Staff was so friendly. Property was clean and safe.
Dana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room was on the third floor but there was a lot of noise from doors slamming, thumping sounds and footsteps running. Since the room was at the end of the hallway and on the top floor I thought it would be quiet. We left a day early because we couldn’t get any sleep.

We love it here!
We have stayed here many times, and absolutely love it! The location is convenient near the freeway and close to Dillsboro & Sylva (which I love!), all while being tucked away in the woods to watch the river peacefully flow past! The staff has always been fabulous, the facilities clean and comfortable, and the food plentiful and delicious.
