Cabin #45
The cabin was very cozy and comfortable. The fireplace is great! Mirrors on the top of the bed was very odd. The bathroom floor oozes water up through the floor due to missing or cracked grout. A major future issue if not repaired. Reported it to tge front desk.

An average stay along the way
It was an average stay. Check in was easy but there was a little uncomfortable moment between the women checking me in and a gentleman offering directions. Pictures on the website made it appear to be better kept in regards to the play area and pool. It was a convient place to stay on the way to tweetsie railroad with decent prices. Overall i have no major complaints.
The photos online are misleading. The room smelled of mold. The bed frame was made of vinyl that was ripped, cracked and exposed materials that could not be cleaned or sanitized. The bathroom was covered in hairs that been there from many previous stays.
Rented a cabin that fit our needs perfectly. Two college kids, one parent and a dog. The motel is old and I can’t speak to the rooms - they looked a little sketchy to honest. But the cabins are behind the motel in an entirely different street. I’d totally stay there again.

When we arrived, the room we were initially given had a few things that still needed to be cleaned so we called the front desk to make them aware and see if we could just get someone to clean it. The front desk promptly called back and offered us an upgrade instead. Not only did they come and look at it themselves, but they showed us to the cabin we'd be in and were extremely kind and went above and beyond to make sure we had a stellar experience! We will definitely be back!

First and last visit
Rooms are outdated by 30 years. Doors were hard to open and close. Walls are paper thin, you can hear EVERYTHING your neighbors are doing. Whirlpool is extremely loud.
Stayed with a friend during the Boone Rang festival it was super fun

Old place, not filthy just needs repairs. Wood burning fireplace would be nice in winter. Whirlpool tub was useless, no water pressure, just a trickle of water, ran out of hot water before water level was up to jets. Neighbors in other rooms either drunk or drugged up, up all night screaming about fighting the Illuminati. I asked for refund agreed to $299 waiting for refund. Not a Master Host Resort. Possible section 8 housing??
It was a great place overall. It was spacious and had a balcony with a nice view. The location was great for where I was going. The only thing I would say is that it was a little overpriced and should have been no more than $100.

The furniture and bedding could use an upgrade. Actually the whole rooms could use it.
The draperier were pulled down. Their was a bag of trash with empty booze bottles on the deck and a needle cover.
The room smelled of stale smoke. The decor is dated and furniture worn out.
*The bed slept great!
*The location for parking was very tight.
*The TV was too small, but the cable service (ie., the
channel guide and number of available channels)
was excellent.
*Coffee pot and cups were good; however, there were
no coffee packets in the room upon our arrival.
When we called about it, we had to go get it
ourselves…..possibly no room service available? *There was no ice machine at our lodge and the ice
maker in the main office generated ice very slowly. *The room in general was rather old and dark and in
need of major updates.
*The price seemed high for the quality of the
accommodation.

Could use updates and a deep cleaning but the staff and views make up for it. I’m physically disabled and was given a first floor room. However, the restroom was not handicapped equipped: raised toilet, shower etc. But next time I will let them know my needs more clearly.
