Nantahala Village

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasantly surprised at how lovely this places was. It has a historic home feel with many beautiful details but also felt like a second home. Our room was very clean with a very attentive front desk and housekeeper. Highly recommend staying here & I hope to return in the warmer months to enjoy the pool and take advantage of the horse riding stables right next door. . Only one small improvement needed-but requires money. The game room needs a face lift cause it could be SO amazing. Other than that-just wonderful!!! "
