Historic mountain lodge with Oak Steakhouse and mountain views in Highlands

Amenities

Skyline Lodge offers free private parking for guests arriving by car. The property has a bar and a restaurant serving local cuisine, open for dinner daily. Guests can enjoy free coffee in the reception area during the day, but the restaurant is closed for breakfast and lunch on weekdays.

Rooms

Each room at Skyline Lodge has a private balcony with mountain views, a comfortable bed, and heated bathroom floors. The rooms are decorated in a mid-century modern style that reflects the lodge's historic Frank Lloyd Wright-era architecture. Some rooms are located on lower levels with smaller bathrooms and limited natural light; guests can request an upper-floor room for better views and quieter surroundings.

Dining

The on-site Oak Steakhouse is open for dinner every evening and serves dry-aged ribeye, trout, and other steakhouse classics. The Oak Bar offers craft cocktails and a spacious seating area with views of the surrounding forest and mountains. Guests are advised to make reservations for dinner, especially on weekends, as the restaurant is popular with locals.

Location

Skyline Lodge is located in Highlands, North Carolina, on a ridge with clear mountain views from every room balcony. The hotel is a 9-minute drive from downtown Highlands and a 91 km drive from Asheville Regional Airport. The property is surrounded by forest and is close to hiking trails and waterfalls in the Nantahala National Forest.

Pet-Friendly

The hotel allows dogs in guest rooms, and pet owners often see other dogs on the property. Guests with pets can walk their dogs on the grounds near the outdoor seating area and fire pit.

Highlights

Dining: Oak Steakhouse and Oak Bar with mountain views

Rooms: Private balconies with mountain views and heated bathroom floors

Location: 9 minutes from downtown Highlands, near hiking trails

Parking: Free private parking on site

Pet Policy: Dog-friendly rooms

“The lodge's serene mountain setting and thoughtfully appointed rooms, some featuring heated bathroom floors and private balconies, create a truly tranquil escape. Its mid-century modern design, reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's influences, imbues the property with a unique retro charm, while the on-site steakhouse garners consistent praise for its quality. This is a place where attention to detail, from the decor to the attentive staff, genuinely elevates the guest experience.”
