I checked in using their after hours procedure and everything was perfect! They were very responsive when I locked my key in my room and were able to get me back in my room quickly. I love that they text you to make sure you made it to your room and they always remind you to come by the desk in the morning for biscuits and coffee. I usually stay there when I take courses at the NOC but I plan to bring my family back soon. The kids will love the game room and pool (in the warmer months). With prices comparable and often times cheaper than nearby lodging I will definitely be coming back!

We have stayed at Nantahala Village Resort previously in the lodge and wanted to return for our anniversary. The Lodge is terrific. The cabin room where we stayed this time, not so much. I learned that the Lodge does not actually own the other cabins but does registration for them, so I don’t know how much control they have over maintenance and housekeeping in the cabins. That said, our stay in #14 was not up to our expectations. First of all, the view pictured on the website isn’t accurate any longer - two additional cabins have been built. Not a deal breaker but it was not what we were expecting. Secondly, though advertised with WiFi, there is none in the cabins, only in the lodge. Again, not a deal breaker, but not what we were expecting. The cabin on the inside was tidy but there was a lot of deferred maintenance: chipped paint in the room and bathroom, split wood on the bathroom door frame, a lamp that was very tippy on the right side of the bed and a switch on a lamp that was cracked and the electrical elements were open to the person turning the lamp on. Carpet also needs replacing.Exterior sidewalks were full of cuttings from the landscapers who were working on the day we checked in, but they never came back to blow it off the sidewalk. On the positive side, the room is very large with extra seating. Is well equipped with a small drip coffee maker as well as a refrigerator and microwave. It was nice to have a balcony to sit outside even with the compromised view.

They smell of sewage

The room smelled of sewage. When I discussed it, they told me the building was old and the gas is sometimes back up and they have to run water through them. Just letting you know the stench was unbearable in my room and had to sleep with the door open. otherwise it’s a beautiful property. The management was nice about my complaint and said they would compensate me on my bill and then I will get a message about it. I’ve got no such messages and no discount. Despite how beautiful the hotel is I would never stay there.
