"This place is an inn from the 1920's that lets you literally step back in time. The whole place feels like you're in a time period movie set. It is amazing how well kept the place is, especially compared with the old buildings in the surrounding town of Balsam. Seriously though, if you want the finest amenities of a modern hotel, this is not the place for you. But if you want to experience a place that time forgot to destroy and enjoy a peace and slower pace of life for a while, this is a true gem. From the real door keys to the water radiator heating, the claw foot bath tub, and the creaking hardwood floors, this place just transports you to a time when every guest was special and the world was simpler. The water is even supplied from a mountain spring. For couples, this is the perfect romantic getaway. You can sit on the porch and watch the trees sway in the wind or read a book in the library. The Blue Ridge Parkway is only a mile away. And don't worry, while the amenities are basic compared to modern hotels, the bed was very comfortable and the linens were good quality. Better than a lot of modern places I've stayed. I really can't speak highly enough of the staff or the place itself. We really did enjoy it tremendously."

"Decent clean good breakfast "

"Everything was great nice place to stay and good location. "

"Parking was right next to my room. There is construction going on next to the hotel; however it had no impact on my stay. Very quiet. This was for a conference at Lake Junaluska. Reasonable rate, considering what it would have cost to stay at the lake. Took about 10-15 minutes to get to the lake each day."

"enjoyed the fire pit in gazebo and the creek sounds and sights off the balcony "

"The surroundings are beautiful but the Inn needs more updating. Everything was clean, but the doors were old and not latching easily. The beds were clean and very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and nice. "
