I have to say, my stay at this hotel was pretty mixed. On the one hand, the view from our room of the Tuskeegee River with chairs outside to sit on the bank and watch the peaceful river views was absolutely stunning. However, I was a bit disappointed that my room was facing the office instead of the river. The cleanliness was top-notch, though.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and situated perfectly along the water, making evenings delightful. The service was exceptional, with kind and helpful staff making sure we were comfortable. The location was ideal, right on the river and close to all the attractions in Bryson City. However, there were some dining options missing, and the facilities could use a bit of improvement.

The setup with the keys in the room and the note on the office door to just go in could be improved for better convenience.
