My husband and I chose Brasstown for an anniversary trip in December. There was a Mary Kay convention and a wedding at the resort, so the place was hopping with people. Our first room was fine, but the walls were paper thin and we could clearly hear the conversations on either side of us. My husband spoke to the front desk clerk, and we were given an upgraded room for an additional charge. The food was disappointing for a resort, in terms of quality and temperature. The staff was friendly, especially a female server in the pub. At night, we could hear the hooting and hollering from the wedding guests and the dance music, but not much you can do about that. The spa was interesting. While the couples massages were great, the spa staff lacked some professionalism. Three receptionists at the front desk talked in loud voices about TV shows, and the attendant who helped me in the female locker room was smacking gum. The Quiet Room was jam-packed with guests, and they brought in rolling office chairs for some guests to sit. The spa manager came in and greeted one couple and spoke to them for quite some time, but didn't acknowledge the other guests - nor did the server wait on anyone except those 2 guests. It just was loud and uncomfortable until we were called back. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed the scenery, the self-guided hike, the massages, and our time together.

Brasstown Valley Resort heals the soul and delights the tummy. The lobby is a majestic yet rustic lodge with a hearth big enough for eight foot long logs wrapped by a balcony overlooking mountain and valley vistas.

The amazing lunch buffet comes complete with pasta chefs making specialties to order, soups and salads with the best ingredients and flavored, desserts to make your afternoon. All for under $9.00.

With stables on premises for first class rides, a wonderful pool, festivals in nearby Blairsville and motorcycle routes that are riders' dreams come true, the review hasn't begun to capture the assets this resort provides. Come see for yourselves.

Exceptional service, wonderful food, incredible accommodation. I can not say enough about fantastic time we had here. The staff went out of there way to see that we had a stress free stay. We were only there two nights but it felt like a weeks vacation. We will be back very soon.

We stayed at Brasstown this past weekend for barbeque classes and a banquet. For the most part the trip was wonderful and the entire time we were there, we talked about booking another trip. We loved the whole area and the resort is just beautiful. We didn't have the time to take advantage of the ammenities but were very excited to return in Spummer to do some fishing, hiking, and horseback riding. We were also planning to return again for the barbeque competitions in May. We were going to book when we checked out. Unfortunately, when we received the bill there were additional charges that we felt were hidden and deceiving. We knew going into it that there was a $10 resort fee that we would be charged. What we did not expect was a $20 "banquet service charge" on top of the $35 we each already paid to attend the banquet. I am sure that the KCBS was charged a fee to have the banquet there, so it seems Brasstown is double charging. I brought this to the attention of the desk clerk. He said others had already been asking about the fee that morning but there was nothing he could do about it. They did not remove the charge. The $20 wasn't as bothersome as the feeling of being deceived by the company. This seemed dishonest and just sneaky. Because this made me not trust the business practices of the resort, we unfortunately did not book another long weekend there.
