Top Lake James State Park Hotel Reviews

The Highlands at Sugar

10/10 Excellent

"Very welcoming and quick to get us sorted and checked in"

The Inn at Shady Lawn

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay here. Even though we were coming in quite late, they worked with us on this. You must let them know though, as the office closes at 8. The rooms are nice and spacious. The only problem I had was the beds are not very comfortable. But it is very conveniently located. We do plan on coming back."

Chetola Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The only problems we had was that our room phone was not plugged in, the alarm clock was preset to a very early alarm and the TV was not easy to figure out. Thankfully Reed at the front desk in the evenings was extremely kind and helpful with the TV. The restaurant was closed which would have been helpful the night it stormed as we couldn't go to a restaurant with our dog. Other than that, the resort was beautiful and I highly recommend staying there !"
