8/10 Good
"A hidden gem!! A wonderful hotel along the river. Just a short little drive to downtown Dillsboro. Dillsboro offered a great brewery, pizza spot, nice steakhouse and an incredible Bbq restaurant. We stayed 5 nights. I had to make 2 reservations to accommodate the five nights. The first night I paid for a balcony room but was very disappointed they put us on the first floor. The rest of the trip we were on the 3rd floor. Great views of the river, wildlife and canoers. Breakfast was mediocre, but average for a free breakfast. Jessie, one of the receptionist, was very helpful. We will be back."
