We absolutely love Highland Lake. We stayed in The Trillium which is one of the garden hamlet cottages. It was absolutely adorable. The grounds at Highland Lake are just gorgeous. And you simply can not beat the prices. If you are looking for an inexpensive and relaxing getaway, this is your place. The food at Season's Inn on the property... More

Our five night stay in the cottages with a large family group was quite pleasurable. We all came in from 4 states to stay in two cottages at different times during the week and were welcomed by charming, comfortable and extremely clean sleeping, cooking and living areas. Nearby grocery stores were great but the food at the Inn's Seasons Restaurant... More

My wife & I spent Thanksgiving at Highland Lake Inn for a quiet getaway, travelling there with another couple. We had rooms in the Woodward House which was nicely furnished, quiet, and very comfortable. The WH had a common area with a very nice fireplace for visiting & a nice porch for sitting/reading (in warmer weather). Suited our needs perfectly.... More

A little gem of a resort in Flat Rock, NC. Unassuming and casual, but a great place to recharge and enjoy some mountain beauty and excellent food at Season's, the resort's restaurant. Don't miss the Sunday brunch. It is one of the best meals you'll ever have.

My wife and I spent our 4th anniversary at a cabin at Highland Lake Inn. It was very quiet, relaxing, and enjoyable the last week in November. We hiked to 3 waterfalls in Dupont State Park only 20 minutes away and then used the paddleboat in the private ;lake. The complimentary breakfast at The Seaon's was excellent. Would highly recommend.
