Top Sapphire Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Just got back home from a four night stay. Perfect for our purpose of exploring the area. Great restaurants, nice balcony room overlooking the river. Indoor pool was so nice too and clean. Breakfasts had a good selection. Highly recommend."

Fairway Forest by Coolvacay

8/10 Good

"My wife has mobility challenges and when we arrived at our Fairway Forest location, we didn’t realize that we would have to go down two flights of stairs to our living area. I blame myself for not asking about this before I booked the condo. The good news was the entire downstairs (bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom) had been completely renovated, and was very nice. The recreation center which included a weight room with treadmills, and 2 outdoor pools, and 1 indoor pool (with 2 hot tubs and saunas) were wonderful!! Loved the cooler temperatures in the NC mountains, and it was pretty easy to get to from middle GA."

Brook Trout Inn

10/10 Excellent

"If I could give Brook Trout Inn ten stars I would. Julie, her husband Steve, and their right hand woman, Holly, were welcolming, friendly and helpful. The facilities were spotless, the breakfast eggs were cooked to order with almost everything else you could ask for to start the day. Run, don't walk to this Inn the next time you are in the area and need somewhere to stay. Who needs a chain hotel when you can stay with what feels like family❤️? Also, we brought our 17'9" boat and parking was no problem on the property."

Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

8/10 Good

"Air conditioning was noisy. Not enough hooks in bathroom."

Balsam Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The inn is absolutely beautiful. Loved the huge front porch with the resident yellow cat, the game/puzzle room, and all the antiques in the hallways. The breakfast that was included was delicious and the dining area is beautiful as well. I was surprised how cool the inn stayed without any air conditioning. The ceiling fan and open windows kept us comfortable all night, even on the 2nd floor in August! The only downside was the mattress in our room - it was extremely firm with not much padding. My daughter is a junior at WCU and I've stayed at several hotels in the area, but this was by far my favorite. I'll definitely be back!"

The Skyline Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Best service, best food, quaint, very well maintained, clean place, nicely decorated. So many places to take photos! The staff is the sweetest, kindest and their food… just the best. We loved to eat outside looking at their gorgeous garden. 100% recommended."

Tripps Cabin- Quaint cabin a mile from downtown Highlands!

10/10 Excellent

"Cute cabin, a little rustic but close to town and easy to get to."

King Ensuite+Resort Access 1.5m+Waterfalls/hiking
