Charm! Charm! Charm! From the moment I drove up in the driving rain, until pulling out in the drizzle, Highland Dell Lodge exceeded my expectations! Check in was the self explanatory keys in an envelope taped to the door. The lobby was cozy and artistically designed with board games by a river stone fireplace. Up the stairs to my modest sized room with a balcony overlooking the river and I found the peace I was hoping for to ring in the new year. French doors I opened to the sound of the rain and ducks greeting each other. A comfortable bed, crisp linens, good options on the TV, and a shallow but long bathtub gave me much needed repose. Sleep came easy after hearing the sounds of revelry echoing on the river at Midnight. In the morning, included breakfast in the event center. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays with lights, a tree, village houses and gifts. Continental breakfast options included fresh fruit, yogurts, hard boiled eggs, juice, cereals, an array of fresh baked goods, and more. The patio with a bridge and river view was a tranquil spot for my first meal of the new year. A checkout and chat with the amiable host and owner of Highland Dell completed my stay. I highly recommend a stay, or even hosting an event at this beautiful and comfortable venue.
