Comfort Inn & Suites Brevard North

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is great. We sat by the river and had a lovely experience."

The Skyline Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The receptionist recognized that we were senior citizens and gave us a room very close to the office and parking lot. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous size of the bedroom and enjoyed the separate area for the closet and dressing. The shower was wonderful. We enjoyed a pleasant evening sitting on the large outdoor area. We were disappointed that we couldn't access YouTube and Netflix."

Fairway Forest by Coolvacay

8/10 Good

"The place itself was amazing.. once we found it. The area is super confusing and where you check in isn’t super close to where you are staying. Once we were there, it was AMAZING! We loved our quick get away."

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.”"
