"This is a wonderful place to stay if you're looking to be close to the strip and still have a mountain view and access to the creek. We stayed on a 2nd floor room, that was very clean including a nicely tiled shower. Most of the parking was gravel/grass, after some rain there was some mud but there is pavement parking closer to the building. They have a Tavern on location that is great and priced right. However, the Tavern is open to the public. The pavement parking spots by your room ended up getting filled due to the Tavern's customers. We would suggest those front by the room parking spots be designated to those staying at the lodge. Overall, it was a great stay, we will be staying there again."

"The inn is absolutely beautiful. Loved the huge front porch with the resident yellow cat, the game/puzzle room, and all the antiques in the hallways. The breakfast that was included was delicious and the dining area is beautiful as well. I was surprised how cool the inn stayed without any air conditioning. The ceiling fan and open windows kept us comfortable all night, even on the 2nd floor in August! The only downside was the mattress in our room - it was extremely firm with not much padding. My daughter is a junior at WCU and I've stayed at several hotels in the area, but this was by far my favorite. I'll definitely be back!"

"Property has a lovely view, convenient to small retail shops of Lake Junaluska and Chapel. The property is showing its age in several areas. The hotel could use a remodel, or at least a full inspection with repairs. Coffee should be available all day in the lobby, instead of only tea. The cafeteria could use better planning for group meals. Shellfish should not be served."
