We love it here. Our daughter goes to school down the road so we always stay here. It's very nice and quiet. We love to sit outside and watch the river.

Fantastic view of the Tuskaseegee River

The location of this hotel on the banks of the Tusk river is incredible. The facilities are great. The room is large, with a sitting area and sleep sofa. Free wifi, great TV, refrigerator an microwave. Located in or very near the quaint towns of Sylva and Dillsboro.

Nice deck on the river, fresh plantings.

Awkward being given wrong room #, waking up person, 2 trips to front desk to sort it out. No sheets provided for sofa bed - 3 adults reservation. Clean. Very comfortable king bed. Many corvette owners and cars on site- fun finding that on arrival.

Lots of questionable little things. The desk in the room is about 6 inches too hight to actually sit and work. The curtain rod in the bathroom is about a foot too low and the shower curtain puddles in thw tub.
