Wow, what a great place! Right at two hours from Birmingham, AL, so a pretty easy run.

We went to use Amex Hilton free night benefits and they were kind enough to up-grade us to the side of the facility with the better views and a balcony. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The pool an hot tub looked really inviting, but it was just a little too cold for me to take the dip (I regret that decision now btw). Be sure to call ahead to ask about the amenities. For example, the hotel has its own six-hole course that I think you can play for free. Had I known, I'd of brought my clubs an booked a t-time. My wife went to the spa and said it was great.

The staff is top notch and the rooms are well appointed. We had a room on the Terrace level where we could walk right out to the heated pool and hot tub (which we skipped, but it looked amazing)! It's very dog-friendly with walking and hiking trails, stunning golf course, fire pits, games, and other amenities, for just about any visitor. The only thing that missed the mark was the food service and quality. We went to Croft, but I expect the food quality is similar at both onsite restaurants.). Otherwise, it's a magical spot to spend any long weekend or holiday.

We thought we were going to a quaint little B&B type hotel in Chattanooga…read more What we got was an old rundown hotel, with minimal services, bare rooms and extremely noisy. We didn't get the room we paid for and when I said something, she said, that room was blocked off and I mentioned Marriott, her response was "We are not a Marriott, we just let you earn points". She did call around 10:00pm, while we were in bed, and said she could move us to a bigger room. We were already sleeping . The room we got was extremely dark, with old furniture and paint chipping. The bartender in the bar, said he cold make anything, then didn't have what I wanted. Gave me a substitute liquor, which was not even close and made me sick. The continental breakfast was scones, packets of oatmeal, some fruit and some dry cereal. Bad Coffee and 10 tea bags, none of which I would ever drink. They consider this an artsy boutique type of hotel, I felt like we were on "Skid Row". Marriott should cut ties!!!

The breakfast in the morning is generous compared to other hotels I've been to recently. Omelette, egg white omelette, biscuits and gravy, bacon, oatmeal, pancakes and hot danishes and way much more. If you're a family you would be saving a killing on breakfast ! Ton of food. Fair price for a very pleasant stay. Exceeded my expectations!

Very upset about my stay. We checked in Friday night from a…read morelong day of driving and settled into our hotel. From the looks of it, our beds seemed clean and the room seemed clean. We had alarms set for 6am to continue driving on and when I woke up, I noticed a Bed bug crawling on the pillow (it was a baby bed bug). Upon inspection, I noticed an adult sized bed bug crawling on the other side of the bed. We were utterly disgusted and have never had this experience elsewhere. We took photos so we had proof to show the desk attendant named Cynthia as well as put both bugs on a napkin and brought them to the front desk. She saw them and squashed them because she said she did not want them to get away. The big bed bug was filled with blood. We felt super gross and asked for garbage bags to put anything we had brought into the room into the bags so we did not bring any home with us. My sister had welts on her legs from being bit in the middle of the night. We asked for the manager to call us back that day. We received a call from the desk attendant saying the manager approved $40 off our stay equating to 25% off. Obviously, with our room being priced at over $150, $40 did not seem fair for all the trouble we had to do to now sort through our stuff when we got home. We later received an email from the manager saying they had "an in house inspector" check out our room and found nothing. Just because you don't visibly see them during the day, does not mean there are no bed bugs. We received another call from another desk attendant and that is when we spoke up asking for at least half our money back from our stay. We did not enjoy the free breakfast they offered, did not get to enjoy the pool, and instead rushed out of the hotel because we did not want to be there any longer. We asked to speak personally with the manager over the phone and it has been about 7 days and no word from anyone. We even sent pictures over email of the ones we took that morning, which are attached to this review. Utterly disgusting and very dissatisfied. Very disappointed in their manager and the managers refusal to call us personally.

One elevator has a violent jolting. TV, is overly complicated to get to work. The hot tub wasn't working and surrounded with caution tape. Curtain rod was detached and sitting in the corner. However the most frustrating was the ice machines. 4th floor out of order, 3rd floor not working either. The 2nd floor machine was worked but it was being held together with twine?\ On the positive the staff seemed friendly and helpful. Another plus was the breakfast had a bit more variety than most Hamptons.

I had to beg for an extra cup of coffee and still did not get it.I would give it a 1.5 out of a 5.0. Not what I expected as a Hilton Honors member. I expected a hotel that was up to date with all the amenities. Next time I'll go further down the road for a better hotel! YUK!

The smell of fresh laundry is exactly what you want when you turn down the sheets at a new place-- so clean and cozy. I wasn't sure about our private bathroom being across the hall, but it was honestly great. Bathroom was very large & somehow also cozy [I think it was the warm heat coming out of the floorboard vents each time I stepped out of the shower lol]. Breakfast each morning was a 10/10! Bill is a boss in the kitchen. The homemade granola and lavender peach 2nd course were our two favorite things! If you plan to take it easy at the b&b one evening, go grab takeout brisket from Trinity in Dalton or truffle shiitake pizza from Ellijay Wood Fired Pizza and bring it back up the mountain. One of the best nights we had was eating pizza and playing giant Uno in the common room. [the giant Uno is in the basket to the left of the common room's fireplace!] Be sure to take a left when leaving the b&b so that you can see the INSANE views!! The road down the mountain to the left is SO beautiful! Things to Consider: -A more size inclusive option for the robe. My husband looked so cozy in his robe and I was disappointed that the size large was a bit too small for me. Having a few plus size robes on hand might be something to consider. Having a spot in the room's notebook that mentions larger robes are available upon request would help curvier guests feel that much more welcome & included :) -A way to text or send a message to Bill or Nicole when we have a quick question :) Thanks so much for having us Bill & Nicole! We have already convinced some friends to come and visit you guys!!

And your little stray outdoor cat was just icing on the cake for us, as I had told Nicole, that I had been searching for lodging that included animals, and upon not finding any, choose the Overlook. So, it was certainly a bonus that this little cat showed up just a couple of weeks prior to our arrival. We enjoyed looking for Tux outside and spoiling him a bit each day. Tux has found a great home and will be living his best life! Many blessings to you both on this endeavor, as we know having an inn has it's rewards, but also, requires lots of work & much of your time; not to mention the variety of guests that you encounter.

The breakfast was very good. lots of different choices you can make a waffle. You can have a bagel. They have avocados out there too The dark roast coffee was amazing. If I come up to this area again, I definitely will stay at this facility The only thing I would suggest is putting more towels in the bathrooms.
