Highland Lake Inn exceeded all my expectations. Though we live in Columbia, SC we decided to have the wedding at the Inn. I could not have asked for better service or location. We arrived on Friday night with approximately 35 guests in tow. We rented out the Lodge so that everyone could enjoy the lovely main Lodge Area which included... More

There is no way to thank the staff at HLI for such an amazing time last weekend. We had the exact opposite experience as the previsou review and I had to let everyone know! We are planning a small, family wedding at the HLI in May and from the first phone call, they have been so responsive, flexible and have... More

I wanted to have my wedding there.  I live locally but my family is all from out of town.  I got engaged in July and knew that Highland lake would be perfect for the family to gather with kids and have a wonderful outdoor NC experience.  After filling out the request form info page 3 times with no response I...

I was tasked with coordinating a business summit in NC for a global team. With over 20 people attending and a tight budget, it was a real challenge. After previewing different venues, we chose Flat Rock as the location. The management at Highland Lake Inn (HLI) was very accommodating. From my first meeting with Terry, to my follow up coordinations... More

I had the pleasure of visiting Highland Lake Inn and from beginning to end the experience was delightful. The rooms are tastefully decorated, warm and impeccably clean. The staff is so helpful and friendly. Since it was winter I didn't get to view the flowers in full bloom but, I can only imagine. The best part of the whole experience... More

After reading all of the TA reviews on Highland Lake Inn, my wife and I booked a two-day stay for early January. We stayed in the Primrose "honeymoon" Suite, even though we have been married for 28 years. It was fun trying to act like newlyweds with the fireplace and huge bathtub. There are actually two bathtubs in the Primrose.... More

My wife and I stayed 2 nights. The property has several different types of accommodations. We stayed in the Woodward House. Our room was very large and comfortable, more like a suite, with a gas fireplace (which we used a lot since it was cold out) and a large whirlpool tub. There was a wet bar and a very nice... More

My daughter and her fiancee selected Highland Lake Inn for their wedding ceremony, and what an excellent choice they made! The Inn's event planner was extremely capable, knowledgable, flexible, and a joy to work with. The Inn provided us a perfect location for our extended family (coming from all over the country) to gather for a few days, and offered... More

We stumbled across Highland Lake this week after a long day of driving, only to find a hidden gem. I hesitated to write a review because it's quite a neat secret. The buildings are spread out on a beautiful sprawling property which leads down to a lake. Lots of trees & gardens yet wide open areas for play, gliders for... More

If you bikers are looking for a destination which offers most everything you need and more, this place is it, particularly if you're trailering your bike to ride off on day trips. The inn is only a couple of miles from I-26, providing easy access from both the north and the south. There's no steep hills to negotiate, as is... More
