This is my preferred hotel when we come to visit the Caryville/LaFollette area. Our family is…read moreoriginally from Caryville, and I've stayed at this hotel many, many times, over the past several years when we have come down to visit family. The entrance and the hallways are filled with local historical photos, news clippings & ephemera, antiques, old farming equipment, classic cars, and tons of other things to look at. The llamas outside are a certainly a unique feature, and are quite endearing to watch. The rooms are very comfortable, many with lovely balconies and views of the lake. Those that look out to the back of the property offer an occasional glimpse of the llamas grazing on the land surrounding the hotel. Linens and towels are always top notch and freshly laundered. Occasionally I have had small issues with noise from neighbouring rooms, but usually when families with children are staying in them. Normally I sleep well and am not disturbed by other customers. The breakfast has been really well done the times when I have been there. A great selection of standard hot and cold items. Copious amounts of tea and coffee. I can't recommend it highly enough if you're coming to the area and want a great hotel without the crazy price tag that some local resorts might charge.

Courtney and Travis made sure we did not miss out on our fresh cookies. Only complaint was the old dank scent which is simply the age of the Inn. But when every parking space is full and the tables are full of families eating their breakfast and smiling you must be doing things right.

I recently was on a long road trip with my dog and we stayed at Red Roof Inn in Caryville TN. 'RV'…read morewas working the front desk and he was so polite and helpful. I was so grateful that he allowed my dog to stay with me as it was late and I had already wasted over an hour in several towns trying to find a place. My room was nice and very clean. My dog always sniffs out new places and he didn't linger long in any one spot, meaning there was nothing unusual/interesting (e.g. cat, dog) to smell. So that was a great sign! I checked out the following morning with RV's wife and she was just as freiendly. I highly recommend this place. Thanks for a great stay!

We had two comfy queen beds with lots of pillows, heater, microwave, tv, lots of beautiful mirrors and more. It was also very quiet which is a plus. They do serve breakfast but we didn't wake up in time to take advantage of that. The desk service was friendly and accommodated us at 2am. Check out was easy and they offered us a free water bottle for the trip. Would stay again - especially for the affordable price.

Returning to Michigan and stopped here for the night. We travel with our golden retriever…read more Called to make a reservation and asked do you allow pets, absolutely. I confirmed the rate multiple times. Upon arrival at the hotel we were informed that pets were an additional fee of $75. We explained no mention of this when we booked. Desk clerk gave little to no explanation as to why nobody told us of the additional cost. We travel with our dog a lot. Not once have I had an issue with not being told about additional fees for pets. Disappointed as Holiday Inn is really good. Not this time.

Also no one in hotel wore a mask I get this is a non mask area but other chains have made it mandatory. Whether a mask works or not is debatable but still it's a caution. The ac worked poorly and was so loud I couldn't leave it on which is not ideal when it's hot and muggy. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Hampton inn or holiday inn down the road.

We booked a stay at the end of March and unbelievably we were told we were the first hotel guests…read moreof the year. They also mentioned we were the only guests that night and as a horror movie fan- it made me a little uneasy. The hotel staff called us a couple of times to verify our arrival time to make sure they had our room ready and security would be there to let us in (we felt oh so important). We started up the mountain and after a little way up we stopped to check in with security, a super nice guy who just had us fill out our paperwork and let us know our room would be open for us. We continued up the mountain but stopped frequently to take in the amazing views the altitude allowed. There are lots of spots to stop and sit or stand in awe of the beauty surrounding you. The Sasquatch cut out hidden in the woods was a bonus too! The room was just as amazing as the view. It felt like a little home and the bed was delightfully cozy. Our fridge had some beverages in it to enjoy during our stay as well which I really appreciated! The soaking tub was magnificent and the balcony is magical. We spent the majority of our time sitting on the balcony with some wine and enjoying the most amazing view of the valley below, it was our favorite part of the trip. The only downside was that the restaurant wasn't open during the year we went and there wasn't anything real close by to grab a quick bite. Ultimately we decided we enjoyed the room so much we didn't want to leave to find something to eat and just enjoyed the snacks we brought with us. All in all this place is amazing. I couldn't believe we were the first visitors because the view from this mountain is incredible. I hope they get their restaurant back up and running because I would love to return.

We rented a house on 158 Deer Pond Circle for a family reunion and a birthday, close to Lake Norris…read morebut not on it. The house was large enough to accommodate 6 adults and 3 children. Plenty of TVs, a screened porch on the second floor was very nice to hang out during the morning. There was a grill outside, a pool table and games on the bottom level, even corn hole. We also ended up renting a boat at Lake Norris for Friday and Saturday and went out tubing, swimming and lounging around in the water, which was great fun. The resort also had a golf club but we could not find any tee times. At the entrance to the resort is a small Winery, which we did not have time to visit but looked nice. A posted sign said they have live music on Saturdays. It was a relaxing getaway. Please note: getting to this resort can be a little hairy, and will take a little patience as it is probably the last leg of your trip: a very windy and hilly 12 mile stretch of road took about 25 minutes during the daylight upon embarking from the town of La Follette.

So I take the blame for having to call the marina to verify where to pickup the boat. Pam was great getting us checked in and on our way. The boat performed well and we had a great day on Norris lake. My only complaint/suggestion, and why they lost one star, is the life jackets on the boat smelled like body odor. There were at least 8 life jackets stuffed into the back storage compartment. They were damp and just nasty. Luckily we brought our own so we didn't have to use them. Seems simple to pull all the jackets out, sanitize them(scuba places have this down for wetsuits), then hang them out to dry for the next customers. Besides that I would recommend twin cove for a boat rental if you have the need.
