"My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our two-night girls trip. Our room was in The Lodge building which was great! Coffee, continental breakfast foods and snacks were available 24 hrs in the lobby. Very clean, very nice staff. The inn and spa is 30 seconds down the street, so not inconvenient at all. The spa was beautiful and comfortable, and the staff accommodating. We enjoyed massages and facials, and loved the pool and jacuzzi. We had dinner one night at Foster's restaurant in the Inn. The food was delicious and the staff was great. I will definitely stay at the Common Man again in the future!! "

"There late at night each night & view N/A Parking lot in back near woods & animal life was an adventure, yet not in their control."

"Steele Hill is absolutely beautiful! My room was clean and comfy and reasonably priced for a resort! I will say check in can be confusing as they said I was staying in the main building. The map only says east building, west building etc. You would think the brightly lit building on the hill would be the main building, but that’s incorrect. A sign outside the buildings would be really helpful, especially for people arriving after dark like I did! Also, the hotel is located on the top of a hill, about 5 miles from the closest town, and only has one restaurant/option for food. My complaint is that I booked the hotel with specific plans to eat at the restaurant for dinner and everything I saw said it would be open- it was not. This isn’t cosmic, but definitely inconvenient when it’s the only thing close by and I’d specifically booked the hotel knowing I was going to have a late day and planning the restaurant around that. Overall the resort was absolutely stunning and the view cannot be beat!! Highly recommend staying here for a lovely getaway!"

"Dated but great! Tennis, trails, pools, and a gym. Friendly front desk staff. Well equipped condo."
