My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this lodge. The room was clean and had the basic amenities of a hotel. It was nice that we could bring mugs and plates from the main lodge back to our room. I also really liked the trash and recycle containers in our room. We had a beautiful view of the mountains. I would definitely recommend the mountain view, as the water view would have been disappointing. Our only negative experience was when we tried to cancel the reservations a couple of hours after booking through Expedia when we learned some areas nearby were still closed due to Hurricane Helene. It's on us for getting a non-refundable reservation, but it's on the lodge for canceling our reservation after talking to Expedia... Expedia contacted the lodge to try and get a refund on our behalf, but the lodge would not refund us. Expedia then left it to us to manage the reservation as we wished. We decided to keep our reservation since we would not get a refund. Thankfully, I called the lodge after they talked to Expedia to confirm our reservations because the lodge had canceled them. They were good about rebooking.

The cabins truly provide a taste of mountain life!

If a quiet, calm, leisurely time away is what you’re looking for, than this is the place. Sadly, there is still evidence of the disaster visible throughout the community, but it’s nice to see life there is mending. Be forewarned though that these duplex style cabins are set up like hotel rooms; they have the fridge and microwave, but the kitchen facility is located in the main building. That said, the kitchen is very large and resembles that of a cook-to-serve bed and breakfast - it’s quite large. The location is the moneymaker though - it’s right up the hill from a shallow accessible river. Naturally, all the other wonderful things about these mountains are near enough too! We toured caverns, visited a winery, and founds gemstones! To top off the evening, Lightning Bugs (a.k.a. Fire Flies) lit up the night presenting quite the display!

Good stay, hidden gem,

It was a family trip, loved this hidden gem, the property is very well maintained and clean, especially the rooms and the main kitchen area is awesome! Overall the owners took effort to give it an artistic touch! Overall we are enjoyed the stay, looks like hurricane and the wildfires damaged and the town is recovering well! One small recommendation to the owners is to watch the dog on property, it did scare my wife when it ran towards us, it became friendly eventually! Overall stay and service was good, would love to return again! Thanks

Great cozy spot in the mountains. We really enjoyed meeting up with our travel companions in the mornings and evenings in the Main Lodge. Next time we stay we'll take advantage of the kitchen facilities but we enjoyed the hot chocolate, tea and coffee during our stay. The rooms were immaculate and adorable, beds were comfortable.

This property is great for peace and quiet. The damage in the area from hurricane Helene has shut down a lot of trails, waterfalls, and parks. However, it is still very beautiful and we will continue to travel to the area and hopefully stay at this retreat again. Right now it's smart to bring your own food, there aren't very many places to go out to eat unless you prefer fast food. The main highway also has a beautiful gift shop. Spend your money locally, they need your help! I loved it there, we only saw a few people the whole time(our neighbor and the employee/owner)we were there but they were full of smiles and very nice! I recommend 💯. Thank you for your hospitality, we will be back!

Little escape

This was one of the most coziest little places I’ve been in a while. The owners were very nice and everything about the place and area was calming. We will be returning during the spring. Very kid friendly, if you love the outdoors this is the place for you. The views are breathtaking of the Mountains.
