Harmony Ridge Lodge

Harmony Ridge Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Harmony Ridge was fantastic. The room was clean and spacious, the beds firm and comfortable. We loved the jetted tub and the porch leading to a forested area was great to walk around and explore. The breakfast was tasty and the staff very friendly. Would easily stay here again!"

The Inn at Nakoma

The Inn at Nakoma

8/10 Good
"The Inn was in a remote area with lovely hiking trails of all levels. The golf course was quite challenging, but very picturesque, greens fees are reasonable and a golf cart is included. The main restaurant served good food, but was not open for dinner on Monday and Tuesday. The bistro served good salads, sandwiches and flatbreads until 8 pm. We drive a Tesla and unfortunately there are few compatible charging stations except at other hotel destinations. This is not one. The restaurant and pro shop are housed in a Frank Lloyd Wright designed building. Considering the planning and expense of this resort, I’m sure a couple of Tesla charging stations would bring some attention to this beautiful resort"
