Sometimes pictures make places look larger or different than seeing in person, but this place did not disappoint. It was even better than the pictures! First, check in was quick bc they send you a code to the door. Sara was very responsive the entire stay. We really didn't need anything though because everything was in order and worked well.
The best part is the floor to ceiling windows. Looking outside was amazing, especially with the Fall colors. The hot tub was fun for the family. We were very comfortable as a family of 4. They had plenty of paper products, and even had soap, conditioner, and body wash in each shower. Everything was so clean. There were several games and puzzles which were fun for kids to play.
The location was far enough from the city where you felt almost alone on the mountain, yet town was a 15-20 min drive and easy to access. It was nice having the general store and one restaurant just a mile away. This area was no where near as crowded as Gatlinburg or some more tourist areas. Downtown Blue Ridge was definitely busy though since there was a festival. This location has a few trail heads within a 5 min drive. Also gem mining/mini golf within that distance as well.
Our favorite activities with kids were the Swan Drive In Theater in Blue Ridge, Amicalola Falls, Lily Pad Gem Mining, and Fall Branch Falls hike. Driving up past Fall Branch Falls is a beautiful drive down a less traveled gravel road.
