We live 90 minutes away in Hendersonville, NC. Was looking for a special place to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We came for one night. It was perfect from start to finish. The hotel’s public spaces are beautiful, the grounds are well maintained and thoughtfully designed. We had lunch at their pizza restaurant and it was delicious pizza. My wife had an 80 minute massage, which she raved about. We stayed in the Lee King Suite, which was spacious and amazing. Also, an aside, it may have the best shower I have ever had!! We finished the evening with drinks at the bar, followed by dinner at Madison’s. All perfect. Great food, great setting!!! We came just at the beginning of the season and it was our first visit to the hotel and the Highlands area. We plan on coming back in season next time and get the full environment and beauty the area provides!!

Spent my wife's birthday in Highlands, NC. The staff addressed her at each location with "happy Birthday"

The hotel is nice, the dining staff is fabulous but the management team is awful. The combative over the smallest of little issues that get brought up. Stay elsewhere but dine here for sure — interesting given that they aren’t even on-site but in a different state.

We stayed 1 night for a birthday celebration. Furnishings in room a bit tired, Bed very soft, Newly remodeled bathroom w/walk-in shower and heated floors. Food at restaurant Madison good. Hotel staff and wait staff at restaurant good. The hotel had numerous trainee staff working w/regulars to learn the ropes.

Thank you so much to the GM and staff of the Old Edward Inn for making my birthday extra special. We were offered a complimentary mimosa upon arrival as we waited for our room to be ready. The room (Lee King Suite) exceeded our expectations. It was so cozy with a fireplace, fridge, heated floors and towel rack in the bathroom with every other possible amenity. The shower was great and complimentary Dove ice cream bar was a special treat. The location of the room was perfect as it was in the Lodge building overlooking the fire pit. It was quiet but, also close to everything. We can't wait to return when it is warmer and more of the restaurants in town are open.
