Balsam Mountain Inn

Balsam Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The inn is absolutely beautiful. Loved the huge front porch with the resident yellow cat, the game/puzzle room, and all the antiques in the hallways. The breakfast that was included was delicious and the dining area is beautiful as well. I was surprised how cool the inn stayed without any air conditioning. The ceiling fan and open windows kept us comfortable all night, even on the 2nd floor in August! The only downside was the mattress in our room - it was extremely firm with not much padding. My daughter is a junior at WCU and I've stayed at several hotels in the area, but this was by far my favorite. I'll definitely be back!"

"This property is undergoing an update but yet it was still very clean and will be very nice when completed. The staff was excellent! Our TV remote quit working and within 5 minutes the desk clerk knocked on the door with a new one. Unfortunately, another guest decided to make a disturbance at 2am. Once again, the hotel staff took care of it immediately. We will stay here again on our next trip to Cherokee."
