The cabin we were in needed a lot of TLC as to painting. The refrig had large scap marks on it, and the molding on the bath door had a big finger print and paint worn completely off. This cabin should not be rented as is. Also the area around the wall ac/heat unit was in terrible condtion letting cold air easily enter the room. Staff was excellant, grounds beautiful.

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!

The staff could not have been nicer nor more helpful. The cabin, however, needs some serious upgrades. Electric heater and outlet in light above sink was primitive at best. While cabin can sleep 6, seating in kitchen could only accommodate 5 and 4 in living room. Description of property is misleading. There is a grill, but not useable.. Same for fire pit, it is there but filled with leaves and debris, not useable. The back deck off the bedrooms had acorns, leaves and branches on it. hard to walk on and the 2 chairs there were dirty and moldy. Couldn't be used so we had to stand while on the deck. Fireplace in living room is nice touch, but since there wasn't any firewood there we couldn't use it? Would be nice to have place mats for glasses and dishes on the table.

We’ll be back, Nantahala!

Our stay was excellent! From the moment we made the reservation the hotel staff reached out to us and confirm and to let us know about the hotel. When we arrived, the manager was AWESOME!! She checked us in, gave me a tour, told me about the local amenities and every time we saw her she was friendly and helpful! The rooms were beautiful for it being a 1930-40’s hotel and we had no problems at all. The pool was relaxing and across the street is a great coffee/ice cream/bar and lounge. Super friendly folks there too! We had a fantastic time.

Something they don’t mention that was amazing view if you walk to the top of the hill near cabin 23. The view was breath taking. Also the pool was perfect!! We will stay here again for sure!!

This is the third time we have stayed here in the past 5 years as it is very convenient to the Nantahala river for white water rafting. It has always been a bit dated , but since our last visit they have been updating the property. Things are looking much nicer and more comfortable. The staff is always very nice. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
