Lovely but dated
Disappointed that breakfast was not offered. Local restaurants served lunch and dinner only. Property is easy to locate and a lovely couple run the Inn, but it is in need of updates. We had beautiful weather and the leaves were just starting to change.

We used to be a Bed & Breakfast and Expedia still had that information in their files. It was an honest mistake. We're so sorry to disappoint but we have a wonderful restaurant not far from the Inn that serves a great selection for breakfast and a delicious buffet on Sunday. There are many restaurants that serve lunch. The Inn was built in 1989 and the Garden House was built in 1993. Most of our guests love the nostalgia. We maintained a Triple A four diamond accommodation for 30 years which is longer than any other accommodation in Western Carolina. We are very proud of the awards. We strive to make every guest have a memorable visit with us by inviting them to a social hour with complimentary wine and cheese. We love visiting with our guests. We also have complimentary kayaks for exploring the Beautiful Lake Glenville, the highest lake east of the Rockies. Hiking trails are wonderful. Whiteside Mountain is considered to be the oldest mountain in the world with spectacular views any time of the year. We also have more waterfalls here than anywhere in the area. We hope this information is helpful and that you will visit us soon!

A hidden getaway
A mix of elegant and eclectic, the Inn does not disappoint. Morning breakfast is delicious and the giant tub and beautiful views all make this a beautiful place to stay either for a special occasion or just because you want to see the birds and the trees.

Lovely get-away
It was lovely. Just a little disappointed we weren't staying in the only building they show in their ads. The staff was wonderful. The area gorgeous. Just what we needed!

Beautiful surprise in the North Carolina mountains
Very beautiful place in the mountains with a bit of a view of the lake. The breakfasts were wonderful. The hotel staff was excellent. We took advantage of the champagne cruise, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great place for a bed and breakfast. We look forward to going again -- maybe late spring or early summer when the rhododendrons are blooming and the waterfalls are running with more water.

A great place for a quiet getaway
I stayed in the Lord Tennyson room and truly enjoyed my stay. I went for a quiet getaway weekend and that is what I got. The room was spacious, beautiful and comfortable. There was a coffee maker and small refrig. The large shower and tub have a beautiful view. Breakfast was delicious! My favorite area was the private balcony with a small table and comfortable chairs. Totally private. The only time I heard anyone was when the couple below me was on their balcony when I was on mine. The Lord Tennyson room is not in the main house but is the top floor of the Garden House. The view was of beautiful trees but I could not see the lake in late summer; you might be able to see the lake during other seasons, but not summer time because of the trees. I have AT&T cell service and could only get one bar of service and then only once in while. My weekend was a solo trip and I felt completely safe (I'm female). I will go back the next time I need a weekend away.

1 nite stay in the mountains
Very nice place, friendly owners. You check in at the big Victorian house but don't stay there or use it. They have several cottages down the hill where you stay. We were in the Robert Browning suite - plenty of room, full kitchen, comfortable bed. Afternoon wine & cheese plate and good breakfast delivered to your suite. Patio overlooks trees that obscure the lake. Quiet and secluded.
