This is a terrific place- we stayed for three nights in early May. The room in the main lodge (dry Falls Room) was large and comfortable with a great view of the front lawn and the pond. My wife struggles with lots of food allergies and the staff went way over the top in providing great food she could enjoy.... More

We arrived late to find our key waiting for us- our room was warm, pristine, and stocked with everything we could want, right down to delicious mints on the pillows! We enjoyed the romantic fireplace and woke up just in time for a delicious breakfast. We spent the day exploring the charming town of Highlands and came back just in... More

Spent three nights here. It was excellent. Will return. Attention to detail may the best I have seen. Jetted tub, gas fireplace all worked perfectly. Breakfasts were excellent. Staff never missed turn down or room cleaning and did so unobtrusively. Grounds very nice. Wife and I hiked their little local trail and found it charming and a perfect way to... More

We have been sneaking away to this place for our anniversary for several years, and just returned from another wonderful long weekend. The setting is peaceful and pristine, from the lake to the front porch to the living area with fire always going. The staff is warm and attentive. The rooms are lovely and cozy with just enough luxury. The... More

We had our son's wedding on 9-10-11 at The Inn at Half Mile Farm. It was a picture perfect event. Kate and her staff were so pleasant and she was spot-on as the wedding director! She managed to corral everyone and get through the rehearsal with a great sens of humor and no wasted time. The rooms were gorgeous and... More

Janet, I'm so happy we could be a part of this special day! Weddings can be quite stressful, so it's very gratifying to hear that we helped everything go smoothly. Highlands is indeed beautiful and easy to fall in love with. I'm glad that everyone enjoyed their stay with us, and more importantly, the wedding! Thanks for the lovely review.... More

I was recently here for a wedding and had the best possible time. The food was beyond wonderful and the rooms comfortable and clean. But by far, the most amazing service I have ever received from a hotel/bed and breakfast. The staff there was absolutely amazing. We were stuck at the Inn at one point without a ride into town....

The Inn at Half-Mile Farm was the venue that my now husband & I chose to host our wedding Sept. 17th. When we first laid eyes on the property we fell in love. Who could resist a serene mountain retreat. The rolling lawn, pond and landscape was exactly what we were searching for. We wanted a place to bring family... More

We attended our niece`s wedding last weekend, and part of our congratulations included her (and our new nephew of course) choice for the occasion. We were very impressed with the country style layout of the cabins, the pleasant disposition of the owners and staff who were always eager to please.

I came here for a wedding recently and even though the inn was full to the hilt every concern was met without hesitation. Our room was gorgeous!!!!! Beautiful bathroom with a large Jacuzzi tub and walk in shower (a rare find in B&B's with such old-North Carolina charm!). One of my favorite things about the room was the private view... More

The property is beautiful. The breakfast was delicious....however...the staff seemed very inflexible when we tried to book additional room nights. We were there for a wedding (Friday and Saturday) and wanted to extend our stay beginning Thursday night and possibly extend through Sunday night. I was specifically told they require a Two Night Minimum? I still do not understand the... More

Though The Inn at Half Mile Farm does have minimum night stays, adding a Thursday or Sunday night to a 2 night stay would certainly have met the minimum requirements. We encourage our weekend guests to arrive a day early or stay an extra day and discount the rooms at the inn by approximately 50% for Thursday or Sunday night... More
