It is a very nice place to say, excellent continental breakfast. We stayed there and then the next day we went on the Smoky mountain train ride in Bryson City Tennessee.

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.

Nice Place
The hotel was nice. Everything was clean and comfortable. The only problem we had was with the guests. We had a kid practicing his sprinting in the room above us. Maybe put all kids on the bottom floor? Lol.

Life long memories
Beautiful hotel, clean, modern and the staff were very pleasant & helpful. The staff turned on the fire place so we could get a photo with our grandchildren. The location is great and so beautiful! We would definitely come back. I accidentally left a bag & the staff mailed it to me! I'm so thankful. Perfect hotel especially if you're doing the Polar Express train ride
