Wonderful place to stay in Highlands. Clean, quiet, easy walk to town. Atmosphere is nice. Rooms are perfect. Also meets our budgetary needs in a town where accommodations are ultimately unaffordable. We greatly appreciate Trailborn Inn.

It was close enough to town to walk if you wanted to do it…we chose to drive to town. Only suggestion…have extra cups or glasses for water…we had to empty our coffee cups to drink water. Prefer to have real coffee not instant. There was no creamer.
