Clean room with modern appliances. Outside lighting could be better, we got in at 9:30 pm and it was VERY dark in the parking lot. Other than that a very good place to stay.

Room clean and quiet. Parking easy and close by. Room was modernized. Clean. This is a hotel where you check in with your cellphone. There is no check in staff. The cleaning people are friendly and helpful. These are the only people of the hotel you will see during your stay.

Such lovely attention to detail in the rooms. Wild Rest was a true gem of a stop during a long weekend spent hiking and exploring the area. The rocking chairs on the patio were great for evenings spent outside.

We were traveling into town for business and I happened upon this hotel when searching for accommodations. Wildrest was such a sweet, cozy, and comfortable cabin for our stay, with modern amenities! The staff was also very attentive and responsive to our calls and requests. This is the perfect option for those who want a little mountain getaway.

I was enchanted by this property. Having a pool, bar, restaurant was much less important than sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch with a blanket. The property was beautiful. I really enjoyed talking to the manager. He was very helpful and gave me information on the history of the property. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed. I will be staying here again when in Waynesville. An absolutely beautiful property.

What a treasure! Great location! I know this is a work in progress, but the property is on it's way! We were so glad they kept a lot of the original features like wood paneling, windows, and stone! The additions are fun and bring it up to date. We slept so well!!! Quiet and peaceful. We look forward to staying again.

A very secluded, private park-like setting in a quiet residential neighborhood. The old lodge and rooms have been thoughtfully and beautifully restored. I'd stay here every time vs a hotel. The value was superior.

The location was quiet, the room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. I would have liked the light in the bathroom to be brighter. Also, you have to pay extra for coffee pods. It seems like the room should have automatically included 4 pods (2 regular, 2 decaf). But overall it was a delightful and beautiful place.
