Awesome old, historic Inn. No TVs in the room and spotty WIFI did not detract from the wonderful staff, delicious breakfast and overall good vibes. An incredible value for a peaceful nights sleep, beautiful setting and delicious coffee and breakfast.

The property is fascinating in its Historic value. Beautiful with wonderful porches. It runs at a slower pace. Staff was nice but not always available. Heat was good for older place. Breakfast was good but not served until 8:00 and then not always on time. Folks were very friendly. The tub in room we were in had shower curtains around it- every shower your body was constantly touching the curtains.

The property itself is lovely..1900's era charm.. beautiful location...the breakfast was good....the bed was lumpy and the room was stuffy..also the light in the hallway was on all night..not a conducive environment for sleeping. The portable fan in the room was very dirty and not enough linens. The floors were dirty....

For a hotel over 100 years old, it was a step back in time. It was peaceful, quiet, quaint, charming, and just the place to unwind without noice, etc. The room was clean, the staff very friendly, and had the ambiance of the late 1800's and how the rich and wealthy stepped off the train to come to the mountains to cool down. Very good!!

The inn is absolutely beautiful. Loved the huge front porch with the resident yellow cat, the game/puzzle room, and all the antiques in the hallways. The breakfast that was included was delicious and the dining area is beautiful as well. I was surprised how cool the inn stayed without any air conditioning. The ceiling fan and open windows kept us comfortable all night, even on the 2nd floor in August! The only downside was the mattress in our room - it was extremely firm with not much padding. My daughter is a junior at WCU and I've stayed at several hotels in the area, but this was by far my favorite. I'll definitely be back!

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. For the building being over 100 years it is in great condition. Comfortable bed. Shower was a little tricky in the claw tub, so be careful. We did not eat at the Inn but that did have a nice small menu that looked good. Uber does work in the area, I advanced book my Uber and not last minute. Peaceful and quite. I would stay again.
