"The place was clean and quiet and convenient to the fairgrounds. The only thing we had any issues with was the TV. It kept saying that the channel guide was unavailable. Other than that we had a great stay."

Balsam Mountain Inn

8/10 Good

"Great opportunity to step back in time at this rustic 1920s lodge in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mtns. Tons of character, lots of areas to hang out and play games, peruse their library, and settle in with a book on their fabulous front porch. Quiet location, 20 minutes away from the charming towns of Sylva and Waynesville, NC. Lodging includes free breakfast, a satisfying southern buffet—waffles, cheesy grits, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, etc. Staff is friendly. Service is “relaxed.”"
