The rooms are well accommodating -- the lighting is excellent (the best yet) and the towels are large and plush. The staff so very friendly and helpful.

Speaking of eating, the restaurant at the hotel offers delicious meals. Don't hesitate to stay at the Everett!!

BLUF: Historic building, friendly staff, interesting rooms and a convenient location…read more My husband and I really enjoyed our one night stay at The Everett Hotel inclusive of a delicious dinner at The Bistro. We would have loved to have stayed longer but we considered ourselves lucky to get a room at all during the peak Fall season. We stayed in Room 9 which is on the third floor loft with an interesting pitched ceiling but no windows. The room was great for afternoon napping and it was just footsteps away from the rooftop deck. For a longer stay we would have probably preferred a room on the second floor with windows. I love American history, architecture and Americana so staying in this old circa 1904 bank was fabulous. We even took a peak at the old bank vault that is now used as a wine cellar and pantry inside the restaurant. The hotel staff here is top notch. Everyone was so welcoming and I appreciate that the hotel called before our stay to see if we wanted to make a reservation in The Bistro. The Bistro is a small, quaint, refined restaurant that books full for its dinner service so it's nice that they make sure hotel guests have an opportunity to book first. Our dinner in the Bistro was fabulous - I had the filet while my husband had the Ettouffee. We also had breakfast at The Bistro the following morning which was also very good. In addition to the five-star staff and cozy room, we loved the location of The Everett Hotel. It was walking distance to everything in town including shops, restaurants and the train station. It was also a short drive to Smoky Mountain National Park. As an added bonus, it is right next door to the Swain County Heritage Museum. We were conveniently able to park behind the hotel. Other conveniences we appreciated were the filtered water and coffee in the hallway. A special shoutout to Daniel who made us feel so welcomed.

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!!!

No one answered despite multiple calls. We left a voicemail, and instead of any apology, we were told next day they "couldn't understand the message" and blamed us for not being clear enough. As they posted multiple, conflicting instructions, how were we supposed to know which rules to follow? When no one even bothered to pick up the phone or return a call for a simple explanation of the rules? And blaming customers for having bad reception in voicemail? We were left completely in the dark, unsure if we'd be able to check in at all. We booked here hoping to support a local business, but were met with poor communication, a lack of basic courtesy, and ZERO accountability. Extremely disappointing, and we would not recommend staying here.

A very quick walk to anything and everything in the central area of Bryson City. Make sure to give little Eva the kitty some love if you happen upon her, a very sweet cat. We'll be back!

My boyfriend and I don't need much and usually like to find off-the-beaten-path places but something about this little house in town spoke to me. I can not express how perfect it was for us! Very nice, character house and very comfortable. Rooms are cozy with antique furniture and a "your grandma's house" kinda feel. Breakfast was AMAZING.... I'm a southern girl and look forward to country breakfast and this beat out any breakfast I've had in a while! Price is VERY VERY reasonable for the hospitality and amenities offered. We are adventurers and adrenaline seekers so I wasn't sure how the B&B speed would work for us (we never want to be the "rowdy ones", coming in muddy or late and disturbing the "romanticals"). This Inn is perfect for EVERYONE. During our stay, there were 2 families with children, a backpacking couple, the musicians that played the Saturday night show at the local brewery, and of course us (rafting/biking/hiking and a little bit drunk each night). You will be comfortable here, no matter what you're speed. The best part of this whole experience is the Innkeeper, Luke, and his wife Layla. What an amazing, interesting guy! And so kind and hospitable. I would go back to this place just to get a chance to hang out with this guy more! STAY HERE. You'll love it.

Terrible Experience - Unprofessional Business Practices…read more I travel a lot and this tops the worst experience I have ever had with lodging. I regret I am unable to give Stonebrook Lodge zero stars due to their extremely unprofessional behavior related to our stay. My husband and I decided to schedule a Valentine weekend getaway that included a stay with Stonebrook in Bryson City, NC. We rented the jacuzzi King suite and upon arrival, I immediately noticed the jacuzzi jets were filthy. (photos attached) In the jets, you could see black mold and mildew. It was disgusting. Since we arrived so late, I notified the attendant on duty (Eloisa) the next morning and while she apologized and stated she would have this taken care of, it was a poor attempt to clean it, and it was still dirty. We did not feel safe using it. On Sunday, February 15, the entire town experienced a power outage around 11:30 am. Understanding this was not the fault of the lodge; however, there were NO provisions during the outage, and they DO NOT have a back up generator. NO ONE alerted the guests or even tried to accommodate. The power was expected to be out for more than 5 hours; therefore, we decided to check out a day early. When I spoke with the attendant on duty, her concern was the guests scheduled to check in and not the guest already there. NO ONE reached out to the guests there out of courtesy in the situation. The acknowledgement you sign states no refund if you check without giving a 24-hour notice. They do not take into consideration for this type of situation. They take no responsibility and expect the guests to assume this cost for their inconvenience. This in itself is ridiculous. There is NO attempt to provide any sort of 'customer service' for such an event. The attendant said this happens 'all the time' so you would think they would have a backup generator. I attempted to contact the manager (Lindsey) twice leaving a message and as of today, she has yet called me. NO ONE in any leadership capacity contacted me about my concerns for the refund of one day. Under NO circumstances could I recommend ANYONE stay at this establishment. They are extremely unprofessional. There is a total of 3 Stonebrook Lodges, and they all are under the same leadership.

Seriously, if you have been searching and researching places to stay you can stop now and book here. We stayed in the Laughing Water Yurt and this being our first Yurt experience we were blown away! Some may call this glamping and that's fine call it what you want but I will call it the best place I have stayed at to date and it was 10x better than a hotel or an AirBnB. Jeanetta was so welcoming and hospitable and checked in on us via email and was also very easy to get a hold of with any issues. The Yurt itself was amazing! Pictures and words will not give this place justice it looks so much better in person. Not to mention you're only 20-30 mins away from the Great Smoky National Park. We are already in the process of booking again in the future. 10/10 recommend!
