We stayed for a long weekend while my daughter had a lacrosse tournament in Asheville. We were able to have a delicious breakfast each morning, swim in the pool, and even paddle boarded one afternoon. It was a great weekend. The view from a lakeside room is awesome!

The hotel is in a lovely location and is very pretty. However it was not very clean. Our room had a sock in a corner and hair in the shower. The rockers and chairs on balconies were covered in cobwebs where you could not sit.
