Josh and Chad have done their homework sharing stories of the Yellow House's past by digging up photos from yester-year displayed around the property. And for my son (under 10 years old) they offer lightning-fast WiFi internet and TVs as I sit back in a rocking chair to soak up the surroundings which include multiple ponds, a stream, outstanding persevered woodwork, and imagination the activities which took place in the house when it was used to smuggle booze (make sure to ask to see the Yellow House's secret door). And if the kids really great bored, they can go Gnome hunting and maybe catch a glimpse of nature in the process. Thank You Josh and Chad for making us feel welcome and for your OUTSTANDING customer service offered to our Family. We loved staying over to enjoy all the comforts you had to offer which include your wonderful Breakfasts (our son loved the special ordered Chocolate Chip Pancakes and Peanut Butter Pancakes).

My husband and I returned to Fire Mountain this past weekend for our one-year wedding anniversary,…read moreand our stay was just as delightful as the first time we stayed in 2021. Hiram welcomed us with a smile and gave us a very detailed description and maps of where to find the hiking trails we were after. Mathew made lovely breakfasts for us on both days of our stay, and we enjoyed a lovely relaxing weekend in the Star Maiden room in the Inn. Fire Mountain is an elegant, upscale, romantic getaway meant to unplug you from the stresses of daily life. Hiram and Mathew provide a catered experience that is perfectly curated, and we loved returning to this special place. It is obvious that both of them have put their heart and soul into this establishment and we are grateful they continue to share it with us. Thank you both, and Lilly, for an amazing weekend!

Parking: One-way trail after you hit a certain point on the property. Easy to navigate. Plenty of parking in the accommodation area. Service: Matthew and Hiram follow strict COVID-19 protocol here. Guests must wear masks around the property and maintain the 6-feet social distancing. They do not enter booked rooms 2 days before and after the guest's stay. Guests must go to the front desk to get service (extra toiletries, towels, etc.), as there is no maid service currently. No complaints about the service. WIFI: It's non-existent, even though there is "free" WIFI. Connection was not great. Some cellular service may come through, but it was nice to escape from the tech world. Location: Perfect! It's about a 15-20 minutes drive into downtown Highlands. Great distance away from great hikes and views. They have an easy trail throughout the property here, if you do not want to leave Fire Mountain. Massage 1-hour (3/5): Very nice lad but wasn't the best I've had. Great view when you enter though. Clean, high windows that will let the blazing sun through, so it can get a bit hot. The lady followed COVID-19 protocol. Fire & Water Restaurant Dinner (3/5): 1. Watermelon Gazpacho (2/5): It was refreshing with the watermelon. However, the flavor was lacking for me. Bland overall. 2. Cornmeal Crusted Trout (4/5): I cleaned most of this plate. Trout was crusted perfectly without too much cornmeal. Carrots with the sweet glaze were a nice touch. The other 2 veggies were OK. 3. Peach Cobbler (3/5): I'm not a big fan of cobbler. This was just OK for me. Matthew and Hiram are genuine and knowledgeable. They do try to keep up with this place. Matthew is a great cook, as he changes the breakfast and dinner menu up here and there. Would I come back? Yes. Only thing is the restroom.... the space is kind of cramped in our room, especially the shower. I did not like that.

The four stars is for having to drive over a mile to get to use the facilities.

We stayed here in December 2023 from a road trip from our home state of Florida. The outdoors was so pretty and we had a great view of the forest. At first thought I thought our backyard was an icy lake, but it was so cold that it was a golf course frozen over. We definitely want to stay here again another season, possibly the fall when there are colored leaves on the trees. This resort is great for large families of 4+. We are 4 adults and stayed here very comfortably because the rooms are huge and can connect! There is a REAL fireplace in each room and the kitchen is large with all the things you need to cook, wash, etc. The rooms were also very clean. The community room is huge and real nice as well. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about the resort except that if you want to visit the lobby, you will have to drive a little. But, we didn't need to at all. You can always call if you need something and they will deliver asap. I strongly recommend this place! If you have any questions, I can try to answer them for you.

My daughters and I went for a fun girl's weekend, and we now plan to return every year! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The owners, Dave and Brigette, are kind, considerate, and easy to talk with. Our room was beautiful and clean, with plush bedding. The breakfast served each morning was absolutely wonderful. We have several food allergies in our family and Dave and Brigette made us feel unburdensome! They made (from scratch) gluten-free peach bread and Dutch babies, along with eggs, sausage, and fresh fruit. Dave and Brigette went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. They recommended the best local attractions and shared many friendly conversations. Their genuine care for guests shined through. We are planning to return each year as a new family tradition.

Surrounded by buildings and a very close walk to the Downtown Highlands Shopping and Restaurant Area and only a 2 minute walk to the Old Edwards Inn, this place is a TRUE hidden gem! There's even a breakfast/lunch cafe ( Blue Bike Cafe ), Hair Salon and Pet Spa on site. The room we had was so bright, pretty and newly renovated....it was as big as a beautiful one bedroom apt and the whole place was recently remodeled and decorated and the owners paid attention to every detail....fireplace, furniture, BIG modern shower, little refrigerator, the SOFT bedding and even the towels smelled nice. I hated to share this place on Yelp because we know eventually The Inn at Creekside is going to be found out and we sure hope our little find will be available when we go for our Mountain getaways!

Cozy up next to the fireplace, dive into a good book on a rocking chair, grab a board game to play with your spouse or kids, or just take a little nap while you listen to the rain showers. I highly recommend a stay here if you'd like a weekend retreat in the mountains of Western North Carolina and quality time with family and friends. Hemlock Inn is conveniently located a short drive from downtown Bryson City and the Cherokee side of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Hemlock Inn is a nice little place in the woods with quaint rooms, limited technology, and good Southern food. I loved that they rang a dinner bell and had a blessing before each meal, served family style. We traveled with our 1 year old and I was glad I packed some of his favorite foods from home to bring with us (we as moms know our little ones can be picky). Hemlock Inn will gladly provide you with ice to keep items cold and some rooms even have a small refrigerator. The staff here at Hemlock Inn are so attentive and welcoming. Mort and the entire team truly embody Christian hospitality which is a breath of fresh air. We enjoyed everything about our stay at Hemlock Inn and will return!

Trip from Sapphire -- Cashiers -- Highlands over a long weekend ... the Brook Trout Inn was our…read morefirst accommodation along the way, and we couldn't have asked for more. (We'd never been to this area of NC so didn't quite know what to expect.) This place is directly off the main drag, and is run by a husband and wife with a small team to assist. Julie (the owner) was as sweet as pie, and each morning greeted us in the dining area, offering to prepare our bacon and eggs in any style. This was probably the best aspect of our stay. She was happy to talk with us endlessly, and quick to make an outline of all thing things we could do during our stay. The continental breakfast area was always available for guest use, we really loved that; we played hours of Uno there of an evening. The rooms, while small, are efficient and most importantly of all--*so* clean. We stayed in one of the "round house" buildings (I think there are only 2?) on the second level. Our deck was shared by the neighboring room, with whom we enjoyed chatting one evening on said deck. Our room was equipped with a mini-fridge. Soaps, towels, toilet paper, and everything you would expect in a standard hotel were provided. The walls are thin enough to hear our neighbors, however everyone seemed to be respectful, so it didn't bother us too much (there was a cute barky dog next to us, but her cuteness exceeded her barkiness). A note about the rooms being small - there are common spaces all around the property aplenty. So the room size didn't matter too much to us because our time spent there was basically for sleeping / showering. The main building, as already mentioned, has a great room / parlor area with fireplace for hanging out. There are chairs on the front porch, and even an outdoor firepit with a view of the neighboring mountain ridge (which we did not use). The size of the room was outdone by all of these added amenities, and there felt like a sense of community there. Do not let room size deter you from a stay. The property is close enough to the main road that you can hear traffic, but the noise was tolerable, and it was not constant. This did not bother us, and would not deter us from another stay here, ever. I fail to understand any review which is four stars or less, people will complain about everything. The accommodations were priced just right ... we stayed in high-season (July) and were quite pleased by what we paid. The Brook Trout Inn exceeded our expectations in every way. Go hike Gorges State Park! Then go to Whitewater Falls, during your stay!

They also went above and beyond by cooking eggs and bacon for our dog. The staff was very friendly and showed us around the property and made sure we were happy with our stay. We highly recommend giving them a try. You will not be disappointed.
