We enjoyed our stay at HMH. The tavern food was delicious, the room was comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring Highlands. The HMH bikes were a fun way to see the town.

The room was too small. The bed was enclosed by walls on three sides so it was difficult to get in and out of bed. Also the bar and restaurant was closed to a wedding event for one entire evening. This impacted the parking

Great place. Located within walking distance from the downtown, my wife and I could enjoy both Restaurants and shopping. There was a great highing and trails to follow with in a few miles. Definitely a return visit will be scheduled.

Cozy in with happening restaurant and bar

Great inn with a nice bar and band on Thursday night from 6-9pm. Outdoor music is a bit loud and off-putting, but service was very good at front desk and cozy fireplace was nice in lobby.
