Fantastic rustic cabins, but with all the amenities of a hotel, enjoyable places to go they've got outdoor activities and plenty of places to stroll and watch nature recommend it enough!

All I can saw is WOW! Our family had the privilege of staying at the Cascades Inn in Tiger, GA. The…read moredrive from Florida was beautiful and very scenic. We loved the change in scenery going from flat land, to rolling hills, mountains and beautiful trees. It was very easy to find the location and that's saying a lot as I'm TERRIBLE with directions! Upon exiting your car, you instantly feel peace as you hear the waterfalls cascading down rocks and breathe in fresh air. The parking is right next to the cabins which are easily accessible. Our family stayed Sunday - Saturday and we had plenty to do and still missed out on seeing some attractions. We have a large family of 7 and were easily entertained. Some days were spent at the Inn relaxing, floating in the creek with inner tubes, sunbathing on the rocks, or just sitting by the water sharing fun family stories. Many evenings were spent outside grilling, playing cards and outdoor games like corn hole and Jenga. It is relaxing not being in a very touristy area. There are a lot of fun outdoor activities (white water rafting, hiking, camping, lakes, mountain view's) in the immediate area and a short drive to more popular locations like Helen or the Smokies. The housing was perfect, beds were comfortable, the shower water pressure was AMAZING, and rooms were very cool despite coming in the heat of summer. Most our time was spent outdoors enjoying the beauty of the property. At night, everything is lit up with ambient lighting, even the waterfalls! No mosquitos were to be found which was a pleasant surprise. All in all this is a MUST see if you are looking for a great place to stay that's peaceful, beautiful, close to town yet still in the hills. We can't wait to go back!

We arrived to find no one in the office so I called the number of their door. Even though the owner was traveling out of state he was kind and took the time to walk us through his options then granted us access to his Blueridge cottage. We were in awe of the meticulous care, that had gone into restoring the cottages to their pristine condition. The entire experience was very quaint and very comfortable. Clayton Georgia's downtown area is within walking distance and driving distance of all the major restaurants. After a few hard days of hiking, during the evening, we sat on the cottage's patio with a couple of adult beverages, and enjoyed the view until it was bedtime.

We booked a date ahead of time that turned out to be right after the late January ice storm. The inn called to confirm our visit or to offer a refund with no penalty. "We are comIng" and so they were ready. We were the only guest, however, which was great, because we had the run of the place, but odd because from 9PM until 5;00 AM or thereabouts we were the only people in the inn. But happy hour went on nevertheless, beforehand, and dinner was cathead biscuits, local pecan encrusted pan seared trout, and other local delicacies. We felt so special! Our room was very nice, however, if you happen to be here during or after an ice storm, don't get a room adjacent to the main road. The power company did a great job clearing roads and restoring lines and such, but they get an early start and are big and loud rolling down the main cross street at very early AM times, and we are early risers. Just saying, a very, very lovely stay, but get a back room if an ice storm has just rolled through. Definitely will return!

We checked out early because mattress was so uncomfortable in "Holly". When this was brought up to management the general manager Jenna said "I have slept in that bed before and it was fine" - not the most professional response. Sorry won't return and I cannot recommend.

The hotel is right near the busy fast road, and you have to be careful to watch for fast cars when…read moreyou exit the entrance from the hotel. And it's hard to enter going in from the fast road. Continental breakfast is pretty limited, and their coffee is bad. The light switch for the bathroom is outside the bathroom so when you're done with the bathroom you have to reach for the light switch on the outside wall and the light coming out from the bathroom would disturb the person sleeping and that's bad design. The light switch should be inside the bathroom. I would not want to stay in a hotel with that design (unless I'm single). When we arrived on our first day of our visit the mini refrigerator had water on the bottom inside and it didn't seem to be cold enough so we had to report it to the front office and they came the next day to fix it. I expect everything to be working okay during our first day of stay. The maid service was okay. There was confusion one time, they took our used towels and didn't leave cleaned one and they didn't do any maid work on that day and we had to report it. The bathroom was small, reminds me of the small bathrooms in Japan. The room size was okay but there were not enough chairs (for married couple). The pricing for the room stay is reasonable. The reason we stayed in Clayton was to do whitewater rafting very close by.

Mitchell's Lodge fit the bill perfectly! Located in one of the only actual temperate rainforests in the Continental United States, you can imagine just how green and beautiful this place is. The grounds are well maintained. Parking is right outside your door. The rooms are not fancy by most standards, but very "mountain cabin" like and have plenty of room. Ours had a desk, small sitting table with chairs, a microwave and typical hotel size refrigerator. The staff was very polite and professional. We didn't have any issues during our stay so can't speak to how they deal with problems. They did offer a "continental breakfast" per se, but it was underwhelming. The fresh coffee was very good and always available. Just moments from downtown Highlands and minutes from the Cullasaja River, Bridal Falls, and other photo-worthy spots, at a very reasonable price point make this a great place to stay when you head this way!
