| Introduction |
|
The Highland Inn is in the quaint, picturesque village of Monterey. Monterey is nestled in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains and is fondly referred to as "Virginia's Switzerland". This area is beautiful, unspoiled, and rich in history. Today, the Inn is serving as a lovely reminder of a way of life gone by. The Highland Inn has eighteen guest rooms in all, each with a private bath. All rooms have been individually decorated with antiques and collectibles. Each room has satellite TV, but no phone! WiFi and a PC are available. Guests are welcome to enjoy our parlor or relax on one of the porches, which run the full length of both the first and second floors of the Inn. Telephone use is free. A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning to guests featuring fresh fruit, freshly baked breads or muffins, boiled eggs, cereals, Columbian coffee, tea and juice. This wonderful breakfast is served in the Black Sheep Tavern from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Rates range from $79 for a Traditional Room to $129 for the Premier Suite.

| The rambling Highland Inn (formerly the Hotel Monterey) is the premier architectural landmark of this mountain community. Built in 1904 as a resort hotel, the three-story frame structure stands as a symbol of the economic and social history of Western Virginia. In more recent years, the combination of a more hurried way of life, easier long-distance travel, and air conditioning has resulted in the demise of nearly all of Virginia's mountain resorts. The Highland Inn is one of the few lodging places of its size to continue operating. | Because the town of Monterey is at 3,300 feet, a light blanket is usually needed on summer nights, due to the cooler summer temperatures. Trails and mountaintop roads provide breathtaking panoramas for hikers, horseback riders, and bird watchers alike. One can explore the site of the Civil War Battle of McDowell, or the picturesque Blue Grass Valley, or view a spectacular foliage display in the fall. The county is known as 'The Trout Capital of the Eastern United States'. Deer, turkey, and small game abound in Highland's National Forestlands. |
