Rooms And Dining
The inn's guest rooms and suites blend period antiques, European bedding, and Italian linens with high-tech amenities such as flat-screen TVs, wireless Internet service, and heated-tile bathroom floors; many rooms come with porches or private terraces, and all are within walking distance of Main Street. Six spa suites, with a private elevator offering direct access to the spa, afford a luxurious touch. Antiques, Oriental rugs, and accents of wood and stone add to the English manor feel of the Spring Street Cottages, situated across the street from the inn's main building. The three-bedroom Farmhouse, located one mile away at the Farm, allows for a more secluded stay. Guests can dine on New Southern fare and an award-winning wine list tapped from the on-site cellar at the elegant Madison's restaurant, or opt for a more casual menu of house-smoked ribs and barbeque at the Rib Shack. Guests can dine under umbrellas, surrounded by lush foliage and a soothing waterfall at the open-air Wine Garden; the Hummingbird Lounge is also a popular place for predinner appetizers or postdinner drinks. Other options include light fare and cocktails at the Poolside Cabana, open seasonally, and portion-controlled cuisine and refreshing teas at the Spa Café.
Activities
The on-site fitness center features Technogym equipment, and a selection of exercise classes available includes yoga, Pilates, tai chi, Zumba, water aerobics, and spinning. There are six lighted tennis courts and an 18-hole Tom Jackson-designed golf course; guests can also have a ball playing bocce or croquet on the resort's lawn. Those wanting to unwind can take a refreshing dip in the outdoor heated mineral pool, followed by time in the cave-enclosed whirlpool. Miles of hiking and nature trails leading through the vibrant forestland, foliage, and waterfalls of Highlands and the surrounding area await the eco-adventurer, while several bodies of water, including the Cullasaja and Chattooga Rivers, provide ample fishing opportunities. Additional off-site options include horseback riding, rafting, swimming, tubing, and mountain biking. The village of Highlands offers antique shopping, dining, theater, and historic sites.
