Great family vacation!

Great family vacation! The grandkids loved the hotel and location. There is so much to do in the area and the kids favorite day was the hotel day. Perfect for a quick weekend getaway or a longer stay. We have been multiple times over the past 5 years and will be planning our next trip soon.

Melvin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful river view

Overall, our stay was very nice. The deck overlooking the river provided much needed relaxation. The hotel is close to everything we wanted to do, plus some. Our only complaint is the beds are not very comfortable. We found them to be on the hard side.

Booked this place just because of the riverfront balcony. But after staying here I’ll definitely be back. I honestly can’t think of a single thing to complain about. 10/10 would recommend for the money

Fantastic view of the Tuskaseegee River

The location of this hotel on the banks of the Tusk river is incredible. The facilities are great. The room is large, with a sitting area and sleep sofa. Free wifi, great TV, refrigerator an microwave. Located in or very near the quaint towns of Sylva and Dillsboro.
