The property is beautiful, serene and quiet. Breakfast was wonderful and the views just breathtaking. Definitely recommend this place for adults who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.
Convenient driving distance to restaurants and The Great Smokey Mountain park.
Clean room, nice room, unique being not the run of the mill hotel. No staff at main lodge so that can be troubling if you need to speak with someone or have difficulties getting in to the lodge. Breakfast was good a bit different than regular hotel breakfasts.
We really enjoyed our one night stay here. The lodge is located in a beautiful wooded area with a trickling water feature below and Mountain Views. The bed was super comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! Although there are no staff on site, they assisted me to retrieve something I left there. They couldn’t be more helpful! Overall, I highly recommend this small, unique lodge.
We stayed at the lodge in "Rustic Comfort". The bed was so comfy!! The view from our bed was beautiful! This is an older property but very clean. Our first time using digital chack in and it was a bit confusing at first. Staff responded quickly to voicemails and got us squared away with early check in and codes.
The room was clean and check in instructions were easy to follow. Breakfast was delicious each day. Parking was fine but sometimes not enough space to park at the end of the day. Not too much they can do about that. The only thing that was lacking was not enough utensils/plates/bowls etc in the room. The view was amazing and the property provided a great deal of privacy. I would definitely recommmend this location and stay here again.
Love the whole back in time and nature all around. Very well appointed. Loved the shower but felt it needs a mat or something to keep your feet from slipping out under you when it’s wet.
