    envelope left in our room
    Megan M.

    Overall, this stay was OK for us, for two nights. We weren't there in the house/room often, other than to sleep. Any longer and we would not have been happy. We stayed in the Owl Room, downstairs. Positives: Location: this place is very walkable to downtown and Fluor Field. We found ourselves walking everywhere as the trolley service was not being offered due to a driver shortage. This wasn't a problem at all. We felt safe here, too, other than housemates that did not manually lock the door behind them upon entering or leaving. The Inn was easy to find. There is currently construction going on directly across the street, but it was never a problem for us. Ambience: The Inn is very cute. We liked the Ikea styling and chalkboard walls with notes and suggestions. Amenities: The room was as described and the bed was comfortable. There were plenty of clean towels and pillows. We appreciated the robes, ironing board and iron, as well. Ample coffee and creamers were provided in both the room (we had a Keurig, pods and sugar packets) and out in the shared kitchen (several different creamers, milks and half & half). The breakfast offering is help yourself to fruit (bananas, apples and clementines), granola bars, mini boxes of cereal and instant oatmeal. There were frozen pancakes in the freezer, that I saw too. It was replenished while we were there. Assistance: When we needed it, we received immediate help with our entry code not working. Negatives: Expectations: We booked through a third party because of the direct-booking cancelation policy. Because of Covid we needed to be sure that if, for some reason we had to cancel, we wouldn't lose our money (duh). I didn't think this was a problem until we checked in. Our entry code did not work, so I called the number and it was taken care of; no problem. When I booked two months in advance, I contacted SWI, asking if they would reserve two bikes for us. I was directed to their website, where I updated my reservation with the Inn, using the confirmation number provided when I booked third party. This worked seamlessly, and I noted on the direct reservation that I wanted two bikes. There was nothing there that indicated this was a problem, so I thought we were good to go. Fast forward to check in and we see four bikes in the hallway and we think, 'great, some of these must be ours'. I text asking about our bikes. It's a long story but what ended up happening was us being told that yes, there are bikes, but we can't be charged for them because we booked through the 3rd party. We were directed to Reedy Rides for bike rentals (where I should have just booked to begin with). I accepted that answer until I saw the envelope in the attached picture. At the top, bikes are listed. At the bottom, there is a line for you to check if you enclose money... this seems like a pretty simple way for us to pay for bike rental - already set up. SO, we did not rent bikes from here but, as it turns out, we could have. Four unused bikes sat outside our room for two days we were there, by the way. Facilities: There were ants in our shower every time we took one. There are blemishes all over the walls, especially in the bathroom. Hopefully, they already know those are there and won't think we did that. Every. Single. Time. any one of the housemates upstairs flushed their toilet, it sounded like a rushing waterfall directly behind our bed. This is only annoying when you're trying to sleep. I don't know if it's that the house is just old (it is), the walls are thin or the pipes aren't insulated. Maybe it's all three. Whatever the reason, the water is extremely loud right by your head. Also, I couldn't find a thermostat anywhere. There was not one in our room or outside of it. I'm not that person who wants the AC on all the time, but it would have been nice to have some control over the temp in our room. Housemates: I normally don't mind having shared spaces or housemates. I know it's a hit or miss, depending on who you're sharing with. In this case, the housemates sucked, tbh. They were loud both early morning (6am) and late night. They stomped across every inch of their floor, directly over our heads. They talked loudly right outside our door. So, if you book this place, choose an upstairs room, as that may reduce the noise. You have been warned. Based on the items above, I would not recommend staying at Swamp Rabbit Inn, Greenville. I'm left with an overall feeling of "you get what you pay for" with this place. I'll spend more money next time.

    This is the outlet that caught on fire, including the wires inside the wall along with the Christmas tree

    The worse place to ever stay at! THIS IS a DANGEROUS building, the power went out due to storms, no emergency lighting came on (code violations,) no flashlights, they run the whole heating off of Electrical not gas so the temperature in the house dropped drastically. In addition, they have no generator to make matters worse. On Christmas Eve the Christmas tree that the Inn had in the building, caught on fire, along with wiring in the walls, the circuit breakers outside are not properly indicated & not easily accessible behind bushes, the emergency number is partially written on a blackboard , then we found it in paper work, when we called last night, it took over 1hr to get a response, thank god the fire trucks & police showed up within three minutes and put the fire out! The main chandelier in the kitchen, is hanging by an electrical wire & (another code violation) The whole house is a fire trap! The service is terrible. The house itself is nice, just needs to be brought up to code & fixed ! The bath room are very small, because they tried to squeeze in as many bed rooms as possible The manager is useless! , it's clear they only care about taking your money, not providing safe & good service. My family had to check into a hotel & out, 2 days In row & we won't be going back, the place cost $1,400 a night. We will be expecting a full refund.

    The decor is so adorable, and everything was very clean and welcoming. I had everything I needed. I was in love from the moment I stepped through the door. Very close to beautiful Falls Park.

    Private bathroom in sheep room. A little tight but just right.

    I wrote a full review of my stay at Swamp Rabbit Inn here: http://forkcetious.com/stay-greenvilles-swamp-rabbit-inn/ I visited SRI with my ex in January 2016. We were supposed to go to Charlotte to surprise my friend but that trip had some hiccups so we decided to just make the 1.75 hour drive to Greenville during MLK weekend. We were greeted by this cute little lady, Lisa, who was extremely hospitable. She showed us to our room, the owl room, which was very nice. Ikea down to the socks cute. Lisa also shared tips regarding things to do and where to eat in the area, which was nice too. The place, overall, is beautiful. The decor, the pastries in the kitchen, the layout... just lovely. I definitely want to return. The inn is in walking distance from practically anywhere in downtown Greenville, so you don't even need an Uber. I really can't say enough about this place. I would never stay at a hotel in Greenville. This is much more quaint and charming. Wendy, Lisa, thank you again!

    Hats off to people who develop and create interesting spaces like this place. We are not bikers, we came through for a concert at the local arena. This place is freshly updated and cleaner than our house! The shared inside/outside space is vast and tranquil. Great snacks and food to nibble and hot fresh coffee. Bed and linens were clean, fluffy, and comfortable. If you stay here once, I bet you'll be back.

    Cute private bathroom with amenities.

The Wildberry Lodge gives you the privacy of the mountains with the feel of an upscale hotel.

The breakfast features fresh fruit, delicious eggs, potatoes, and a variety of juices. We are not the typical frustrated novelist who always post reviews. However, we had an amazing weekend and confident you will have a similar experience. ​

    Can not describe our visit here! Everything was superb and everything we imagined it would be!…read more Ken and Glenda are the sweetest hosts I've ever met! During our trip to Asheville we wanted to experience the city but also have cabin time. Wildberry lodge provided us with the most relaxing and comfortable experience we could ever ask for. Wild berry is definitely a way to get out of the city and just enjoy the quietness of nature (without going too far of course!) The drive itself is around 25-30 mins from downtown Asheville - there are several ways to get here but the new foundland road was probably the best route. It's easy to stay in the cabin and go enjoy yourself in the city during the day or evening. Ken and Glenda were very hands off and so friendly - if you have questions on where to go or what to do they can accommodate everything! The main cabin has multiple rooms - gooseberry and some other room options. This is where you check in, get breakfast, game room, sit on the deck, coffee/cider bar and chit chat with other guests if your heart desires. The best part of our stay was Glenda's breakfasts! Her recipes were featured in an Asheville bed and breakfast recipe book! We signed up for a bfast time the day prior (anywhere from 8am-930am) and she is usually ready whenever we get there! Our first breakfast included - garden frittata, bacon, homemade English muffin, rosemary roasted potatoes and to finish it off - poached pear. Our second breakfast included pumpkin pecan pancakes, cranberry/apple chutney and sausages and ended it with a mixed berry cobbler. Everything was superb and very filling! We stayed in the honey moon suite to get the full cabin - on our own - experience and it was gorgeous! The bed is super comfy, everything was clean and up to date. It was almost like glamping! Only downside to our visit was the drive at night can be a bit scary if you are not use to driving on mountains. One of the first nights it was raining so it was slightly difficult coming back to the cabin from downtown Asheville. Just make sure you have a car and drive safely! After the initial drive you will get use to it and it should be easier' Other than that - this is a place worth splurging on and visiting!' Thanks Ken and Glenda!!

The parking could use some better signage. The food service went smoothly. Utilizing two lines is great. They squeezed far too many people in the room. Very claustrophobic.

We didnt book or pay for our room, so I am clueless there. I would guess somewhere around $100 to $110 a night? Our room was great - huge king bed, jacuzzi tub, balcony access - my only thing is there isn't a shower. It wasn't the end of the world since our family was in the next room and we could sneak over there, but it wouldn't be ideal to be in that room for a weekend if you didn't know the neighbors. The breakfast spread was lovely - pastries, muffins, waffles, cereal, yogurt, granola bars, coffee, orange juice, apple juice - we definitely didn't leave hungry. My complaint about it is (of course) the floors and stairs are a bit squeaky. Probably fine if no one is above you or people aren't getting in late, but we had just laid down to go to bed and guests arrived for the room right above us. The property was lovely and the staff went above and beyond. We were there for the entire wedding - rehersal, wedding, reception - and had no issues.

The property was very impressively decorated for Christmas!! I loved how the large, two story Christmas Tree was in the main lobby and extended to the mezzanine level and they decorated it so very nicely! I also noticed the garland inside and wreaths outside. The whole property was nicely kept up to shape as well, so regardless of seasonal décor, I'm sure it's a beautiful place any time of year! This property has a restaurant onsite, Spoon Bread is what it's called. They also have the Piano Lounge. The Piano Lounge has a bar, which is a nice (and clearly popular) place to hang out and meet prior to leaving the property for dinner. Also a nice place to gather for that after dinner night cap with co-workers. Sleep quality was decent. HVAC in the room was nice and quiet... the worst part of the room was the bathroom, which I hated because you can't open the door and use the shower, because the door opens into the tub. They need to replace the door with barn style or pocket doors, like other properties have. Only other issue was the valet. I tipped a dollar on one drop off one day and the valet gave it back. I've never had that happen before. So, a dollar isn't enough and you prefer nothing at all? Noted! Overall, the stay was nice, but next time I'm in town, I'll try the AC across the street - It's looked way more festive outside and it's worth a try.
