    The Best Hidden Gem in Bryson City!

    We LOVED our visit to The Lodge! The pictures do not give it justice. It is very close to the tubing, railroad, rafting, and ziplining, but it's tucked up into the woods and mountains with a wonderful creek. Everything you need to have a wonderful, relaxing time is certainly provided for you. The manager is lovely, and the owners were quick to respond with any questions that we had. There are grills, picnic tables, rocking chairs, a fire pit, even board games you can take back to your room or play on your rocking chairs that are right there in front of your room. A smaller lodge, which we loved as well. A hidden gem that I can't wait to go back to over and over again! Thank you NL for a wonderful visit.

    its a great location and is quite and private atmosphere. its a bit of a walk up hill is the only downside. they have a great picnic area and it is right by the river. and it is down the road from Bryson city. i came here for the great Smokey rail road.

    Parking in relation to the rooms is a steep short hike

    A hotel that feels like staying in a cabin without the two night minimum

    The location was absolutely beautiful and the price per night was extremely reasonable. The common areas and walkways were very quiet and relaxing. The staff were very kind and helpful. Planning more trips in the future and will most definitely be booking here again.

    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.

    Loved everything about The Lodge. Furnished beautifully, loved the little animal statues etc and all the cosy blankets. Views down the valley and with a stream were lovely. Loved the fire pit/bbq area and the deck outside the rooms with a chess board. Staff were so welconing and helpful. We wished we could have stayed longer. If it wasn't so far away, we would definitely come back more frequently!

    This lodge was absolutely what my family needed! Such a great get away. It’s a very family friendly place! We cooked hot dogs and s’mores out at the fire pit and they even provided the s’mores. We traveled with an infant and they accommodated us really well with the baby! Would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone!!!

    I accidentally put the check in as poor. It was NOT!!!!!! We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience!

    The owner was incredibly nice and helpful. He lit a fire outside because I said I wanted smores and kept it stoked all afternoon until we got there. The rooms were super clean. It was a wonderful experience!
