The resort offers a peaceful and luxurious retreat with fantastic amenities, including a private lake and numerous hiking trails. The rooms are beautifully renovated and well-equipped, but the town nearby can be quite pricey. While the hiking trails and lake activities are wonderful additions, the soundproofing between units could use improvement for a better stay.

I had an overall pleasant stay at the Fairway Forest resort in southwestern North Carolina, which is a great base for exploring the nearby mountains and waterfalls. While the recently updated accommodations were comfortable, the firm beds might not suit everyone. The check-in process can be a bit tricky since it's two miles away from the property, and some facilities are not right by the units, but the surrounding area has so much to offer for nature lovers. Overall, a solid value for those looking to explore the outdoors.

Rooms

The two-bedroom townhouse units are spacious and have a nice layout with balconies overlooking the golf course. However, the firmness of the beds may not be ideal for those who prefer a softer sleep surface.

Service

The staff was helpful, particularly Blake at the front desk, who resolved our room mix-up. However, I found responsiveness could improve as my earlier call about the refrigerator issue went unaddressed.

Location

The resort is well-located for accessing hiking trails and nearby attractions like the Smoky Mountain National Park, but the amenities require a short drive of about two miles.

While there are decent facilities, including a community center with pools and hot tubs, they are not conveniently located next to the units, which can be a hassle.

I had a wonderful time at this resort, which is conveniently located near Cashiers and Highlands. The units were spacious and recently renovated, making my stay very comfortable. However, the amenities like the pool and grills were a bit of a distance away, impacting my overall experience slightly. Still, the access to the private lake for fishing and kayaking was a highlight.

We had a great time at the resort during the beautiful fall season! The unit we rented was spacious and well-equipped, making our stay very comfortable. However, our experience was somewhat marred by maintenance issues and less than ideal service with the front desk. The location is nice for exploring nearby hikes and towns but can be inconvenient regarding the proximity of amenities.
