lake · quieter · family-friendly

Best for travelers who want a low-key lake retreat near Flat Rock attractions and straightforward family-friendly amenities like a seasonal outdoor pool and on‑site boating/fishing.

Quick Verdict: The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa vs Highland Lake Inn & Resort

When The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa wins: choose the Omni for scale and variety — 513 rooms across three wings, 11 on-site dining outlets, a 43,000-sq‑ft subterranean spa (18+ access), an 18‑hole Donald Ross golf course, and a broad slate of activities and meeting/wedding spaces.

When Highland Lake Inn & Resort wins: choose Highland Lake Inn for a smaller, more intimate lake-area base in Flat Rock with direct access to boating, canoeing and fishing on the property, complimentary breakfast, free parking and a quieter neighborhood setting near The Park at Flat Rock and the Carl Sandburg Home.

Bottom line: pick the Omni if you want a major resort with on-site wellness, dining and activity options; pick Highland Lake Inn & Resort if you want a compact, lake-focused stay outside central Asheville with simpler, family-friendly amenities.

  • Seasons Restaurant serves hotel guests; a bar/lounge closes out evenings with casual drinks.

Pools, lake & signature amenity

The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa – Pools, lake & signature amenity

  • Outdoor pool service from Cabana Grill; towels and loungers provided first-come-first-served.
  • Pools are for overnight guests and members only; spa pools are 18+ and available via treatment or day pass.

  • Fitness classes, tennis and golf provide active wellness options on site.

The Omni suits travelers who want a dedicated spa experience and evening entertainment without leaving the resort.

Highland Lake Inn & Resort – Wellness, nightlife & evening entertainment
