it was nicely located between Bryson and cherokee nc it was affordable it had a nice view of a creek or river it looks like a creek to me people were swimming and fishing in it
We enjoyed the stay. The staff were kind and helpful. The main reason I am giving it a low rating is because the pool was not opened and looked like it had not been for awhile! This was not clearly stated before we booked. With 5 kids that was a huge let down! We would not mind staying again if the pool opens! The rooms are dated and not very fancy but that didn’t bother our stay at all!
The rooms were clean and welcoming. For an older hotel the place was great. The river view was amazing. We brought 2 dogs with us an they so sweet to our pets. Air worked well and staff was very friendly. I will be visiting again

Second time staying after the GSMR excursion, rooms have been clean both times. Plenty of towels, only complaint is the property is a tad outdated but owners are so nice and very good for the price.
Super Chill, no frills. Affordable nice place to relax by the river. We will be back.

Room was pretty clean and the view from the deck was nice. Propert and room was nothing like the pictures posted. Air conditioning unit made terrible noise and property has serious sewer issues. No hair dryer in room as was posted. Very disappointing experience.
Adorable place…. Very clean. We got there late and unfortunately, had to leave very early in the morning so we did not get to enjoy it very much but we will definitely go back someday when we can stay longer!

Clean room comfy quiet the staff was Awesome!!! Will stay again
Our stay was exactly what we wanted: quiet, remote, nature, and a bonfire on the river! We’ll definitely be back. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with no frills, but a homey and cozy experience, this is it!
Our ten pound dog was welcomed by attentive staff making check in easy. The motel is well worn and dated with smoking left overs outside. The heating was old but worked well and controlled well. The beds were very comfortable and the place quiet and dark.

The hotel is outdated and it was clean except for a couple of spiders in the room and dirty towels that the maid used to wipe down the room before we got there (I guess she forgot them) but the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
