    This was a clean and quaint place to stay. Dog friendly and roomy. We loved the dog run that let the pooches potty behind a fence for safety. We pray the property was not harmed by the flood as that area seems to be a target for a lot of the flooding we see on the news days after we stayed. Praying for the community and this little INN. The owners also communicated updates by text. They were great and we pray ok

    I had approval for two beds for me and my wife. Small queen size bed in very very tiny room shouldn’t costume $312.45 for two days!! No extra towels for second day and can’t get hold of person. I need my money back for this place and was discussing charging me this much for so little they provide. Worst place ever and service for all my trips so far

    Room had not been cleaned when we checked in. There was an entire spider web, centipede and brown dried stains in the bathtub. The room smelled like musty mold/mildew. There was no cover on the exhaust fan in the bathroom and spewed dirt all over when turned on. Lounge had no ice, exposed cables and wires and the fridge in room would NOT stay closed. The bed was so hard the floor would have been more comfortable. It was so uncomfortable that we left a day early because I could barely walk from being in pain and property REFUSED to refund the unused night much less apologize for the room being unacceptable. Shortly after it started to rain a brown liquid started seeping out of the bathroom wall. No idea what it was or where it was coming from. Be warned, they leave stale Sams club snacks in the room and their policy states they will keep your deposit if anything is consumed or used from the room. No price list in room makes this illegal and blatant theft.

    The contactless check in was very easy and convenient for our group, and the guesthouse was very close to the shopping and dining area. It also had a beautiful view of a waterfall down the mountain that can be seen from the porch. The staff was extremely helpful when we contacted them with questions, and we had a wonderful experience. We will definitely be returning customers!

    Handle fell off refrigerator, shower extremely small, shower head un-adjustable, lack of counter space in bathroom, dog barking, loud guests, refrigerator noisy, no table in room, no lighting in half the room. Staff is rated one star because there was no staff to rate.

    Everything was clean and I liked the self checkin. This is an older motel, remodeled. It was a little pricey for this, being an older place, but I did not take the time to research for this quick trip. Good location and amenities, I would stay there again, just not for that price.

    For the area this property is good. It has a great view so that makes up for any flaws it has. Pros- room clean and cool on a hot summers day. The area is super close to attractions, self check in and owner is quick to respond and courteous. Fridge and microwave. Nice lounge area with keurig coffee maker. Met cleaning staff she was super nice. Smart TV. Good shower. Easy Check in. Cons- older building. Smells of older room. Did not see fire extinguishers in ceiling. Extremely noisy you can hear neighbors from all sides and upstairs as well as road noise (right on the road). We did find a few hairs in the towels and bedsheets. Otherwise clean. The room was quaint and well lit. Different types of small bugs in room.

    It's cute but rooms are extremely small and it's odd not to have a front desk. The dog run is the best feature in our opinion. Also having window units for AC is not ideal.

    And, unfortunately, you didn’t put enough non slip strips in the bottom of the tub. One of our group, a 76 yr old woman, slipped, hit her back on the edge of the tub and fell onto the floor. Badly bruised. Plus the shower curtain is too short, water all over the floor.

    It was a nuce quiet hotel but really close to the road. The view was nice as long as you were looking out or up from the balcony. We were able to see Chimney Rock and the waterfall from the balcony. The campground across the street was a little rickety but our hotel was cute and nice. The beds were super comfy but with good support. The vintage looking mini fridge and microwave was a really cute touch.

    Property was quiet and clean. 1minute drive to downtown Chimney Rock. Only suggestions would be to have bigger trashcans in rooms. The ones available were tiny. There was no water in the lounge area. The water cooler was empty all weekend. Bring an extra pillow and the ones available are small. Other than that we would stay again.

    Basic room was comfortable and adequate for a one nights stay. Would suggest taking a white noise machine - the road noise died down, but could hear some noise from nearby rooms and overhead.

    Adorable little retro motel. The view from the balconies is spectacular. The decor is very modern and comfortable. The room was spotless. Walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. The road is busy, and we were worried about being able to sleep, but it definitely quieted down after sunset. Would definitely stay here again!

    Convenient, clean, comfortable and beautiful room with breathtaking views. I especially love the lounge with coffee, sitting area and tv. A cozy property only a few minutes away from several restaurant options.

    I stayed here with my family for one night but would stay again if back in the area. It was a little different not having a front desk employee to check in with and all communication and access codes were done by texts. This was concerning, but I was emailed early on how everything would work. My worries went away quickly because even though there was no one on site, I was still constantly informed by text of what to expect upon arrival and who to call if needed. We had no issues and my family enjoyed our short stay in a unique location, close to town.

    PROS - Great location. Very reasonable price. Love that the room has a ceiling fan. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Clean. Nice TV. Parking was fine. Great water pressure. Nice little lobby. CONS - There was an issue with the water heater all 3 nights we stayed. Sometimes we would have hot water, but most of the time it was cold. I contacted them and they were going to send a plumber out. Hopefully it gets fixed quick for the next guests. Beware, if you are on the first floor and someone is on the second floor above you. It will be a nightmare. Especially if there are kids that like to run. I assume the 2nd floor has hard floors like the first floor. It is extremely loud. And you hear every step when someone is on the porch on the second floor. It’s like people are tap dancing or doing the river dance above you.

    The only complaint I had about staying here was how thin the walls were. We could hear the guest in the room next door to us and don’t even get me started on the guest in the room above us. It sounded as though they were bowling up there.

    Everything we needed and nothing we did not. I enjoyed the entire self serve experience. Never met nor needed to meet anyone to support our stay. Self checkin. Self serve coffee 24/7. Really enjoyed it. Clean and nice decor
