Great place to stay, minutes from Dillsboro and Sylva.

It was clean, we loved the view (right on the river). Everyone was really nice and the breakfast was excellent. It was a full breakfast, not just pastries. They had eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, toast. Lots of choices to eat. It was in kind of an out of the way place, so it was pretty quiet while we were there.

The room with the balcony over the river was so nice and peaceful. The guys at check in were fabulous. They had many suggestions of places to dine and things to see. The room was quiet and clean. The complimentary breakfast had a wide variety. The lady that kept the items refreshed was super nice. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it it.

Very peaceful by the river. Beautiful views. Nice having an indoor pool, jacuzzi. If you rather be outside there is a fire pit with chairs, (fire wood provided too!). Nice breakfast provided in morning 6-9:30am. We really enjoyed the stay!

The Gentleman at the front desk was very friendly. The shower curtain was installed not high enough resulting in a foot of the curtain at the bottom folding into the tub. It is a slip hazard. I hope they will correct this. Other than that it was a perfect place to stay. The rooms on the riverfront with a balcony were wonderful!
