Room was small but cozy, however, there's a huge front porch/deck across the length of the hotel with rocking chairs plus "picnic" tables. The property has hotel rooms and cabin rentals. The hotel rooms have been very nicely updated and decorated by the new owners and cabins will be updated soon. There's a beautifully landscaped waterfall and bushes planted around the fenced in pool that give a sense of privacy. My sister and I had a quiet, relaxing stay. Highly recommend!

WORST beds EVER!

This is the worst beds we've EVER experienced and i'm 54 with COUNTLESS vacations. the beds must be over 30 years old since it made a 'V" when i laid down in it. first, double beds are ridiculous today. my wife and I couldn't share a double bed and she's only 5'2" and 110 pounds! so we split our 7 and 8 year old kids between us. because the beds were SOOOOO old and the 'v' my daughter, sleeping with me, kept FALLING down towards me and woke me up COUNTLESS of times. you can buy $400 mattresses that are reasonbably firm! there is NO excuse for 30 year old mattresses! SOOOOOOOO disappointed!

We cut our trip short by one day and left early. The staff was very nice and tried to be helpful but we found the other occupants to be very rude. People were smoking marijuana around our room and partying until 2:00am. We reported.to staff and they were accomodating but we got no sleep. This was not the cute "inn" we were expecting. Its an old motel that has had some updates.

We had a lovely stay. It’s evident the owners make every effort to ensure each stay is wonderful, and ours was! The updates are appreciated, yet none of the charm is lost. It’s a safe and secure place to stay in town, and the added charm is noted. Would stay again anytime. Thank you!

I slept in one of the two beds and woke up around 5:30 to find about ten bug bites on my right side of torso. That’s the side I slept on. I went to the office immediately and showed the staff the bites and asked them to change sheets when they do their daily chore. She was sympathetic and agreed. We left the hotel at 8:30 and came back around 4:30pm. I thought the staff had taken care of the bugs so I lay down on the same bed and rested. This time within an hour i was bitten on my back a dozen times because I was on my back this time . I jumped into shower and stripped and searched my clothes, didn’t find anything, so I knew the bug was still in the bed. I sent my husband to talk to the staff again. She explained that they did everything they could. She was truly apologetic and sympathetic. She asked for pictures of the bites so we did take pictures and texted her. She came back saying if we check out then the owner will give us a full refund for that day. It was 6pm. We decided to leave as I was exhausted and couldn't take another round of bites. Between physical discomfort and mental stress, having to find a place to sleep last minute or to disappoint our child by ending the trip sooner and heading home, and financial loss of cancelling the next days activities which we paid for already, we had a very stressful experience that day there. It was Saturday and we emailed about the refund on Monday morning but we never heard back. Not a confirmation, not an apology, nothing.

Wow what a view you can Chimney Rock flag flying high there. The lady at the front desk made you feel like family. Rooms are set up in country style and feels like home away from home. The bed was so comfortable that I went to sleep right away . It close to the village and close to Flowering Bridge

Great little one night getaway. We stayed in the Mimosa cabin so cute and clean. We walked past the waterfall to the pool and was almost disappointed as the pool looked void of any water. Nope the pool was that clean the water was so clear ! Inn is close to everything.

Nice place!

Fantastic overnight stay. Room was clean and fresh. Early evening (SAT NIGHT) a little loud music from the restaurant/pub across street but that ended early. I love the porch rocking chairs and view of mountain! I might suggest to owners that they don’t allow guests to smoke directly outside of their room, but perhaps a designated area down at far end. Often when I opened my door to the porch, I could smell cigarette smoke. Otherwise, a great place to stay!
