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
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.

I had just a standard room had microwave and fridge no cooking I saw other guests with dogs there’s room to walk them staff were all awesome
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!
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The hotel is outdated and it was clean except for a couple of spiders in the room and dirty towels that the maid used to wipe down the room before we got there (I guess she forgot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.
Bed was comfy and location easy to find, other than that if you dont have a budget and dont want to stay in a fancy hotel stay here. Bathrooms are horrible and rooms are old not updated at all and the A/C was old and full of rust.
Very rustic but clean. River view friendly staff. Nice stay

Staff and location were great. Beds were comfortable but we were disappointed because our room showed picture that had a back door leading to a deck overlooking the river. We didn’t get a room like that, just three tiny windows looking at the river. The room though, that’s a different story. It smelled musty and the wood paneling was falling off the wall. The blinds were old and dusty along with the curtains. The bathroom was worst. The shower head doesn’t go above 5 feet, the towels were dirty and there were cracks in the floor. The drywall was coming off and it just looked grungy.
Called eight times and waited almost 2 hours for someone to check us in. Called corporate twice and was hung up on without ever being answered. Property view was gorgeous. Unfortunately, we won't ever be able to enjoy it as we won't be returning. We were told by another person staying there that the only way to get anyone to answer is by calling the police. I am happy to report that we did not do that.
