Fodor's Expert Review The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge

Freshly renovated from top to bottom in 2018, this resort on the shores of Lake Chatuge offers gorgeous views and thoughtful amenities. The rustic yet elegant lodge has a welcoming lobby with a towering fieldstone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the lake. The spacious rooms and suites offer patios or balconies and are tastefully decorated in neutral colors. With a saltwater pool, tennis courts, lawn games, and boat rentals available at the marina next door, there’s plenty to keep you busy. Be sure to make time to relax with s'mores by the fire pit each evening, weather permitting.
