I booked a room in the Lodge and check in was super far where the Lodge was. You have to drive all the way down to the front. Follow the signs!! It was alittle confusing at first. The Lodge room is like a hotel so that's why I picked it. I did not want a cabin or mini house in the area as they offer other kinds of rooms. The room was nice. It's a tiny outdated with the a/c but that's okay. There were ton of small tiny bugs in the room and also the lounge area on the first floor. There are no microwaves inside the room but there is a refrigerator. There is a tiny microwave on the first floor lounge area. Room service is alittle lacking as they don't make the bedsheets. This place can work on their house keeping and cleanliness of the lobby area. They keep their front doors and all doors open so it doesn't not have the best security. So definitely keep your room doors locked. There is a restaurant called Hazel's which I did not try but will next time I stay here. I can't wait to come back again!

It had a full kitchen with stove, oven microwave refrigerator, and sink. The AC was fantastic! The furniture was extremely comfortable, including the bed. Great shower and warm/hot water. There are hills and curves throughout the entire property. We were able to see Lightning bugs every night and it was a calm and relaxing stay. There is parking for trailers near the general store. We brought our motorcycle on a trailer. We parked the car and motorcycle at the cabin and the trailer at the parking next to the general store. We went to Quill's Cantina and enjoyed their food. They have souvenirs, coffee, and a Christmas store next to Quill's Cantina. We never made it to Hazel's restaurant. The pool was closed during our stay, unfortunately but there was a playground area available. You could also rent golf carts if you wanted to. We were minutes away from the Fontana Dam and the Marina. They have a gas station near the General Store too! This is a good place to stay and relax. There are motorcycle enthusiasts and car enthusiasts due to the roads in the area. 30 minutes to Robbinsville (nearest town) and 40 minutes to Bryson City.

I asked my hubby if he wanted to start going again as I had found a room at Tapoco Lodge. Our big joke was it's the *Bougie place*! Well it is bougie where we are from, but it's also comfortable, calm, and very restful when coming back from hot rides with Miatas! From the beautiful Azalea Room to the fantastic eateries and bars in the hotel, you feel pampered and special! Our room was wonderful and there was not only in room coffee, but you could pop downstairs and get a to go cup of hazelnut coffee, tea or hot chocolate! We were cool after a long day, we could pop down for a drink or get some food and not have to leave. Best of all, we personally thought it was quiet. We actually got some decent sleep, which really never happened at Fontana. The mattress and sheets were very comfortable! My only regret would be we really didn't get to use and explore the property as we were at an event. I would recommend Tapoco Lodge to anyone looking for a special experience to enjoy their time, be it a honeymoon or going to the Dragon to ride! It's fantastic!

We did not stay at the lodge--we only made dinner reservations (which have limited seating). We…read morearrived early to walk the grounds of the historic property, which are quite nice. Our party of four (two couples) showed up ahead of our reservation time, but they would not seat us early even though the dining room was mostly empty. There was one hostess at the desk and what appeared to be only a single server working the floor. They bring bread and water at the start of the meal. Be careful if you want to save your roll for later--they only allow one per person. The soup course that followed was the best part of the meal for me. After that, a couple of us ordered the mixed green salad (my wife said it was the highlight of her meal), while one of us had the Caesar salad with anchovies (which he removed). For the main courses, two of us ordered the grilled chicken, one had the steak, and I had the quail. The grilled chicken lacked flavor beyond the crust, the steak was overpowered by marinade so the meat itself was hard to taste, and the fried quail did not pair well with the grits for me. For dessert, two of us had the peach cobbler with ice cream, one ordered the key lime pie, and the other had the Almond Joy cheesecake. The peach cobbler was nothing like a good home-cooked version, the key lime pie was extremely tart, and the cheesecake was the only dessert that was actually good. Overall, the experience was not pleasant. There were very few people in the dining room the entire time--never more than three tables seated. It was uncomfortably quiet; you could clearly hear conversations from other tables. It felt like eating dinner in a musty library. We've eaten at a number of higher-end places across the South, but this is one I cannot recommend.

Right from the start we were greeted by Rosa who immediately made us feel right at home with her warmth and humor. Chef Andrew is an incredible talent. Everything was just extraordinarily delicious! We started with a very yummy chili with cornbread followed by the best pork belly we have had with a yummy almond butter sauce (lord!!) and then finished it off with perfectly cooked flatiron steaks with yummy cowboy butter! Oh and Chef even brought us some crispy cilantro rice that was also just a masterpiece of flavors. I don't know how many times I stopped during our meal to exclaim "this is SO GOOD" ....but it was many. That was the food- the people and service were as if not more impressive. Taz, the innkeeper who served us was incredibly kind and friendly and even brought us a complimentary champagne toast, which was so nice and appreciated! Again Rosa was hilarious and so sweet to us and then we met Shannon who brought us our desserts at the end of our meal and also made us feel like old friends. It was so over the top good that I feel we will be forever spoiled! We definitely will be coming back to stay. Many thanks again

We would have loved to have stayed longer but we considered ourselves lucky to get a room at all during the peak Fall season. We stayed in Room 9 which is on the third floor loft with an interesting pitched ceiling but no windows. The room was great for afternoon napping and it was just footsteps away from the rooftop deck. For a longer stay we would have probably preferred a room on the second floor with windows. I love American history, architecture and Americana so staying in this old circa 1904 bank was fabulous. We even took a peak at the old bank vault that is now used as a wine cellar and pantry inside the restaurant. The hotel staff here is top notch. Everyone was so welcoming and I appreciate that the hotel called before our stay to see if we wanted to make a reservation in The Bistro. The Bistro is a small, quaint, refined restaurant that books full for its dinner service so it's nice that they make sure hotel guests have an opportunity to book first. Our dinner in the Bistro was fabulous - I had the filet while my husband had the Ettouffee. We also had breakfast at The Bistro the following morning which was also very good. In addition to the five-star staff and cozy room, we loved the location of The Everett Hotel. It was walking distance to everything in town including shops, restaurants and the train station. It was also a short drive to Smoky Mountain National Park. As an added bonus, it is right next door to the Swain County Heritage Museum. We were conveniently able to park behind the hotel. Other conveniences we appreciated were the filtered water and coffee in the hallway. A special shoutout to Daniel who made us feel so welcomed.
