"This is the best resort property in the arra by far - everything you need to stay hunkered down for a good time and reatful stay in beautiful surroundings . Staff is efficient,attentive and friendly. They keep this reaort prostine clean and running smoothly."

"Everything was good except for the people at the hotel having a car convention. They were very loud until at least 10:45pm. The hotel staff got them to quiet down the 2nd night after 8pm and it was better."

"Room was very clean and comfortable."

"This place is an inn from the 1920's that lets you literally step back in time. The whole place feels like you're in a time period movie set. It is amazing how well kept the place is, especially compared with the old buildings in the surrounding town of Balsam. Seriously though, if you want the finest amenities of a modern hotel, this is not the place for you. But if you want to experience a place that time forgot to destroy and enjoy a peace and slower pace of life for a while, this is a true gem. From the real door keys to the water radiator heating, the claw foot bath tub, and the creaking hardwood floors, this place just transports you to a time when every guest was special and the world was simpler. The water is even supplied from a mountain spring. For couples, this is the perfect romantic getaway. You can sit on the porch and watch the trees sway in the wind or read a book in the library. The Blue Ridge Parkway is only a mile away. And don't worry, while the amenities are basic compared to modern hotels, the bed was very comfortable and the linens were good quality. Better than a lot of modern places I've stayed. I really can't speak highly enough of the staff or the place itself. We really did enjoy it tremendously."

"Great place, very helpful staff"

"2nd time staying and would stay again. Loved the creek side. And basically loved the villa the only thing that we experienced was the shower and sink stopped up but the maintenance man came and fixed it emitely. The front is a teepee that would look awesome if it was painted.The grounds were well maintained had fire pit and grills picnic tables a very peaceful place. The staff is great."

"Nice place to stay close to the casino. We will stay again."

"PROS: Desk staff was courteous/ friendly; Convenient location to Sylva; Quiet; Plenty of outlets in room CONS: Dirty bathroom floor (had a lot of hair from previous occupants - uncertain if pet or human); Holes in linens on bed; Bed mattress was in terrible condition (far too soft, due to long-term use - on one side there was a permanent indentation, which made sleep difficult and uncomfortable) NO INFO: Breakfast, because we did not eat Overall I would not go again. The bathroom floor clearly had not been swept well or at all, which made us wonder how much had actually been cleaned. The mattress, though, was the absolute worst we have ever slept on. We are still stiff and sore after two nights of sleeping on it. There is no excuse for a mattress that is so worn down it has giant, deep indentations where someone is sleeping. Unacceptable."
