We chose this place based purely on its location and hoped for the best. It didn’t wow us, but it didn’t disappoint. My biggest issue is that there was no one in the office for check in, our key was in an envelope with our names on it taped to the office door with a page of instructions, and we had to call the number on the instruction sheet to find out about things like the wifi only to be told that it was in “the notebook”. The notebook they referred to was buried in a basket that I had to dig around and find. The notebook had interesting information in it, like a page instructing us not to turn the a/c below 70° or it would freeze and we’d have no a/c. The dishes in the cabinet and drawer were not clean, guests are to wash, dry, and put dishes away and someone didn’t seem to understand what that means,

Great little place. Just a bit dated.

This place was great. Parking was tight, but enough spaces available. Rooms were a bit dated and could use some general maintenance. Never met the front office staff, but check in and out was easy. The view made up for any problem we may have had!!

Our stay was amazing. You are transported back in time to this quaint, little, cabin like room and property. It is quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Property is right on the river. We sat by the river on the swing in the mornings. I sat on a rock reading a book for hours while listening to the sounds of the river. At night, we were able to make a fire and hang out with other guest at the fire pit.

Owners were super nice and accommodating. Room was quaint for just 2 nights, not a lot of moving around room. The bathroom did its job, towels were soft and plenty, even had makeup towels and complementary essentials. Just some mold up the walls and on the ceiling, there was no fan in there. The river was the nicest addition to the stay. Since the room was small, it was nice to sit out on the rocker or go down on the rocks and watch the river. The downtown tourist area is a minute down the road. It is such a nice spot we would definitely consider coming back.

What a lovely and charming property!! The view out the back porch was tranquil. I was surprised we had such a nice mountain and river view! The room itself is adorable, clean, and has a homey feel. The owners are very kind and accommodating, and the coffee out front in the morning was great! We had a wonderful two-night stay, and we look forward to staying again! The ceilings are a bit low, but we are 5’6 and 5’9 and did just fine! Thank you again for looking up firework information for us!

I have mixed feelings about this place. The location was ok. I LOVED the creek behind the place and I would stay here again just because of that. I LOVED seating on the porch looking at chimney rock also while listening to the creek and birds. Ok I love nature and the back of this place did it for me. The property itself is fine, BUT only bcz I’m 5’2. I could touch the ceiling and my arm wasn’t even fully extended. Anyone over 5’6 would have to dock. No coffee in the room, but they do provide coffee in the front office.
