We were a group with three rooms staying as part of Trailborn Highland's first 100 guests since opening. We were so impressed with the level of guest service at this property. The staff was eagetrto assist with all of our needs. Can't say enough on this topic. In addition, the rooms were comfortable and inviting, two with great views of the trees, and had great in-room amentities. Trailborn Highlands has a relaxing vibe that successfully combines a modern and rustic feel. A light complimentary selection of breakfast items was an added plus. We will definitely return!

We stayed at Trailborn Highlands this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it! We had no idea that their grand opening was the weekend prior. We booked last minute and were a little concerned because of the reviews online but the pictures looked great and when we arrived, we found out the reviews were prior to new ownership and a full remodel! The hotel is super cool. The rooms are current with a retro vibe. Every staff member we encountered was very hospitable and helpful. We spoke to many! Christy, who is a manager, was so sweet and helpful. Chris, who is part of the team, works all over the resort and wanted to make sure everything was good with our bikes. As part of staying there they offer very attractive cruiser bikes for riding around town…which we did all day on Saturday. Everyone was asking where we got our bikes. :) We also spoke with the chef of the future onsite restaurant, Highlands Supper Club. It isn’t open yet so he was giving us insight as to where to eat, as he is all about food! Another awesome thing is that they have a great area to sit and relax or work, if needed- which includes a fireplace. They offer a continental breakfast with unique goodies that we loved! There is a beautiful area in the back of the hotel that offers Adirondack style chairs with fire pits. We sat out there both nights. It was incredible! We are excited to return as we will be staying there again! Thanks to the entire team at Trailborn Highlands for making our visit amazing!

I had a WONDERFUL stay, and can't wait to come back! LOVED the water bottle filling station, the luxe-70s lodge vibe, the staff was incredible, they have a great offerings in the market, my room had a gas fireplace (!!!!), and overall I loved it. My only two complaints were that the mattress was not comfortable (my aching back woke me up both mornings), and I strongly dislike instant coffee, which was the ONLY coffee option available (in room or otherwise).
