I've actually never slept so well in a hotel room. What is it the river? the bed? not having the room AC/heat going... More

My stay was completely unplanned, I just happened to be traveling through on my way to see family in Lumberton, NC when I decided to stop here after seeing the sign because I was sick of driving and wanted to relax and shower. Upon walking in to the hotel it was beautiful, very clean, and surprisingly updated. As I approached... More

Extremely clean facility, large rooms and great front desk staff. Make sure to ask for riverside room! The river will be right below your balcony. This is my third stay at this hotel and it is especially nice in the summer because you can leave the door open and hear the water rushing.. Elevation of Dillsboro allows for you to... More

The hotel is located on the edge of the river and my wife and I selected a river view suite. When we arrived we found a very warm welcome at the front desk. Our room was clean and spacious. We...

Headed to NC to do a little fishing and stayed at this little jewel on the Tuck. This hotel is one of the few that sit right on the banks of the river, offer breakfast on the outside patio overlooking the river, and rocking chairs to relax in before or after fishing. First floor rooms walk out to the river.... More
