    Public bathroom needs to have better attention & be checked more often. Some shop owners are friendlier than others & they make you feel unwelcome in their shops. Most of the shops are welcoming though. Restaurants in the city itself are ok. Over priced & not top notch. However, there are wonderful restaurants right outside of the city that are wonderful & food is exceptional (The Lakeside Restaurant.

    Long waits for lunch in restaurants.

    Long waits for lunch in restaurants. We had a very bad experience at Meritage Bistro. The owner and manager were extremely rude to one of our group who ordered crab cakes that turned out to be too spicy to eat. Worst treatment I have ever seen in a restaurant. Will never go there again!

    Highlands is a sophisticated and charming mountain town that offers excellent shopping and dining options. Nearby waterfalls and trails offer excellent opportunities for exploring the "great outdoors"!

    Too crowded in July.

    Too crowded in July. We had a fantastic dinner at Lakeside Restaurant, an excellent lunch at Mountain Fresh Grocery and a great breakfast at the BlackBear Breakfast & Lunch which is new in town. Their food and service is superb. Next visit we will come early in the Spring or in the Fall when it isn't quite as crowded, but being crowded is a good problem for Highlands to have. :)

    Highlands is a very unique place; a mountainous rain forest.

    Highlands is a very unique place; a mountainous rain forest. Beautiful lush trees, flowers, and foliage. The water falls are breathtaking as is the drive up to Highlands. The town has a feel of privilege and most things are quite expensive. Our meal experiences were very good but get reservations IF you can. Food is pricey. Make sure and drive around and see the spectacular homes in the area. Please note that Highlands has a rain shower every day. Carry an umbrella everywhere.

    Over the fourth of July weekend, so it was very crowded.

    Over the fourth of July weekend, so it was very crowded. We had to wait everywhere to get a meal. The visitor center was closed when it was supposed to be open, so we had trouble getting tourist information. The Smokehouse is great, but we also had a long wait for our food. The shops are high end. The historic village was interesting, and the flowers are gorgeous everywhere you look.

    The staff is always so friendly and professional. Robin and her son are awesome! The price and the convenient location is excellent. The main reason we stay at the Lodge is because it is truly a piece of mountain history and you actually feel like you are in the mountains instead of a less personal hotel. The Lodge should remain a Lodge and not because something like the Old Edwards Inn with expensive pricing and a "city slicker" feel. Real southerners know the difference.

    Delightful vintage cabin tucked in amongst a rhododendron and mountain laurel filled neighborhood with winding streets, babbling brooks and ponds; truly a sanctuary. The screened in front porch is the perfect place to relax with a storybook view of a small clearing with a creek. very convenient to the charming downtown of Highlands. Well equipped kitchen, large dining table on the porch. Lovely furnishings and comfortable beds and linens.

    Loved the bathroom plenty of room for a couple, got in space early check in. Bathroom had a rainforest shower head in ceiling. Perfect location, only 1.5 miles to Highlands. Great spot to star gaze off the patio. Wine in the kitchen area, 2 large TV's. Will stay again. If you have 2 couples you could rent the other apartment next door as well. Very quiet to stay. Nice restaurant close by.
