When you think of hospitality Old Edwards Inn and Spa is definitely on that list. Soon, as we open the door to the establishment all of the staff stopped what they were doing and greeted us with a warm welcome. We were offered a complimentary glass of Mimosa before checking in. Surely set the mood, for our Winter all Inclusive package which was broke down in details by the lady who check us in. The Front Desk Manger assisted us to our room with a tour of it and the amenities that were located in The Bulter room. The floor in our bedroom was heated which was a bonus. They do offer water stations all over their property. Our package came with breakfast, lunch and dinner from the Madison restaurant which is located on the property. We really enjoyed everything at the Inn they even gave us a snack to enjoy on our road trip back home. Like, I said when you think of Hospitality Old Edwards Inn got your covered. You guys can thank me later after your trip. Usually, I can write a lot but I don't won't to mess up the experience for you.

Main entrance, and overlooking from the rooftop bar.

Beautiful gorgeous very very high end hotel on Main Street. They take care of every detail... I stayed in the main building room 19. Bed linens mattress pillows ... top of the line. Bathroom on the small side in my room, floors are heated, shower is powerful and great. Molten Brown Products, ladies will understand how great the stuff is. Ha ha. Chocolate chip cookies at your disposal, great service... Really a great stay it is very very expensive in my opinion but I loved it. Hotel is very very quiet. Service is exceptional.

What a nice historic Inn. We have always wanted to stay here and this weekend it happened. The staff if very friendly, provided a complimentary champagne or cocktail at check-in. The location is great for walking through Historic Highlands. And the many lounges and seating areas and rooftop terraces makes it so relaxing. Complimentary dive bars for all guests too!

My wife and I went to this place for a long birthday weekend. We stayed in one of the lodge cottages and it was large beautiful and very private. Staff was amazing. I did everything possible to make sure your stay was perfect. Also as a birthday guy every place we went we had two classes of complimentary champagne stuck in our face. Novelty at first but after about six glasses I was trying to stay away from the wait staff so I could last the evening lol. The lodge was very nice. We ate lunch at the bistro there what is amazing is the food came from their flagship restaurant Madison's. Spa treatments were excellent the common areas also nice, but we has Grove Park Inn as a comparator. Onto Madison's for dinner. Amazing. Was torn whether to write a separate review... starter was amazing: foie gras dressed with water cress, French toast and an amazing bacon maple syrup reduction. I had the bison brisket, so tender served w radish, lima beans I substituted and got the grits from our favorite mill in SC. My wife had the blue cheese topped steak w scalloped potatoes and grilled root vegetables. We both licked our plates clean. Passing on dessert we returned to our room to find a mousse layer cake and a half dozen chocolate covered strawberries! Rooms were beautiful with my favorite touches: gas fireplace, heated bathroom floor and towel rack. We've celebrated my birthday on six continents, but no destination better than this!

Absolutely the best spa. The service was above and beyond. From the moment you walk into the spa, no cell phones are allowed for relaxation purposes. Sorry for the no photos! The staff was professional, friendly and detailed on the massage and pressure points. The sitting lounge was calm inviting. The pool was closed for the season. The spa was my favorite part of the stay.

If you want to go to the mountains s to escape the heat and daily grind of life and want to be pampering in the most gorgeous and serenade setting, The Old Edwards Inn in Highlands NC is the place to go! We stayed in the piermont cottage which is a four bedroom home with so much history! We were able to cook together and had a bonfire each night outback. The entire property is gorgeous. The staff will pamper you and make you feel like one of the Rockefeller's who used to visit her back in the day! The wine garden restaurant was our favorite! The menu was over the top and the food pampered your senses!! The pool was a salt water pool that was so relaxing! The pool side chairs were perfect for reading and napping. They even had a very talented man playing the guitar! The bar service was incredible at the pool! The town is quaint with restaurants and cute shops! Bear outfitters had the best sweatshirts to take home as souvenirs! There is a great grocery store/restaurant down the road called mountain fresh! Fine wine ans cheeses! A great butcher shop where we got the best fillet mignon! They have a restaurant and coffee shop too. They say the pizza is the best there too. We didn't want to leave this piece of paradise in the mountains! It was an amazing place to celebrate our anniversary! GreaT hiking nearby too at Glen falls!! Definitely felt like I was a queen for the weekend at this lovely historic property!

Looking to pamper yourself? Then this is the place! The property covers several blocks right in the middle of Highlands, NC. As someone that has checked into over 1000 hotels this is one of the few times I was actually seated during the process without someone trying to sell me a timeshare.... do yourself a favor and have the champagne.... plus free unlimited Dove ice cream bars, we didn't test the unlimited part of the offer but they are free. Everything is perfect right down to the landscape. Heated bathroom floor, heated towel racks for those chilly mornings. Our room had a screened-in back porch where we wound down each day. We plan to return next year.

Hospitality at its finest. Spent a weekend at the Main Historic Inn and attended a wedding at the Farm venue on property. Both experiences were first class all the way. For about $400+ per night, you really can't do better! Can't say enough about front desk and concierge staff - Ryan, Shakira, and Andrew in the Hummingbird Lounge were particularly kind in going out of their way to accommodate our requests and needs (calling in personal favors to secure tough to attain dinner reservations; finding cosmetics items my mother in law needed from personal stashes at home; squeezing in extra chairs and plates to an already crowded lounge just to fit family members as the group grew throughout an evening sharing bottles of white wine by the fire) respectively. I can't say enough about the grounds, details, decor, restaurants and bars associated with this inn... they even have water bottle filling stations and mini refrigerators filled with complimentary Dove ice cream bars around each corner just to make you happy. The Hummingbird Lounge, 465 Woodfire Bistro and Madison's restaurant are some of the most lovely small spaces in which to dine at any mountain spa resort in the state of North Carolina. Trust me, I think I have visited most! See my individual reviews on each of these restaurants on yelp for more detailed info! If you love old world European style luxury and don't mind an older building- choose the main inn with balconies overlooking downtown Highlands. If you're looking for a more modern room, maybe choose the Lodge or Spa Suites. You truly can't make a bad decision with this establishment. I can't wait to return and in fact we'll probably make it a yearly tradition! I can't believe I've lived just a few hours away in the Charlotte area all this time and have not visited before now. Why has no one told me about this best kept secret? I'm sure it's because they wanted to keep it that way. ;) Just to keep it real... If I absolutely have to nitpick about a couple little things here would be my hit list: * because the building is older, a little bit of street noise comes in all throughout the night mainly due to windows... although I have slept in much louder hotels than this one... if you are a light sleeper I would pack some earplugs. * The pillows and bedding could use upgrades. They didn't seem to feel as luxurious as other heavenly beds I have slept in at hotel chains around the world. * The bathrooms have no counters on which to place your toiletries. I found that a little irritating to have to use the sink basin for my cosmetics and hair brush etc.... * Lastly, you may want to know that if you travel to the Highlands in the off-season (we visited in March), much of the shops boutiques and restaurants keep a smaller staff and crew... some were not even open the entire weekend. You may have trouble getting a hold of places to get reservations so plan ahead and bring patience. :)

After a day of this... to the Old Edward's Inn!

Oooh , so relaxing, so much pampering at the Hummingbird Lounge! We had the best drinks!! Feels cozy and full southern hospitality!

The Old Edward's experience is a must if you visit Highlands. The ambiance, including all of their restaurants, is outstanding. We stayed in one of there cottages. Everything was perfect. From the bath products (Molton Brown) / bed/ linen / nespreso machine. Wow the gas fireplace. It was perfect. The property is breathtaking. We dined at Madison (hotel restaurant) The dinning experience was exceptional From start/finish staff ! Food quality The gym has large selection of workout equipment. They also have a on site hiking guide A++ The staff members are top notch. They want to give you the best experience possible.

What are the rates per night here? Looking to make a goal to make this trip for my wife and I.

I would guess rates start at @$400 a night with all the taxes and fee's. On the site it will say 300-ish , but the fee's add up. Of course , the rooms go up from there. Enjoy.

Service there was impeccable and the catered food (which was more delicious than Madison's itself) was superb.

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!

Mitchell's Lodge fit the bill perfectly! Located in one of the only actual temperate rainforests in the Continental United States, you can imagine just how green and beautiful this place is. 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!
