YHC Basketball Tournament

Came to watch 1st and 2nd round of Conference Carolina Tournament and support our Young Harris Men's and Women's basketball team. Cheered both teams on to their 21st wins of the season. What an exciting environment. Now on to Spartanburg, SC for the Quarterfinals. Lets Go Mountain Lions!!!!

Not what it seems…

We came thinking it was something it wasn’t. Why a resort fee in the middle of winter? We thought the rooms were carpeted, but they were vinyl floors-evidently they were “upgrading”. We do not like those cold floor, and when I asked the front desk man to move us, he said it was not possible since the hotel was full and it was difficult to find a room with carpets. Okay, so the room was far from the elevator, going down narrow halls with a trolley. Our room was scarcely furnished, very small desk, and the fridge was a mini mini fridge-like taking up half the space in the cabinet. Yes, half of the usual size. No microwave, and our room was by the front door, where we could hear the music playing in the pull up area. Very disappointing. And it’s located right off a main road, not nestled up in nature, by any means. Pretty dated, could use an all around upgrade. Definitely won’t be staying here again, and actually couldn’t wait to get home.

The property setting is beautiful and is located on the shores of Lake Chatuge. Dining options on site and nearby. Marina, boat rental and storage on property. The facilities have some age on them but are still in reasonable condition. Friendly staff.

We loved the look but the guy at the FD when we checked in seemed to wish he worked somewhere else. Then we got a bucket of ice which looked like either machine was dirty or water was, or both.. Room was spotless, and rest of area was beautiful..would stay again..

No trashcan in the bathroom. And you charged me $170 when they only got 123 and that’s on top of the credit that I had in Expedia for 35 room was supposed to be $102.

I have had the privilege to visit this resort twice now. I love the atmosphere. The only thing I would change is that the beds aren’t super comfy but I also have back issues so they may be just fine to others that don’t struggle with back issues.

We’ve traveled around the state of GA many times from FL and we’ve stayed here three times now. Our first time we fell in love with it all. This time the only worth while is the restaurant. From front desk not being the friendly welcoming as it was to remodeling and floors not once vacuumed in four nights we were there. Our room was so worn and not even close to a resort experience. I got the feeling it changed hands and it’s not what it was. We for one, will be looking elsewhere next time we are in the area but definitely will make it to The Oak Lake Kitchen.

Quiet and pretty resort

We stayed at the Ridges Resort for Christmas while visiting family. The Pros: The resort's main area had floor to ceiling windows, overlooking a beautiful lake, a lovely Christmas tree and a warm fireplace. Definitley felt warm and cozy for the holidays. The rooms were clean. The cons: The resort was a bit on the outdated side. it took 10-15 minutes for the hot water to kick-in once the shower or sink was turned on. Overall a good stay. Very quiet without a lot of activity.
