Shana D, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lots of questionable little things. The desk in the room is about 6 inches too hight to actually sit and work. The curtain rod in the bathroom is about a foot too low and the shower curtain puddles in thw tub.
Jason L, 8-night trip

It is a beautiful property. It is right beside a river. The employees are very nice and the breakfast is a full hot breakfast and it was really good

Dana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We love it here!

We have stayed here many times, and absolutely love it! The location is convenient near the freeway and close to Dillsboro & Sylva (which I love!), all while being tucked away in the woods to watch the river peacefully flow past! The staff has always been fabulous, the facilities clean and comfortable, and the food plentiful and delicious.
Charmagne, 3-night trip

Gerard, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A beautiful setting with fantastic staff
Anna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room was on the third floor but there was a lot of noise from doors slamming, thumping sounds and footsteps running. Since the room was at the end of the hallway and on the top floor I thought it would be quiet. We left a day early because we couldn’t get any sleep.
4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the property. We enjoyed our visit and will definitely stay again.
Katrina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were there for a 1 night stay to take our kids to the polar express train ride. It was clean, quiet and the beds were actually very comfortable. We would return here if we come back to this area.
