At this price range it would be hard to find a better stay in this area. The room had a mountain view and there was a nice little lounge area with a fire pit under a lovely tree. It was a great way to relax before bed. There was also a separate heating system in the bathroom which was much appreciated on a chilly morning. This is not the fanciest place one could stay in the area, but the owners have made an effort to make it welcoming.

This hotel reminded me of a mom and pop hotel. The staff was super friendly. A nice younger guy checked us in. He was really friendly. There is a restaurant on the property and they have a small bar. The waitress and the restaurant manager were both very nice. We only had appetizers and one drink each, but it was very good. The room looked exactly like it did in the pictures. It was very clean and the bathroom was spacious. The carpet had a couple of little stains, almost like somebody had dripped coffee but nothing major. The air conditioning was a window unit, which was fine, but I would have liked to have had a film on the windows so you couldn’t see in. When you closed the curtain all the way you didn’t fill the air as well. The room still stayed cool. The bad was very comfortable.The town has a couple of other little restaurants. It’s about 20 min from Banner Elk and 40 from Blowing Rock. The town definitely is not a tourist destination but we felt safe. I would stay here again.

A must read review! My fiance and I, stayed the weekend at Shady Lawn. We rented a king room and were given a room at the very front of the hotel and figured the sound of traffic would not let us rest so we ask to change to a different room on the upper part of the hotel. We were told all that was available was a double bed and all the king rooms were at the front of the hotel which is close to the road. We accepted the double bed room. Without a doubt we were given the worst condition room in the entire place i wanted to cancel my reservation then but knew that it might be impossible to find another hotel with availability so we stayed. The carpet in the room was nasty, stained, had torn places even turned our feet brown on the bottom. We found a fake eye lash stuck on one of the comforters, stained mattress cover, trash in bathroom, ceiling falling and leaking in the closet, the main door would hardly latch and the fact they dont have dead bolts on the door is a little concerning. Mattresses are worn out and beds sit low to the floor. After checking out i noticed a $56 charge to my credit card I called ask why the gentleman was very nice and said it was a fee for changing rooms and he would refund it which he did. It really bothered me they charged my card without my permission so I spoke to the owner and ask for a partial refund because of the condition of the room and he refused. He said you received a discount, NO!! I paid what Expedia advertised!! and a trashy room! Als

Not impressed. Carpet dirty with greasy film. Dirty walls in bathroom. Window a/c with wooden shutter blinds that covered entire window. No privacy for window above a/c inless you close entire wooden shutter - which does not allow for you to have a/c. Curtains were not moveable to cover window either. Had to hang a towel to cover. No dead bolt or security for door - just a twist lock on knob.
