This is a beautiful little resort. The staff was friendly and the rooms were fresh and clean. That water pressure was on POINT. We booked a room with breakfast included. The Oaks was open at 7:30am. Waitress was pleasant, and the food was delicious! When checking in, they did not advise that there's a $40 limit on "included breakfast." We only spent $5 over, but even if we had to pay for the entire meal, it was well worth it.
We were here for a wedding and did not stay long enough to take advantage of boat rentals, but we were impressed enough that this hotel has been added to our weekend getaway list. There's a fun little bar across the way, Sandbar, and their food was also delicious. It was an easy walk from the hotel.
Kudos to the receptionist, Mary!

I've been all over the world and The Ridges has the best shower I've ever experienced. Great water pressure and temperature control. Most people either overlook or don't care, but a simple thing like shower water pressure sure sends a message the hotel cares. The outdoor lawn and landscaping down to the lake is well kept and inviting. |To work on: (1) the dirty and worn carpet sends the wrong message, not sure why the owners have not changed it. (2) The resort fee is a rip off. Stop trying to gouge customers for amenities like a tennis court or work out room which is included at most hotels. (3) We did not eat at the restaurant after taking a look at the menu and seeing $48 for steak, $24 for a hamburger and chicken in the 30's. Get real, people are in Hiawassee not Bellagio and do not mind paying for quality but some of that is out of hand. (4) Costa Coffee in the morning is a nice touch, but lose the gas station capsules and have real cream, set the coffee in a nice location vs. a nook, and do not have the front desk employee in charge of maintaining the coffee service.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with The Ridges Resort! From start to finish, their team went above and beyond they were incredibly professional, warm, and attentive to every single detail. They truly treated us like family and took care of things before we even had to ask. As a bride, that kind of support was priceless and made our day feel so seamless and stress-free.

A very special thank you to Lauren, our event coordinator, who was absolutely phenomenal! Lauren made the entire planning process feel easy, handled every detail with so much care, and made sure the day of the wedding was flawless. Her organization, kindness, and calmness made all the difference we truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

The hospitality from the entire staff was unmatched. Every question we had, every need that popped up, they handled quickly and gracefully it felt like they genuinely wanted us to have the best day of our lives. Even the small details we didn’t think of, they were already one step ahead making sure everything was perfect.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning it looked beautiful in person and photographed even better! Every corner was picture perfect, which made it so easy for us and our photographer to capture memories we’ll cherish forever.

If you’re a bride looking for a gorgeous venue with a team that is professional, responsive, organized, and genuinely caring, I cannot recommend The Ridges Resort enough. You will be able to relax, enjoy your day, and trust that you’re in the best hands. Choosing them was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Stayed there this WKnd over Valentine's, resort is a strong word....rooms are dated but they are on the water, we had a water view room and the back door went right outside which was nice for our dog.

They have the Oaks which is an upscale restaurant and the marina which you can take a path and walk to as well.

There is no in room microwave but a community one by the elevators which we thought was strange. The room fridge is pretty small as well. The shower is the highlight in the room, it has amazing pressure, it's like a power wash and you don't want to get out, very hot water too. 🚿

There is coffee provided in the lobby and it's not great. Our bed was super firm so our hips were bothering us after 1 night. No breakfast included, you have to go to the restaurants and room service/delivery prices are NOT worth it. Many near by breakfast joints to go to.

We didn't have great weather this WKnd so Fri was the best day to walk around and explore. The lobby is pretty with a fireplace, no bar in the hotel but there is a small convenience area with beer/wine you can purchase. We do travel with our small dog, so glad they are pet friendly.

We had an overall great time exploring the area and enjoyed bell mountain and the graffiti rocks and views from the top, best to have 4WD to get up there.💓

I cannot say enough good things about The Ridges Resort. One of the best decisions we made was deciding to have our wedding here. From working with the staff to plan the day, deciding on menus, ceremony & reception set up, and keeping our boat at the marina, the day was flawless. Our family and friends that stayed at the resort loved it. This is truly an all-inclusive experience! There isn’t a thing I would change about the entire day.
