3/5 - Okay
Unfortunately, with the departure of the GSMR, the closing of The Jarrett House, and all of the COVID-19 restrictions in place, this once-thriving town has seen its heyday. Hopefully it can come back in time






The room was clean with a nice view of river. Friendly and accommodating staff. Great amenities.

Won $1600 at the casino. Staff was lovely. Had a great time. Room was clean and bed was perfect. Just make sure if you are a non-smoker get a non-smoking room. Some rooms are for smokers and in these times that’s unusual.

The lodge was very nice but Expedia really let me down. The Lodge had no booking for me. The staff at the lodge was no help at all so I had to pay for the three nights again on another card. I have not resolved this yet Expedia. I would highly recommend this lodge in Bryson City NC.

Loved that our large deck was about 6' from the creek as it swiftly flowed over rocks making little white caps and white sound of rushing water soothed away all our troubles There's a large round wrought iron table on the deck with armed chairs. Bring a cushion. The interior is a one bedroom corrage. ...

Great spot! Clean and comfortable, warm and inviting! The host was very friendly and easy to get ahold of. We loved our little mountain weekend get-away!

Dillsboro is a small, quaint town about 15 mins from Western Carolina University
I thought I was to young to appreciate small town feel. But in my 30's I fell for the small town charm. Local shops, food, mtn history all within easy walking distance. I felt ready to retire once we left. Love that little town!
Quaint city nestled in the mountains. Very close to Cullowhee/WCU.
Charming historic town offers variety of wonderful shops and restaurants. Very close to other small towns and only 1 hour from Asheville. Great location for parents of Western Carolina University students to stay. Best Western River is the very best!
Eat at Foragers Canteen while you are here, you wont regret it!
