Nantahala Village

Nantahala Village

10/10 Excellent
"Nantahala Village is, first and foremost, situated in a beautiful mountain location, looking out across a valley to other mountains in the distance. It is very close to Nantahala Outdoor Center and close to Bryson City, as well, so it makes a great base camp for excursions to either destination. The lodge has a very nice swimming pool that is clean and properly maintained. The lodge itself has been renovated and is very well done; the detail work in the decor is impressive. We loved the swing and rocking chairs on the wrap-around porch. Our room was freshly painted had new flooring, and was impeccably clean, but the mountain view from our window stole the show. The owner, Constantine, his front desk staff, and his housekeeping staff earn an A+ for hospitality - super people who will make you want to come back. The lodge also offers meeting rooms and a large, covered, open-air event pavilion that overlooks the mountain range - a great facility for a wedding, family reunion, or other get-together. A small, open-air, hippie-esque (I made up that term) bar across the road from the lodge offers some food items that were pretty good and had live music at night. The music could be loud, however, with plenty of bass to invade guest rooms in the lodge, but ended about 11:00. Otherwise, the lodge was a peaceful and quiet as could be - a great place to rest and recharge. Highly recommended - we look forward to our next stay at Nantahala Village."
