Loved this place! Would come Back again and again. Loved the restaurant and rooms.

We like staying at the SKyline Lodge - it is in a quiet location with great views of the mountains and trees. One highlight is the Oaks Restaurant, which (in our opinion) is one of the best in the area. Another is that they are pet friendly and everyone remembers and greets our bird, Scarlett.

Beautiful location. Lovely job of refurbishing historic property- keeping the retro vibe while giving modern touches ( love the heated tile floor in bathroom). Very comfortable room. Nice balcony view of mountain landscape. Wonderfully decorated courtyard area (enjoyed the firepit and giant jenga). Onsite restaurant (Oak Steakhouse) is phenomenal.

8/10 Very good

PROS: The hotel is very peaceful as it is located in the middle of the mountain. The rooms are clean, nice and comfortable. Employees are nice as well. CONS: the hotel only has two floors. We stayed on the first floor and we could hear the footsteps of the people staying above us because the walls and floors are extremely thin. Also, there is no elevator so take this into consideration if you can’t lift your luggage up and down the stairs.

Pet friendly but multiple dogs off leash and owners letting them roam which seemed odd leash weren’t required. Property is pretty, rooms were ok minus flea bites I brought back. Said they offered pastries for sale in the morning but they were not there during our stay. Highly recommend staying on the 2nd floor vs the first floor. Positives: friendly staff and the restaurant on property was excellent.-staff at restaurant was amazing.

Situated in the hills and d see signed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright's students this is an ideal getaway for a weekend. The Oak restaurant is one of the best in the area.

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.

Pretty rustic lodgings. If you have a problem with musty old rooms, do not stay here. I had a headache within an hour and tried to change rooms, but all the rooms were the same damp smell. They even have dehumidifier machines in each room to try and mitigate the problem. I didn’t think this was worth the $$! The restaurant, however, was absolutely great. So much better than the inn in town. Literally everything on the menu was top notch.

We didn’t have TV, first weekend of college Football. No reservations for dinner or brunch a week out! The view off deck great , mingle area wonderful The two front desk ladies were amazing!

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.

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.

Staff was great. The restaurant is very nice but there is not a breakfast option during the week. They do have a few things you can grab in the check in area. Our room was missing soap and the bathroom was small but overall updated and very nice. The building is very old so a lot of steps, not very ADA friendly. Beautiful area.
