    The hotel of choice in Bryson City. Well-maintained and beautifully designed property, great base for 2 nights in Bryson City. Exceptionally comfortable beds, central heating and a seating area in the room. Had amazing location close to everything and tastefully decorated rooms. And right by the various hiking trails, the Smoky Mountains, close to Cherokee and Asheville and local restaurants and such.

    We had a lovely stay at this cozy inn. Located close to the town, we could easily take the scenic train ride or dine at local restaurants. the room was comfortable and clean, and the bathroom was well-maintained too. the breakfast was delicious and filling, with great options for dietary restrictions. In our free time, we enjoyed the peaceful porch and garden area, while also taking advantage of the fire pit and lending library.

    The lack of televisions on the property may not be suitable for those who enjoy watching TV while on vacation.

    The hotel is located in the hills, just outside of town, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The rooms on the first and second floors are well-appointed with charming decor, and some even have private balconies. The staff is attentive and friendly, making sure guests feel welcome and taken care of. The breakfast served at this hotel is delicious and a perfect way to start the day. Plus, the attention to detail and basic amenities provided add to the overall value for money.

    No improvements needed, everything was satisfactory.

    The rooms at this charming inn were beautifully decorated and filled with amenities. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony, watching the chickens and wild turkeys next door. Building a bonfire and introducing guests to S'mores was a highlight. The breakfast we had was absolutely delicious. The only drawback was the rock stairs, which were a bit challenging for us. We would have preferred a walk-in shower with grab bars. I highly recommend this inn for a delightful and cozy stay.
