Our stay at the Ridges Resort was a mixed bag. While we loved the beautiful surroundings and cozy vibe, the issues we faced regarding our room and noise levels left us disappointed. The amenities like the fire pit and dining options were highlights, but the overall experience could certainly use some fixes.

The Ridges Resort offered stunning views of Lake Chatuge and a unique experience with its evening s'mores by the fire pit. The rooms boasted a cozy lodge feel, but I encountered some issues with humidity and cleanliness that dampened my stay.

The resort boasts a charming mountain ambiance and stunning lakeside views. I particularly enjoyed the cozy decor and engaging communal spaces that made the experience warm and inviting. Despite these positives, some aspects of service left much to be desired, particularly during busy events. Overall, while the location and amenities are appealing, improvements in staff responsiveness would enhance the stay.

The Ridges Resort offers a picturesque location by Lake Chatuge, with potential for a lovely stay, but several areas could use improvement. While the check-in process may be a bit rocky and the dining options limited, there are still clean rooms and comfortable spaces to unwind. The charges for amenities seem unwarranted, leaving some guests feeling disappointed about the value for money.
