We live near the course, but will drive to Brevard area in order to play on a decent course or just piddle around at RedBird, the Par 3 nearby.

There was a mixup in our dinner time one evening and one of our spa reservations accidentally got cancelled. Nobody could adequately remedy either. We paid for an upgraded room, which felt small and cold -- in large part because the fireplaces had all been turned off for the season. We certainly would not have booked a room with a fireplace if that information had been disclosed! For a resort at this price point, not much was included. We felt nickeled & dimed the entire stay and cannot in good conscience recommend this property.

We are similar to many guests who returned to High Hampton after the renovation. We stayed once…read morearound 25 years ago when the place was known for "newly weds and nearly deads". The renovation is outstanding. As opposed to many renovations where the character of the place is destroyed (The Cloister on Sea Island for example), High Hampton's mountain charm remains with exemplary accommodations, culinary skills, and service. They have essentially a co-op program with nearby Western Carolina University, providing them with a pool of talent, always a challenge for remote locale resorts. The charm remains with no TVs in the rooms and a wide variety of games in the lobby. Not just board games, but games of skill. They have not bowed to the temptation of a video game room. Amenities were first class. Ample tennis and pickle ball courts and a great croquet lawn. We did not golf but the course looks in great shape. The staff service level was 5 star resort quality as was the menu. Only giving it a 4 as the Kids Camp is just glorified baby sitting. We had a five year old and we could see the campers were unsupervised, particularly preschoolers. We saw the counselors just turn the kids loose at the pool and lake and in some cases not even watching them but standing around talking to each other.

Taylor Stetson who is the manager promises the world and then doesn't deliver. The service is supposed to provide quick response times to the needs of the property owners, and when needed subcontract workers to the home for approved services. Once you sign their abusive, one-sided contract, attempting to lock you in for life, with auto-renewals and huge penalties if you want to cancel, you'll then understand that this isn't a real company providing real services. Once they fail you, and they will, they will just bill you and threaten you. Do yourself a favor and don't sign on with this scam service company.

This was highlighted in "Our State" magazine, I think last year but I could have saved the article from the year before, but this was one of those items on my "local" bucket list to see. I love the Shadow of the Bear in Cashiers! The "Shadow of the Bear" is visible for 30 minutes daily (on sunny days!) between 5:30-6:15 PM from mid-October through early November as the sun sets behind Whiteside Mountain between Sapphire Valley and Highlands, North Carolina. It's best seen on clear days around 5:30 p.m., with the show lasting for about a half-hour. The photos below are from 2022; I'm pretty sure we'll visit again this year. PS I agree with Ginger L. that the camaraderie with all the people standing on the side of the road to watch is an experience in itself. A note of caution, to view the bear, you park your car on the side of a road hugging the edge of a mountain and people crossing the road that has a curve around the mountain so use caution while driving through the area and walking along the road!!!! But its all worth the view!!!
