Rarely have I had such a magnificent experience. Yes, it was the experience, not just any one thing but the compilation of and the consistency of all of the things. 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. I remember our experiences fondly, you see, and that should tell you everything.

My mother and I stayed over Thanksgiving and had the pleasure of having a 3-course dinner of Thanksgiving Day. Wow is all I can say! The room was so incredibly cozy that it was difficult for me to wake up in the mornings. The property could not have been more picturesque. I felt like I was in a snow globe. Will definitely be back MANY times.

My husband and I returned to Fire Mountain this past weekend for our one-year wedding anniversary,…read moreand our stay was just as delightful as the first time we stayed in 2021. Hiram welcomed us with a smile and gave us a very detailed description and maps of where to find the hiking trails we were after. Mathew made lovely breakfasts for us on both days of our stay, and we enjoyed a lovely relaxing weekend in the Star Maiden room in the Inn. Fire Mountain is an elegant, upscale, romantic getaway meant to unplug you from the stresses of daily life. Hiram and Mathew provide a catered experience that is perfectly curated, and we loved returning to this special place. It is obvious that both of them have put their heart and soul into this establishment and we are grateful they continue to share it with us. Thank you both, and Lilly, for an amazing weekend!

Parking: One-way trail after you hit a certain point on the property. Easy to navigate. Plenty of parking in the accommodation area. Service: Matthew and Hiram follow strict COVID-19 protocol here. Guests must wear masks around the property and maintain the 6-feet social distancing. They do not enter booked rooms 2 days before and after the guest's stay. Guests must go to the front desk to get service (extra toiletries, towels, etc.), as there is no maid service currently. No complaints about the service. WIFI: It's non-existent, even though there is "free" WIFI. Connection was not great. Some cellular service may come through, but it was nice to escape from the tech world. Location: Perfect! It's about a 15-20 minutes drive into downtown Highlands. Great distance away from great hikes and views. They have an easy trail throughout the property here, if you do not want to leave Fire Mountain. Massage 1-hour (3/5): Very nice lad but wasn't the best I've had. Great view when you enter though. Clean, high windows that will let the blazing sun through, so it can get a bit hot. The lady followed COVID-19 protocol. Fire & Water Restaurant Dinner (3/5): 1. Watermelon Gazpacho (2/5): It was refreshing with the watermelon. However, the flavor was lacking for me. Bland overall. 2. Cornmeal Crusted Trout (4/5): I cleaned most of this plate. Trout was crusted perfectly without too much cornmeal. Carrots with the sweet glaze were a nice touch. The other 2 veggies were OK. 3. Peach Cobbler (3/5): I'm not a big fan of cobbler. This was just OK for me. Matthew and Hiram are genuine and knowledgeable. They do try to keep up with this place. Matthew is a great cook, as he changes the breakfast and dinner menu up here and there. Would I come back? Yes. Only thing is the restroom.... the space is kind of cramped in our room, especially the shower. I did not like that.

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!

The balcony is useless because it smells like human feces, not a little but a lot. Management is well aware of the issue and totally apathetic.
