It was centrally located on the property and had some of most beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. We kicked off the trip with spa treatments. Note: appointments are a necessity (as far advance as possible) we lucked out with afternoon massage treatments. They were exceptional. Also you can't forget about the amenities. They are lovely! We dined at 4 restaurants on the property. Lunch at the spa cafe, drinks at Hummingbird over the fire, dinner at the Madison, and cocktails & soup at Four65. Needless to say, we look forward to another trip over the spring or summer.

I especially like the upper pool as it was a little quieter and secluded. They put out sunscreen for you so no need to bring your own. As with many resorts of this size, they do kind of nickel and dime you for everything, which is unfortunate but not altogether unexpected. It felt like a luxury summer camp for adults in the woods, and I would definitely return.

I remember the pastoral beauty of the Farm when we arrived. I remember being greeted and escorted to the lobby and being welcomed with a glass of champagne. I remember the ease of the check-in process. I remember our cozy, spectacular room with heated bathroom floors. I remember our beautiful, delicious breakfasts and being almost able to reach out and touch a forest leaf. I remember our sweet conversations with Kelly, the assistant manager. I remember laughing with Blake the charming bartender in the beautiful bar. I remember Paige, the manager, checking in on us making sure everything was extraordinarily. I remember the beautiful reflections off the peaceful water of Apple Lake. I remember the quaint, beautiful garden. I remember hoping to see the mother bear and her cubs.

We have several food allergies in our family and Dave and Brigette made us feel unburdensome! They made (from scratch) gluten-free peach bread and Dutch babies, along with eggs, sausage, and fresh fruit. Dave and Brigette went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. They recommended the best local attractions and shared many friendly conversations. Their genuine care for guests shined through. We are planning to return each year as a new family tradition.

There's even a breakfast/lunch cafe ( Blue Bike Cafe ), Hair Salon and Pet Spa on site. The room we had was so bright, pretty and newly renovated....it was as big as a beautiful one bedroom apt and the whole place was recently remodeled and decorated and the owners paid attention to every detail....fireplace, furniture, BIG modern shower, little refrigerator, the SOFT bedding and even the towels smelled nice. I hated to share this place on Yelp because we know eventually The Inn at Creekside is going to be found out and we sure hope our little find will be available when we go for our Mountain getaways!

The grounds are well maintained. Parking is right outside your door. The rooms are not fancy by most standards, but very "mountain cabin" like and have plenty of room. Ours had a desk, small sitting table with chairs, a microwave and typical hotel size refrigerator. The staff was very polite and professional. We didn't have any issues during our stay so can't speak to how they deal with problems. They did offer a "continental breakfast" per se, but it was underwhelming. The fresh coffee was very good and always available. Just moments from downtown Highlands and minutes from the Cullasaja River, Bridal Falls, and other photo-worthy spots, at a very reasonable price point make this a great place to stay when you head this way!
