"Highlander Mountain House has only been around for three years, but its 'equal parts Appalachian lodge and refined English country estate' atmosphere quickly solidified itself as one of the most sought-after bookings in Highlands. The property’s rooms are well-appointed — Bellino linens, Malin + Goetz toiletries, curated vintage decor, and charming wallpaper — but its common spaces are where Highlander Mountain House truly shines. 'If it's winter, I'd get cozy by the fire with a good book and a drink,' says Braucher, who recommends settling in on the kilim sofa in the hotel’s main lobby." - Travel + Leisure Editors
