Trailborn Highlands, North Carolina
Trailborn, the recently launched hospitality brand celebrating the American outdoors, unveiled its second destination in Highlands, North Carolina. Nestled on more than four forested acres, the 63-key property includes a cozy lobby lounge, a breakfast nook, and the forthcoming Highlands Supper Club housed in a historic 1924 log cabin. Public spaces are infused with pieces that nod to local crafts like quilting and pottery, while the Nordic spa showcases rustic architecture fitting the Blue Mountains location.
