, though the walls were paper thin. We could hear the conversations of the guests in the next room, as I'm sure they could hear ours. The exterior needs some pressure washing & painting in some areas. The grounds are large and lovely, and would serve as a great place for a large family gathering. The lake is nice, though not quite as nice as we'd hoped. We were also a bit disappointed that the lake was so far from the lodge that it couldn't be seen. The pool was nice, well maintained and refreshing on hot afternoons. We would consider staying again, especially with a larger group.

Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize that we did not exceed the expectations of your stay with us. We have recently renovated the Lodge exterior with new siding and paint, and we will look into any areas in need of touch-ups, and thank you for sharing that with us. While all of our accommodations located on the 26 acre property are a short walk to the lake, we do not have any lodging with a lakeside view on grounds. We do have golf carts available for rent for those who are unable to make the beautiful walk past the organic gardens down to the lake. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the pool and the grounds, and the Lodge does make a wonderful gathering location for family reunions, that includes the larger common areas, an additional space suitable for events and the gameroom downstairs.
