Enjoyed our stay at the newly renovated Trailborn. Super mid century. They did a great job. Enjoyed the Nordic Spa…although I wished it was a bit more private. Once the trees grow around it, it will help. Recommend a bathing suit if you plan to use it. Fire in the fire pit at night was nice. Staff were helpful & friendly. Small onsite market and filtered water fountain available for guests. Coffe, tea & banana bread available in the mornings. There are bikes for guest use but we did not try them this trip. Only complaint was that the bed wasn’t comfortable. For only being 8 months in, the mattress already had sunken spots.

My husband and I visited for an Anniversary weekend. It was close to trails and hiking while being adjacent to downtown Highlands. Loved how environmentally conscious they are.

Quiet, peaceful. Good place for relaxation. Close to downtown shopping and dining. But, all advertised amenities were not yet available, somewhat of a disappointment.

Excellent stay for a wedding in town; the room was cozy and well-appointed. Loved the little touches like the gas logs (easy to use!), the tea, the bathrobes. The bed was incredibly comfy and the room felt clean as a whistle.
We'll be back!
