Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy
Everything was completely perfect except the bed. The mattress was old and had indentions and one side sloped toward the floor. For the money, it would seem the mattress would have been newer and top of the line. Otherwise, everything was easy and great.

Highlander Mountain House
I enjoyed my stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking is challenging and I had to park offsite a couple of times. Food in the restaurant was good, but overpriced with small portions. Seating was uncomfortable. I would consider returning to stay, but dine elsewhere.
