Overall a good experience. We had a room with a beautiful mountain view. Room was clean and comfortable. Furniture in the lobby and sitting areas were a little dated. Some of the staff were friendly while others were a little ornery but it was crowded causing them to be a little stressed. Finding the lodge and where to park was a little bit of a challenge. I would recommend staying here.

Beautiful property. Elevator was down, bedding was stained and pit look glass was full of handprints when we arrived obstructing the gorgeous view but they had a gift shop and nice food options. No complaints for the location

The views from lodge were remarkable. The food… not so much. We stayed in room 101, don’t. Musty, no view and loud. However, property was amazing. Trails and access to AT. Beautiful

Nice stay on the AT!

The room was nice, the lobby and restaurant and bar area was also very casually welcoming. The only issue was the air condition in the room was very noisy all night long.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was very friendly. The property was not in bad shape but could tell its age. Breakfast was not Free as it was listed on the website . Breakfast was good but had to pay extra. The restaurant onsite is convenient not too bad priced. The views from every window were breath taking. The sunset from our room was beautiful. Was not able to see the sun rise as it was super foggy when we woke up. We wanted to go zip lining but was not able to due to them having a large group booked. We would go back!
At the mid point for the Falls! 425 steps later
Morning fog
Breakfast was $12
Breakfast pancakes also $12
