This place is off the beaten path, but so worth it! You can't beat the views when you are at the top of the mountain...the staff was so sweet and accommodating. The room was clean, parking is very convenient. A unique breakfast is served everyday. If I could change one thing I would have preferred breakfast be served a little earlier..they serve it at 9AM. But that would be my only "criticism"... :) I highly recommend this place and will stay here again!

Nice mt. top views after a .5 mile drive up a gravel rd. Rooms are primitive. No a/c and very limited privacy since the patio doors must stay open to get air circulation into the rooms. On-site meal options were a fixed menu breakfast no earlier than 9am or an expensive price fixed dinner by reservation only.There is no on-site bar service so byob. Nice property but next trip to Highlands we will stay in Highlands.

NEGATIVES-GREATLY LACKING IN AMENITIES ON THE GROUNDS. NO TV. INTERNET WOULD NOT WORK FOR ANYONE. CELL PHONE SERVICE VERY WEAK.ONLY 2 CHAIRS FOR EXTERIOR SEATING OUTDOORS IN THE COMMON AREAS. OVERPRICED ONSITE MEALS. DIFFICULT TO FIND THE PROPERTY AS SIGNS INTO PROPERTY ENTRANCE DON'T EXIST OR ARE CONFUSING AFTER ARRIVING ON THE GROUNDS. PRICING FOR THE CABINS IS HIGH. MINIMALIST FURNISHINGS AND DECORATIONS IN CABIN. POSITIVES- HIGH ALTITUDE,3800', WHICH MEANS COOL AIR AND NO AC IN CABINS GENERALLY NEEDED. GROUNDS ARE WELL MAINTAINED AND CABIN WAS VERY CLEAN. NICE MOUNTAIN VIEWS. QUIET ENVIROMENT. STAFF IS RESPONSIVE BUT NOT OVERLY WARM AND WELCOMING.

Used Fire Mountain as overflow lodging for Family Thanksgiving visit. Very friendly and accommodating. Allowed for a safe and healthy gathering with family that might not have been possible given concerns of the risks of the pandemic had Fire Mountain not been available to us. Thanks for your part in our family memories!

The “treehouse” room we occupied had no TV, refrigerator or microwave. The only chair was a foot off the ground and uncomfortable, the sink had no flat surface for toiletries, and it took 12 minutes for hot water in the shower. The road up Fire Mountain was a butt-jarring, car damaging experience. Since we don’t pay for spas or hike, we left after one night and went to a Hampton Inn. This is NOT a boutique (their term) resort.

Incredible views and location. Cute, clean accommodations. Delicious food. Only downside is the owners are very particular, and while they mean well, their tone/delivery when you if don't do things exactly their way can be harsh/condescending. I don't think they mean it, but it comes out that way. That added a bit of tension to the overall experience.

Beware of very strict check in policy!!! Only two hour windows from 1-6. Anything after 6 was a inconvenience to owners. No tv and little WiFi in rooms. Overall beautiful property but the owners where very uptight and not very friendly. Asked for restaurant options in town and received none. I had to ask another guest for ideas. Breakfast was good but very small portions and coffee was poor tasting. Very disappointed overall with the stay considering the very high price per night.
