Great stay
Stayed in the resort building and highly recommend. Thanks to Lea (I think?) at the front desk for helping both me and my sister out with our rooms and making both our stays fantastic. Say the lake house rooms though and they are dark and feel dated. I’d definitely stay in the main building. Paddle boards were an excellent amenity.

Breathtaking location
We stayed in High Peaks for two nights in a waterfront room (716). The location is absolutely breathtaking. The room itself was very spacious and comfortable, I gave it a 4 star for comfort as bed was a little hard for my liking but I know that is personal. The staff at the waterfront were helpful and friendly, the kayaks, paddle boards etc are free of charge and readily available. The hotel itself is in a great location in the town within walking distance of everything. I would highly recommend this hotel and would return without hesitation.

Great Views of Mirror Lake and Surrounding Hills
Easy check in. Nice clean room on the 4th floor overlooking the pool with views of mirror lake and surrounding hills. Loved the card access for parking and the convenience of the rooftop parking with direct access to the 4th floor. Nice large bath with rain shower head as well as hand held.

Dog-friendly Hotel with Great Views
We stayed at High Peaks Resort twice and had a lovely stay both times. We chose this hotel because it is dog-friendly, and we do not like to board our senior dog if we don't have to. It has a great location and beautiful views. The hotel provided a dog bed, dog bowls, and a cute bandana for our dog. The first time we stayed, we had a room on the first floor overlooking the pool with a door that opened directly to the grass outside, which was really convenient with our dog. The second time we booked too late and there were no first-floor rooms available. But I would recommend requesting a first-floor room with outdoor access if you stay with a dog. The views are beautiful (see photo), and you can easily walk to Main Street from the hotel.
