My daughter got married at the resort and we all had a lovely time. All of the guests were able to stay on the grounds. The food was excellent and the variety of housing was perfect for everyone. We really enjoyed the fire pit and the hiking trails. Also the staff were so friendly.

We had a wonderful time at Highland Lake Inn and Resort. We stayed in the Primrose Cabin. The Cabins and the grounds were both beautiful. The fall leaves were still in color. It’s a great place just to walk the grounds. Breakfast at Seasons each morning was fresh and tasty. All the staff were nice and friendly. Will definitely stay again

Having been here for 6 years I can say that it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Feels like you are in the country, but is still convenient to the lovely towns of Hendersonville and Flat Rock. Everything is well maintained and the staff are very accommodating. The breakfast buffet at Seasons Restaurant is unbeatable and lunch and dinners are also great. My little poodle also thoroughly enjoyed her time in the country. I can highly recommend Highland Lake for a peaceful and beautiful get away. PS The beds are very comfortable.

What can I say about Highland Lake Inn & Resort? This place was a dream! We had 45 participants stay over night and hosted a conference at this location and it was amazing. Shea and Cami were so careful with all of our guests' preferences and details. The food and atmosphere was amazing. Our biggest complaint was that we didn't get enough time in our programming to explore the grounds more. The lodging accommodations were clean and much more comfortable than I was expecting. We stayed up to fellowship in the Lodge game room and lobby area which was perfect for our large group. Out of 45 guests, we had zero complaints for our conference and it was recommended we strive to find locations as beautiful and accommodating. We will be back for sure as a group, and many of us as individuals.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night visit! We loved the property in general, a century's worth of trees and shrubbery, various buildings, paths and gardens to wander among, a dam, and a grist mill from the 1700's. The grounds have so much history--as summer camps, as an Academy, for example. We stayed in a clean, cozy, rustic room on the second floor of the Lodge, with direct access to a wrap-around veranda to enjoy the evening air. Sunday breakfast at Season's was actually Sunday brunch -- many options and so tasty. We also had a larger family dinner at Season's; scrumptuous and beautifully presented althought we wished there had been more vegetarian entrees. Our granddaughter was so excited to find a pool table in the Lodge basement that staff brought us a cot so she could have a "sleepover" for the second night! What a memorable weekend

We had a nice stay. Overall the Inn is lovely. Details: The room we stayed in (room 5/Mountain Air suite - in the Woodward House) was large and well laid out. Perfect choice for us. Comfortable beds and a huge bathroom (we did search for hooks to hang towels and couldn't find any)? There is a small balcony if you want to step outside (sadly it only looks the parking lot). The breakfast was very good - plenty of choices to start your day. The grounds are lovely and it looks like the lake could be fun to use another time. If you are thinking of playing tennis - not gonna happen. The court is in really bad shape so no need to bring rackets. A couple great meals were had - one was at the Campfire Grill just down the road in Flat Rock and one at Shine in Hendersonville (a cute little village with shops etc about 10 minutes away). Glad we visited.

Wonderful gem of a place! We booked a little cabin last minute and just cannot say enough about our experience. From the candles made by the owner to the beautiful grounds, we had a beautiful, relaxing visit. We did not have a reservation at the restaurant but they still managed to accommodate our family of 5. The food here is EXCELLENT. Our order ranged from fish to pork to steak and everyone was very happy with their meal. The staff made a fire in the pretty little fire pit and we sat around it talking and watching lightning bugs for hours. The rooms are simple but super clean and have everything you need. The rooms come with breakfast which was an additional treat. We loved our time here and look forward to returning soon!

This couldn't have been a nicer trip. . . my only regret is that we only had two nights here! The breakfast is super and there was lots to do: Free usage of the canoes, kayaks and paddleboats. Swim in the lake or pool. Hammocks are set up for guests. They even lit a fire for us in the firepit and left wood for us to use. It was like summer camp but no dinner bell or arts and crafts. Dinner at Season's was top notch, along with the service. p.s. If I had known about Highland Lake Inn 20 years ago, I doubt our family would have done much tent camping!
