Amazing stay! Decorated so thoughtfully. Little cabin in the woods, but still walkable to town! Logs provided to make a nice fire to sit around and relax in the evenings. Absolutely a 10/10 and will be back!
We loved our stay! Very rustic and old school yet modern. Tucked away but close to so much! Apartment had just about everything we could need. Will stay again!
The lodge was quite nice and spacious a very peaceful and quiet area real close to town. I highly recommend unless you were looking for the luxuries of a four-star hotel.
We had an amazing stay in 2 bedroom apartment July 4th weekend. Very quite property, nicely decorated rooms, everything looked new and clean. Definitely will return.
My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and had all that we needed. The place was quiet and tucked away from the busy town. But it was close enough to everything.
Clean room with modern appliances. Outside lighting could be better, we got in at 9:30 pm and it was VERY dark in the parking lot. Other than that a very good place to stay.
Such lovely attention to detail in the rooms. Wild Rest was a true gem of a stop during a long weekend spent hiking and exploring the area. The rocking chairs on the patio were great for evenings spent outside.
Room clean and quiet. Parking easy and close by. Room was modernized. Clean. This is a hotel where you check in with your cellphone. There is no check in staff. The cleaning people are friendly and helpful. These are the only people of the hotel you will see during your stay.
We were traveling into town for business and I happened upon this hotel when searching for accommodations. Wildrest was such a sweet, cozy, and comfortable cabin for our stay, with modern amenities! The staff was also very attentive and responsive to our calls and requests. This is the perfect option for those who want a little mountain getaway.
I was enchanted by this property. Having a pool, bar, restaurant was much less important than sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch with a blanket. The property was beautiful. I really enjoyed talking to the manager. He was very helpful and gave me information on the history of the property.
The room was comfortable and had everything I needed.
I will be staying here again when in Waynesville. An absolutely beautiful property.
There is no one on duty at the motel, as everything is handled by phone. Our check-in information was supposed to be sent 15 minutes before check-in, but we had to call to receive it. Communication was difficult due to a language barrier, but we eventually received the information and accessed our room.
The room was small but cozy, comfortable, and clean, and the internet was fast. However, the walls were paper-thin. At midnight, we had to knock on the neighboring room’s door and ask them to turn down their TV. Our biggest concern was that if a serious issue had occurred, there was no staff on-site to assist us.

What a treasure! Great location! I know this is a work in progress, but the property is on it's way! We were so glad they kept a lot of the original features like wood paneling, windows, and stone! The additions are fun and bring it up to date. We slept so well!!! Quiet and peaceful. We look forward to staying again.
This was a nice stop for the night while traveling through. It had a cabin feel without being a cabin. The bed was comfy, the room was clean, the parking was close to the room and check in was simple. Would stay here again.
A very secluded, private park-like setting in a quiet residential neighborhood. The old lodge and rooms have been thoughtfully and beautifully restored. I'd stay here every time vs a hotel. The value was superior.
Can only speak of our unit, as there are multiple, small units on the property. Small, but clean and comfortable. An older property, but updated nicely. Really like the option of interior opening of windows, to let cool, natural air in. No personal interaction with any staff, but readily available by phone as any need arised.
The location was quiet, the room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. I would have liked the light in the bathroom to be brighter. Also, you have to pay extra for coffee pods. It seems like the room should have automatically included 4 pods (2 regular, 2 decaf). But overall it was a delightful and beautiful place.
