My youngest son had a long weekend so we decided to find a hike or two in the mountains. We stayed the night in this hotel. We had a room with 2 queen beds and a balcony overlooking the river. That balcony is well worth the small extra fee. I got so relaxed sitting out there that it seemed I'd never get my blood pressure high enough to get out of the chair! Great trip and opportunity to have time with my "boy"!
We enjoyed the location right by the river. We were able to get to Cherokee, NC for the play "Unto these Hills" in just half an hour. Franklin, the Gem capital of the world was just minutes away. Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad is 30 miles away. Great access to everything we were looking for. But then, it was hard to tear ourselves away from our patio by the river.
The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable especially Ms Worley. The room was was clean and the river view was fantastic. We will definitely return to this place. The breakfast was great. The parking lot was very open spaces wad secured.
With such a beautiful picture of the hotel and the great reviews, I had high expectations. I wonder if those reviewers stayed at the same hotel. While the terrace overlooking the river is lovely, the river sounds are almost lost to the roar of air conditioners. Our room was badly mildewed though reasonably clean otherwise. Finally, the breakfast was just awful. They feature something inedible they call "egg plops," lacking for any other name for it. We stayed four days and did have a reprieve from the plops on one day. The coffee is acceptable but the orange juice seemed too sweet to be natural. The good news is that the staff was lovely and friendly, it's not their fault!
I had a very nice stay here, while traveling for work. I thought I only needed to stay one night, but ended up needing to stay another, so I spent the night in two different rooms. One was a king bed suite, facing the parking lot. The other room was a first floor 2 queens room with a river view. Both of the rooms were clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable in both rooms. The tv had lots of channel options available, which can't be said for a lot of hotels. The location of the hotel is what really sets it apart. Work only allows me a certain stipend for lodging, but glad I spent extra out of pocket money for this hotel. I got takeout for dinner and ate it outside on the deck, overlooking the river. So peaceful. The second night, I had breakfast included with the stay, and sat out on the rocking chair outside my room to drink my coffee and eat. Was a very nice way to start the day, perfect way to get centered and focus on the busy day ahead. The breakfast had a nice assortment of hot and cold breakfast items, from bagels and muffins, fruit and yogurt, to eggs and protein options. The first morning they had scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy. The second morning they had sausage and little omelets. I normally don't eat breakfast, but since it was included with the stay... why not? Lastly, shoutout to the manager working both of those nights, Josh. Long story short, but he was able to find a room for me when I wound up having to unexpectedly stay longer, when the options weren't looking so good. The hotel was booked solid for that second night, but a last minute cancellation saved the day, and so did Josh! Overall, a super pleasant stay here. Will book in the future, and won't mind paying a little extra for a guaranteed nice stay!…
Beautiful location and views. Very nice hotel and area but a bit overpriced. Excellent staff and service. Very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast bar and kept well stocked and clean. Will definitely stay again! Excellent area restaurants.
First visit to this area and we were extremely lucky to get a room that looked out at the river. Wonderful view and very relaxing being able to sit on the balcony to enjoy the view. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Nice selection at breakfast and Inn provided an attendant who was very friendly and attentive to our needs if we needed help. Definitely stay here if we are in this area again.
Great spot nestled in the mountains. This property is very well-managed. Clean, comfortable, and very hospitable. There’s plenty around to walk to and enjoy. Just staying on the property and enjoying the amenities and view is good enough.
A gem nestled behind the quaint town of Dillsboro, you will find your River escape. With a breakfast that exceeds that of your average hotel, you will also find a snack room with every craving covered from a glass of wine to popcorn and ice cream. Enjoy your stay by relaxing on the deck overlooking the river from the main lobby or your room (just make sure to pick “River View”!
The riverfront location couldn’t be more relaxing, refreshing or beautiful, with only water and trees in sight. The staff members were as welcoming and warm as the setting! We do hope to return in the not too distant future.
