Help
I never even got to check in. They do not have a front desk so i called and they made me wait over an hour and twenty minutes in the parking lot for a guy that never showed up. I had to book another room and pay for it through hotels.com and now i can't get a clear answer about being refunded due to the hotels inconvenience.

Employees were great, especially Kayleee. Food was excellent. We would stay again for sure. Only suggestion- We arrived early and sat in parking lot for a while because they didn’t open until around 3 and didn’t have a traditional front desk. View of stream from our balcony, cutting edge mountain lodge decor, and very helpful staff were all great.

Beautiful property, very clean both inside the room and outside. The staff were friendly and helpful. The a/c unit didn’t perform as expected. The room temperature was not ideal but tolerable. I Spoke with Maitre D the following morning about the a/c, she apologized and said she would have the unit checked. We only stayed one night, so I am unsure of the outcome. Despite the circumstances with the a/c, we would recommend staying at the hotel.

good stay
Room was clean and homey. Staff was very pleasant. Room had a small fridge and a safe to secure your money. Great shower. However, Lighting in the room is limited,no place to put your cloths i.e. closet or drawers, etc. Never saw a front office but staff was in the parking lot to assist. Very good for short stay.

Lovely! Would definitely stay again. A/C couldn’t keep the room cool enough but everything else was wonderful.

2/10 Poor

Doors did not lock
We arrived late so I had to wait on instructions to be sent to me for late checkin. The information was incomplete as there was no instruction on how to lock the hotel room door once inside. There was no deadbolt or latch. We had to move a chair in front of the door for safety… mind you this is in black bear country so this was also to try to protect us from that. The porch had large spiders covering it so we couldn’t enjoy it. The AC unit was extremely loud and didn’t work that well, room was warm. Overall, not a great or comfortable stay. We asked for a 50% discount which the manager said they would do but I haven’t seen that come through. Now I’m going to have to spend more of my time fighting for the money I am due.

Enjoyed our stay
Great location. Would have given five stars if not for some quirky issues such as incredibly small parking spots, issues with shower drainage, and the need to request toilet paper (started with only 1/2 a roll). All requests were handled by text as there is no lobby and they were handled very quickly for the most part. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The balcony was great overlooking little Pigeon River.
