This is a full service hotel. Coffee and granola bars in the lobby in the morning, cookies and lemonade in the afternoon. A water fountain to fill your water bottles. Cozy seats everywhere for games and drinks. Towels at every pool (2 indoor, 2 outdoor). Kayaks, peddle boats, and paddle boards at the lake front are included. Excellent bathroom amenities with high flow showers. It is not cheap to stay there, but the facility leaves you satisfied that you received what you paid for.

We had a bit of a rough stay here. We booked a premium room/suite that was near both the lake, and one of the outdoor pools. The state health department closed the pool due to unsafe conditions on the first day we were there. It did not reopen for the length of our stay. We politely mentioned we were disappointed when they text us asking how the stay was going. No apology was even offered. They just told us to use the other pool which was at another property, down the street and very crowded. We also had very noisy guests above us. Not the hotel‘s fault, except for the fact the old rooms mean you can hear a lot of noise. Lastly, the power went out. It was a planned outage due to construction, but nobody told us about it. The room got really hot. We also did not have Wi-Fi and we were unable to do any work in the room. When the power came back on, I let the desk know that we still did not have Wi-Fi. Again, no apologies. I would normally feel bad leaving such a negative review, but we gave this property multiple opportunities to address the issues, or even just show some compassion and apologize. It seems to me, it’s not very well run.

Lakeside Living

It was roughly 15 years ago we stayed at High Peaks Resort with the kids when they were about 5 years old and we brought them back this year for a new perspective. The first time around we stayed at a room in the Main Resort, this time around we stayed at a room in the Waterfront Collection. Excellent room with obvious wonderful views. We stayed just off the pool area Waterfront Collection rooms so that we had an open view of Mirror Lake morning, noon, and night. Open your door and you are 10 yards from the water. From 8 a.m. - 7 p.m. there will be guests right outside your room relaxing in chairs and using the various water craft (paddleboards, kayaks, pedal boats, etc.). It reminded us somewhat of a beach so we did not mind the relative lack of privacy just outside the room. We stayed early week in July for three nights. The room itself was very clean with the large bathroom being the highlight, wonderful spacious shower with overhead shower head. Several channels on the TV but no movie channels and satellite picture not that great in the mountainous area. Fabulous location. High Peaks rests on the edge of Main Street with "walkabiltiy" perhaps he best overlooked feature: walk to Main Street for shopping and restaurants or go in the opposite direction for a nice evening walk along Mirror Lake drive. There is even a short mountain trail (Cobble Hill Trail, 0.8 mi) just off of Mirror Lake Drive that my daughter and I hiked one early morning. Beautiful view at the top.

The property is NOT wheelchair accessible, there is no way to get down the lower pool, lake area with a wheelchair or stroller, unless you carry it down 2 flights of stairs. Only way I to the lake is off the dock and you have to be 16 to take any water equipment out. Half the staff spoke no English or it was “their first day” when the maid came to our room to clean she took all the towels and left no new one, had to call down to get some! Be careful if you use the outdoor lounge area by indoor pool you’ll get locked out and only door that doesn’t have key card access back in. The property itself was beautiful and clean and the restaurant was delicious!

I loved our stay. The view was incredible! Staff was very friendly and attentive. The only constructive feedback I have is that the rooms could use updating. The walls are paper thin and we could hear children running around and dogs barking through the walls. And the shower leaks very badly onto the bathroom floor and presents a level of danger while using hair dryers etc.
