We stayed at Rocky Creek Cottage and despite what their website says it is NOT motorcycle friendly…read more From trying to enter the gate code on an incline while balancing the bike to the EXTREMELY steep inclined driveway, this place was NOT motorcycle friendly. The living room only had a couch and a chair which could not seat all 6 in our party. The chairs at the dining room table were worn out and uncomfortable. The master bed was not comfortable and creeked & groaned with each little movement. The hot tub was half full. Overall, not a good experience. And again, IT WAS NOT MOTORCYCLE FRIENDLY!!!

Well deserved, but I hope we still have our sweet hide-away and it doesn't get too hard to reserve or expensive by demand.

We just spent four days at the Blue Boar Retreat over Thanksgiving. We didn't really know what to…read moreexpect based on the pictures seen on VRBO, other than there is a pond and an industrial kitchen, but we were pleasantly surprised by our stay. The Blue Boar Retreat has a large industrial kitchen (perfect for large-scale cooking that Thanksgiving requires, a large dining area, another large common space, and eight spacious individual rooms. Each individual room had its own bathroom and sitting area, and some rooms had 2 queen beds and others 1 king bed. Before we arrived, we thought there were separate mini-cabins on the property, but each of the eight rooms are connected by a long, wide hallway. Despite the proximity, we didn't hear any noise coming through the walls from the next room. There is also a huge patio area and fire pit for use out the back. There are other cottages nearby, but we never really crossed paths with anyone. Lake Santeetlah is a half-mile walk down Blue Boar Road and there are kayaks available for use. Dogs are allowed at the lodge, and they loved having the freedom to run around all over the property. Overall, a perfect place for family gathering. We had 18 of us (14 adults, 4 kids) and there was plenty of space for us. Blue Boar Retreat is on the top of our list for our next Thanksgiving gathering in 2021.

Fabulous wedding in October! In late 2024, we went out on a limb, sight unseen and booked the…read moreCherokee Mountain Cabins for our daughters wedding. The Bride and Groom were looking for a small, outdoor experience that was more than just "show up for 4 hours". In totality, we booked 11 cabins for a weekend of fun and laughter. Not a single complaint from any of the wedding guests. We were able to use the Nite Owl to host both a dinner the night prior, and a brunch the day after. We used the Pavilion for the wedding itself. The weather was fantastic, and the beauty of the property along the stream was serene! The staff leading up to the wedding and the weekend of were responsive and flexible. While we decided to limit the rentals on amenities, and as expected we forgot a couple of small items which the staff in the moment quickly supplied. Additionally, the business we hired for hair and makeup, late the night before the wedding cancelled on us....the concierge scrambled for us the morning of to find a replacement. I would highly recommend this location not just for a vacation getaway, but any small to medium event you and looking to plan!

They started off my stay right! The cabin was so clean, comfortable, and just beautiful. They really take exceptional care of the place. I was very impressed with how clean and neat it was! Top notch for sure. There are so many amenities in the cabins. The fireplaces inside and out, the hot tub, the whirlpool bath tub, pool table, everything! The bed was comfortable and cozy. The kitchen was awesome too!! Highly recommended cabins!!!

Our stay at the Chalet Inn was amazing, we had an incredible time in an incredible setting…read more Inspired by German pension, the Chalet Inn captures the tradition setting and setup perfectly. In fact, if you were just magically dropped here, you'd never know that you were in North Carolina instead of Germany. Both the chalet itself, and the surrounding grounds and well maintained. The surrounding grounds are themselves quite noteworthy. There are tons of things on offer, from short hiking trails (complete with strategically placed romantic benches), badminton, croquet, and a wood firepit with a propane starter (no need to build a fire yourself). George was a perfect host, welcoming us and providing tips and directions in the area. He was a great source of information, whether you plan to visit the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or explore other parts of the surrounding area. He was also always eager to make sure that his hospitality was unobtrusive, and made sure that we felt at home and that we had our privacy. His thoughtfulness extended to the little things, like starting a fire in the fireplace in the common areas in the morning and evening to take off any fall chill. And add to the overall atmosphere. Our room was also great, with a larger balcony where we were able to sit and enjoy some wine from the Stube (an honor- system store located on the premise) while we sat at enjoyed the stars. Our experience staying here was great and I'd recommend it to anybody!

So I'll start by saying I stayed here four years ago and had an amazing experience. If I had left…read moreit at that, I would probably giving this place 5 stars. Seems like things have gone wayyyyyyyyy downhill since then. I emailed the first week of July asking for an October reservation of the same room I stayed in originally because I enjoyed it so much. I waited two weeks and did not receive a reply (it says on the submission form you are supposed to get a response within 24 hours), so I called back to ask about the reservation I requested. The person who answered found my form submission and told me they are currently having "staffing issues", so they were not sure if they were going to be able to accommodate my stay. However, he collected some additional information from me, including the fact that I have an infant daughter, and told me to call back in a week when they should know if they will have the staff to support in October. Another week goes by and I call back, only to receive a similar response - "we'll know in another week, but assuming we have staff in October, you are penciled in for [the room] you requested". I call back again the next and still, receive essentially the same information. However, this time the guy tells me that they should definitely know in another week and they will call me back to know. He verifies the information I had submitted, including the fact that I have an infant daughter. It is now 1.5 months since I requested my original reservation, and I had still had not received a call back. I call back (again) and am FINALLY told that I can go ahead and square away my reservation. The guy starts asking for details including how many people will be with me, as if this shouldn't already be in their previous notes. As soon as I mention I have an infant daughter, the guy tells me that they only allow kids 12+ and he's "afraid that that isn't going to work". What. a. load. of. crap. Thank goodness I am not looking to reserve a place for Columbus Day weekend in October because I would probably be out of luck. This place has become less a Bed & Breakfast and more of a Bed & B.S!
