My recent stay at Highlands Ranch Resort was rejuvenating. the serene environment and stunning views of Childs Meadow and the Sierra Nevada mountains made it truly nice. The luxurious amenities in my cottage, like the heated bathroom floors and electronic fireplace, added a touch of elegance. While the dining experience was fantastic, with Chef Joe's delicious meals, I did wish for faster service during peak hours.
