"I have stayed at the Terrace many times for many years. It's always an enjoyable stay. One thing that is consistent over the years is the Internet is terrible. With an access point in our room the Internet was less than 10mb. In 2026 that's terrible. Other than than that the Terrace is a nice place to stay. The view of the lake is wonderful. That is why we return."

Balsam Mountain Inn

Balsam Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The inn is absolutely beautiful. Loved the huge front porch with the resident yellow cat, the game/puzzle room, and all the antiques in the hallways. The breakfast that was included was delicious and the dining area is beautiful as well. I was surprised how cool the inn stayed without any air conditioning. The ceiling fan and open windows kept us comfortable all night, even on the 2nd floor in August! The only downside was the mattress in our room - it was extremely firm with not much padding. My daughter is a junior at WCU and I've stayed at several hotels in the area, but this was by far my favorite. I'll definitely be back!"

"Absolutely loved the little cottages, feels like a home away from home… check-in took less than 5 minutes & checkout was a breeze! Full kitchen fully stocked! Thats what i loved the most 100% and a dishwasher, i dont even have a dishwasher at home so I truely was on vacation not having to hand wash dishes nightly…. This is 100% 5/5 stars only thing i would mention is the only tv in the cottage is in the living room; luckily i always bring a tv for my sons xbox so we gave him the living room for xbox (hdmi/gaming friendly) and we took his little tv and put in master bedroom.. other than only 1 tv we absolutely love this place! We will be back! "
