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.

I thought things were fine, my wife didn't. The walls are thin, we could hear neighbors talking pretty easily in the room. My wife asked for tea and the desk lady told her she'd sell her a bag, they didn't put tea bags in the rooms until later in the season. The wood fire in the common area was nice. We didn't really use the balcony, it was OK I guess. There were odd noises during the night.

This property exceeded my expectations. My room was practically conjured up from my mountain getaway dreams, a rustic mid-century studio apartment perfectly appointed. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, and I also enjoyed the cozy privacy I was after. Must give serious notes to the restaurant on-site, it is outrageously vibey and well-crafted in every way. I rarely write reviews and knew upon arrival that I would need to submit a rave approval.

To stay in Highlands for mountain views, this is the place. Its a 9 minute drive to downtown . Ubers are scarce. The Hotel is retro and in great shape, rooms are large and nice. Staff, very nice and helpful. The only downside, the bar is not good with poor service. The restaurant is average and expensive so you need to go to town . They are missing out on revenue with better restaurant. and bar.
