After looking over the website, Ridges appeared to be the nicest in Hiawassee.We were disappointed upon arrival,the grounds and sidewalks were covered in tree debris acorns etc. as if no one had maintained it in several weeks. The reservation was made for lake view and requested check in for 3 to 4 pm when arriving was told our room was not ready at 3:45 ? The place was virtually empty.So we waited until roughly 5:15 pm before we were able to get in our room. When entering the first obvious problem smell and very dirty feeling carpet. As for the view if you think seeing the tops of boat docks and hundreds of boats stored this is the perfect view for you! wow what a disappointment. 30 years ago I'm guessing the resort had an awesome lake view and grounds. That is long gone, it blends right in with the marina.Our room view was out a double sliding glass door that was damaged with age you could hardly open it. In addition the double pane glass was fogged due to age and that was prevalent throughout the resort. This resort is long overdue for a renovation.At $250 a night we expect way better than this, just glad we didn't rent one of the cottages at $450 a night!!
