Nice stay. It's an older place. Overall happy with the stay. Comfortable and staff was very nice. But there were negatives. Room is on the small side. TV was small. Bath vanity was very small. Beds were small, with no nightstand on one side.
Probably would not stay here again.
Very hospitable and helpful staff. Laura at front desk, particularly informative. Beautiful location and walkable all around lake. Great restaurants and entertainment nearby Waynesville.
I truly enjoyed walking around the lake and viewing the old chapel and all of the beautiful flowers. The rocking chairs and seating areas all around the lake was very nice. We will return!!
Quaint little town tucked away on a pristine lake. We had a nice stay and loved the long deck with rocking chairs where we drank our coffee in the morning!
Great location (right off the lake). Clean, friendly staff, and a very reasonable price.
