It was absolutely beautiful! A garden between buildings with a pond stocked with koi and water lillies and a rotunda with a fire pit. A place to play corn hole. The whole inn sits above the town with a great view of the smoky mountains. Breakfast is provided, which was excellent. The bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. I can’t say enough, just exceptional!

    We went to Bryson City to ride on the Old North Carolina...

    We went to Bryson City to ride on the Old North Carolina Railroad on a trip through Nantahala Gorge. This trip takes 4 hours and is really nice. It includes a stop at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. There is food, drink and alcohol available on the train, and also at Nantahala. The restaurants in town were very good, especially Pasqualinos Italian Restaurant, which was excellent. There were cute stores, the town did not look tired, nor did it have lots of vacant store fronts. It has free parking, which is a nice change from some towns, and is highly walkable. There is a river running through it, which is quite pretty. It borders Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and has access to several trails, including the Tunnel to Nowhere. The lodging choices were limited, but we didn't have trouble getting a room for the first weekend in May.

    Bryson City is a beautiful little town with lots of cute...

    Bryson City is a beautiful little town with lots of cute shops and interesting history. The town only has one sit down diner for breakfast and it stays very busy, The evening options are quite diverse and offer a variety of menus and prices, The streets are nice for walking along, and some benches are available to sit, the town features fiberglass 'trout' in different designs and colors, so look for these as interesting photo oppportunities. The Swain County Museum is really interesting as well. The are multiple hiking/walking trails in the area and don't forget to visit the 'Road to Nowhere'. The highlight of the town is the Great Smoky Mountains Railway and Miniature Train Museum.

    Bryson City is a Gem!! Things to do...

    Bryson City is a Gem!! Things to do... Definitely a must is the Train!!! Splurge for the first class tickets with lunch and request the Harper Car with Steve!!! (Adults only) It'll be worth the little bit of extra money, I promise!! Next, Make reservations with GTR Adventures (right across from the railroad museum, on Depot St.) Ask for Robbie and he will give you an Itinerary of places off the beaten path to go see via ATV!!! Bucket List Trip, for sure!! Falls, Road to Nowhere, Tubing, and you are so close to other Adventures in Cherokee, Fontana Dam, Maggie Valley... One place for FOOD in Bryson City that I can recommend without hesitation is Pasqualino's Italian Restaurant!!! Hands Down, the best Italian ever and the best wait staff, starting with Jackson!!!! Amazing service!!! Sooo many Gluten Free Options, including freshly made bread from the local bakery from down the street! It was the only place we ate inside Bryson City, and we ate there twice! There are lots of places to shop, snack and eat. We went during the off season. What we loves the most about Bryson City was the people. Everywhere we went, we were welcomed. Thank you Bryson City for the memories!

    I love Bryson City!!

    I love Bryson City!! It's not too far from where I live and it's just a nice getaway for the weekend. Lots to do here and great places to eat and drink. It should meet all of your needs. Plus the surrounding towns offer exciting activities also so you're in the center of it all. Definitely hit the Everett Diner for breakfast! Jimmy Macs and the Iron Wok for dinner. If you like a nice cold beer then definitely visit the local brewery, Mountain Layers Brewing Company.

    We came for the train ride for our anniversary.

    We came for the train ride for our anniversary. The town is very pretty at Christmas. But there is no where to eat. It's mostly fast food. 2 or 3 mom & pop places. We ate at 3 of those and they were very good but way too high for the food. Got burgers both places & it cost us as much for those as it does a steak dinner. And outside of downtown, everywhere we went everything looked run down and trashy. It's almost like there are no limit to how much trash and vehicles a person can put in their yard. Jimmy Macs was good, but pricey. Bryson City Bakery was really good but $28 for a breakfast sandwich, a coffee, a cinnamon roll & a breakfast casserole muffin.

    McKinley Edwards Inn is a wonderful place to stay. Our room was spacious, extremely comfortable and beautifully appointed. The breakfast buffet has a good range of choice and the hot option varies each day. The owner is very pleasant and welcoming and we had a great stay. Bryson City is a convenient location for exploring the Smokies, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, as well as the activities offered in Nantahala, Fontana, and Deep Creek. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

    Location was amazing, view from dining area over the river was great, place was clean, had WiFi and Roku, kitchen appliances good, washer and dryer were handy, bed comfortable, bathroom clean, good hot shower, gas grill was nice. Fun to watch the fly fishermen wading and floating on the river, nice to see the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad train on the other side of the river. Easy drive into Bryson City or Cherokee.

    We recently stayed at this lodge and were thoroughly impressed by the superb value it offers. The lodge is impeccably clean, is in a great location with easy access to trails (and Bryson City), and provides a fantastic night's sleep. One of the highlights of our stay was the amazing fire pits where we could gather and meet other guests. Would highly recommend.

    Clean comfortable room, onsite parking, central location to Bryson City. Walking distance to the train station, restaurants, shops, breweries, etc. Short drive to various hiking trails and national parks and other historical areas and towns. Great value compared to the price of other places in the same town.

    2 blocks from all restaurants, nightlife, and the train depot. Room was clean. Owner was attentive and kind. I was looking for a retro-feel hotel reminiscent of childhood stays in Cherokee, and this place was great. The pool was clean and nice. It was exactly what I was looking for.
