Transcend the Ordinary at Our Blue Ridge Mountain Resort

Situated at 4,118 feet, Highlands, North Carolina, is a breathtaking destination on the southern plateau of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The vibrant mountain village, with stunning vistas, waterfalls, and wooded forest, draws visitors worldwide. Stroll along Main Street and explore unique shopping, dining, museums, arts, and entertainment. Embrace the mountain spirit with live music, theater, and art galleries in one of America's Top Twelve Small-Town Art Places.

Highlands is known for its beautiful seasons and stunning visuals. Springtime is when the native Mountain Laurel blankets the forest in vibrant pink.
