"Easy check in. Beautiful old hotel. We had a king suite on the first floor. It’s a little bigger than some & I didn’t want to deal with hauling things up. I didn’t know until we were checking out I could have wandered around and looked at things. It’s kinda like a museum in some areas. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The bathroom needs some minor changes. The shower curtain clings to you, needs to be longer w magnets. There’s absolutely no place to put any of your bathroom items or makeup. A small table or low shelving in the closet with no doors would help. Closet is in the bathroom. The shelf over the toilet leans & if touched things start to slide forward and it’s directly over the toilet with NO lid. Back of toilet there’s an handicap rail & prevents much of anything there. It does have an older look to fit the time period, but there needs to be some adjustments to have places to put your bathroom travel things. Small microwave and refrigerator. Tv is very high up & very small and it’s across the room from the bed. Being so close to the ceiling I got a creak in my next trying to look at it from the sofa. Man made lake/pond is across the road. Not far from chimney rock entrance & reason we were there. There’s so much going on and it’s coming back slowing. So much work to do in so many areas it’s gonna take time. Restaurant is closed and there’s no breakfast or anything around serving any so bring stuff with you or wait till lunch. "

"We absolutely love this property. It's clean, quiet, full kitchen, washer and dryer, Jacuzzi tub & the staff is amazing. Always helpful and friendly. It has become home away from home. "

"The property exceeded our expectations in both cleanliness and coziness. It was the perfect anniversary get-a-way for my wife and I and our four legged Potcake dog, Figgy."

"Everything was great! We have already booked again to bring our two grandsons and can’t wait. "

"Absolutely loved our stay here. Beds were super comfortable and the walk in rain shower was awesome. The owners have a wonderful eye for decor. I appreciated the attention to even the tiniest detail. The only thing wrong was we weren't there long enough! I'm excited to return and share this gem with the rest of my family"

"Hhhh"

"Taking into consideration that the town is still pretty quiet and much is still not open due to Hurricane Helene, we had a pleasant stay. It was our anniversary weekend and I thought I had booked a room with a hot tub, but had not. The place was empty so I asked for an upgrade to the hot tub room, the website said there was availability and of course I was happy to pay any fees. The management said the room was booked for the weekend. I never saw any other cars come onto the property and the only one that did stayed 2 doors down from us in a room similar to ours. It’s a place to sleep. Nothing more or less. No in room coffee, microwave, or even a hair dryer. Pretty but very basic "

"The place was just as advertised. It was very clean and in a quiet neighborhood. They provided coffee and detergent for the laundry and dishwasher. The hosts were quick to reply and very helpful. We would book this again! "

"Very nice room and cleaning service way great. Breakfast could be more but great coffee "
