John and Kat were great guides and did a good job keeping conversation while me and my sis waited for the other guests to use the zip line. Learnt some cool tree facts and it even turns out John just got a book I've read before. Only wish I could've taken the full tour. My sister keeps saying the tour guides names were Jack and Kate for some reason though

What a fun way to spend a morning or afternoon! We went for a special occasion with our 3 kiddos -…read moreages 14, 12, and 9 and everyone loved it! There are varying levels of obstacles and zip lines on every course. Our favorite course was the zip line course, as it goes the highest into the trees and has the most speed for the thrill seekers :) The workers were helpful when needed, but mostly hands off otherwise. Because of the cool lock and safety system, it's really impossible to mess it up (unless you just totally don't clip in at all) and so easy to use and slide along from obstacle to obstacle. (see pics) We stayed for about 3 hours and enjoyed every bit of it! Highly recommended :) *Note - during the holidays, they have specials at a pretty big discount to buy tickets for the spring when they open.

There are also zip lines for young children plus a lot of fun for teens. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Update: I went to the yoga & climb class and it was a very nice experience! It was an outdoor yoga class on the deck. The class was a well worth-it, pleasant and relaxing outdoor experience led by Sharie.

The price of the reservations to do water rafting is extremely affordable for the fun experience…read moreyou get. We had a blast. The staff are amazing! The customer care was just that...caring! We had someone who last minute could not come and we planned on just eating the cost of their reservation as it was considered a same day cancel, we had no expectations at all. As we checked in, without a prompt to credit us, the check-in lady said "well we don't usually do refunds for same day cancels but how abt I apply that reservation fee towards a picture package and water shoe rentals?" We were pleasantly shocked! That was above and beyond customer care and I have worked in the customer service industry for years! The reservations included your PFDs and a warm water shirt if you chose to wear one. The training was informative and light hearted. No scare tactics just some good ole jokes and fun while learning to stay safe out on the water. Our tour guide, James, was funny, full of fun facts, and knew how to keep us safe but laughing the entire trip down the river. If you're on the fence about taking this adventure...don't be! NOC has got you covered!

I would advise if youre doing both to go rafting in the afternoon and zip lining in the morning. The river water is cold and personally would be too cold for a morning trip

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.
