Highlander Mountain House The Ruffed Grouse Tavern

Adorable Hotel on the main road in downtown Highlands. My room was impeccable and stylish with a very comfortable bed. The lobby is cozy with a wood stove. The hotel staff was polite and welcoming. After I checked out and was good at my car home, they called me to know that I left my AirPods in my room. I really didn't want to turn around to get her because I miss putting my son in bed. The GM offered very kindly to send her home instead. I'll stay with the Highlander every time I come back to Highlands! Book now, you won't regret it.

Great hotel. So picturesque and in the best location and the most beautiful interior. I don't write reviews, but we were definitely disappointed by the service during low season. No fire in the lobby and the bar/restaurant closed at 5 p.m., that was so enthralled as we were so excited to drink a front dinner there. The hostess also turned all the lights down and had no music or anything that made the vibe very unwilling. There were many visitors who were not at the hotel who also came to drink a drink and were also turned away what I think is a missed opportunity. Finally, we asked the hostess if we could buy at least one bottle of wine that she overloaded us at $80 and fortunately we caught her. I would stay in this hotel again, but definitely not in low season.

Came here for NYE. $150 per person. I ordered steak with stone crab. Steinkrab wasn't cracked. How are you eating stone crab that isn't cracked? We asked for more Bernaisesoße and were told there was no more? I thought it was strange because the Bernaisesoße can be manufactured quite quickly. Band was great what was a saving grace, but no NYE horns or hats or something were offered. I know I could be bought at Ingalls 4 for $7 for a Huthorn and Popper. Surprising given the cost. And here we were all dressed in sequins and this woman was sweating and jeans running around to help the servers. All in all very disappointing for $150 per person.

Our favorite night spot in Highlands! The storage room is cozy, authentic and perfectly curated. The staff is gracious and hospitable, and the food and drink are excellent. Very recommended!!

Great atmosphere and great food! Super cozy and a cool vibe, definitely will be back!
