The bed and the outdoor view of the mountains were the only things that were satisfying. Deception of cabin quality was ridiculous. Way overpriced ,staff was courteous, check in was easy. Made birthday getaway a bit sad. Hope they improve true description of historic cabin.

This was a nice getaway for me and my wife. So clean and cozy. Feel like we found a hidden gem! The staff went above and beyond. It was my wife Birthday and they put flowers in our room for her! Something they don’t mention that was amazing view if you walk to the top of the hill near cabin 23. The view was breath taking. Also the pool was perfect!! We will stay here again for sure!!

Overall the hotel was a very nice hotel. The hotel is being renovating but the room that we had was already completed. The room was clean. The only issues we had was that the water would come out of the faucet blue, but it’s because of the old copper pipes. After you ran the shower for a little while the water would be clear. The hotel had free sausage biscuits and coffee which was very good. Overall, we had a very nice stay and we would stay here again.

This is the third time we have stayed here in the past 5 years as it is very convenient to the Nantahala river for white water rafting. It has always been a bit dated , but since our last visit they have been updating the property. Things are looking much nicer and more comfortable. The staff is always very nice. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Great Experience!

Traveling through North Carolina, we found this place by just looking around on Google Maps. I am so glad we did. After booking, they called to verify the arrival time because the check-in desk closes at 5. While I thought this might be an issue because we were not going to get there until after 7 pm, they assured me it would not be and that there would still be someone on-site in case there were any issues. We arrived a little after 4 pm and the check-in was a wonderful experience. I always have a ton of questions and they were super nice and extremely helpful. We stayed on a Wednesday night and their bar area doesn't open for the week until Thursday. No problem, there is a place literally across the street that has all kinds of beverages and bar food. We had several drinks and headed back across the street. They had a game room where I won my wife a prize on a claw machine. They have a few arcade games, pool tables, and ping pong. We hung out in one of their sitting areas that have amazing views. The bed was super comfortable and it had 5 or 6 pillows, so no need to bring ours in from the truck. Woke up to amazing views of the mountains, sat on rocking chairs on the porch, and ate fresh sausage and biscuits. The only thing that could have made the stay better is if the pool was open. Although we would have frozen! Just a little too early in the year for that. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in North Carolina!

the room was well maintained, but I could not give a good rating because:1. one-ply toilet paper 2. outside fireplace not working 3. cold shower 4. the towels are the cheap kind that don't dry you 5. so many bees you could not enjoy the back deck (I know they can't control the bees but at the corner of the deck was beautiful flowering tree that is causing the bees). 6. the game room had one bathroom out of order and the other locked. 7. They had several areas not open (pool, waterfall and lounge). 8. the front deck closes too early. 9. only one trash can in the bathroom no trash can at the coffee area. I would like to suggest to the owner or manager to spend one night in each unit over the next year and self-rate for total comfort. Ask the question is this what I want for my quest. It was very disappointing because the property is very beautiful.
