The property had a lot of activities to offer, scenic chair lifts, free row boats and kayaks, bike trails, multiple pools and hot tubs, movies, games,and treats. Breakfast was delicious in the main dining room. Staff was friendly and helpful. The property and rooms were clean. The only problem was the beds, they were awful. We had a king murphy bed and queen sofa bed. Both beds sunk in the middle. The sofa bed was hard as a rock and creaked terribly when ever my teenage daughter moved.

I love this resort!!! The staff by the ski cage are so wonderful!!! They are always so warm and friendly!! Our room was great, and we were so lucky to get a beautiful blue bird day!! I was able to get all the lift tickets in the lobby which saved me a hike. The food was great at the main lodge for breakfast. We enjoyed Slopeside, and the pizza delivered to our room was a treat. We all loved the hot tub and pool! My kids were there for hours!! Great vibe all around!! This is our 2nd year staying at The Highlands. We will be back next year!

EVERYONE, and I mean everyone, on the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. From check-in, to check-out we did not see a single person who wasn’t smiling ear to ear. The room was beautiful and spacious with a comfortable bed and lush robes to use for the hot tub/pool. The pool is bath water warm and the hot tub is perfectly hot to make the cold weather blues melt away. We could not be more elated with our stay. Thank you to the entire staff for making our holiday so special!

The views were beautiful, food was great and the hot tub was so relaxing. We loved the conscience of nearby attractions and places to dine. We will definitely be back!
