"It was walking distance to restaurants and shops. The rooms were Quant and comfortable. We will be going back again."

"The owners/proprietors/managers are the BEST ever. Friendly, hospitable, check-in super easy, rooms are clean, and honestly, we sat out by the fire and felt like we had been friends with them for an eternity. I have no doubt that we will return. "

"Overall the stay was excellent and we as a family or just myself plan to come back as the location is perfect for our desires between hiking really close by and places to eat or go grocery shopping. The only suggestion I have is for breakfast to have fruit as an option for breakfast. The amount of carbs and sugar options really needs something like fruit to balance it out for breakfast for us who are health conscious."

"This property checked every box we were hoping for during our Memorial Day weekend getaway! It struck the perfect balance of whimsical charm, cozy comfort, and a touch of luxury. After a long day of hiking, coming back to the outdoor space—with its fireplace and hot tub—was the ultimate way to relax.Inside, the home is thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need (or may have forgotten), making it feel like a true home away from home. The decor is unique, inviting, and full of personality. We brought our dog along, and were pleasantly surprised to find pup-friendly touches like dog beds, towels, and waste bags ready for use.The location is ideal—just minutes from wineries, great hikes, and quaint, delicious restaurants. Plus, there are so many amenities on the property we didn’t even have time to enjoy fully: pickleball and tennis courts, a peaceful river with kayaks and paddleboards… it really is an all-in-one retreat.We’re already planning our next stay—this place is a gem!"

"First the property was as represented -- this has not always been my experience. It is not exactly close to anything, but then not that far from lots of stuff. We fished in Tenn, one hour; Grandfather Mt, 30 min; Blowing Rock about an hours; drive on Parkway, 10 min.; Little Switzerland, 30 minutes; ate at Louise's Rockhouse, 15 minutes. With gate fell secure leaving stuff at the house when away. Definitely consider renting again."

"Excellent stay and lovely property. Wonderful place to join our family and friends for the weekend. The open floor plan was perfect for our needs. We loved playing board games on the covered porch and deck."

"The property is exactly as it is described! Good for the mind, body and soul!"

"Another great historic hotel"

"Were it not for a hurricane, the grounds around the main house would be beautiful. The owner/operator family, like other victims, is building back as quickly as possible. The interim condition of the exterior shows what they went through. The unaffected main house and our guest room were well-appointed and very attentive. The breakfast buffet provided to all their guests was extraordinary extravagant, as delicious and varied as you’ll find anywhere! A true 5-star experience."
