HIDDEN GEM! I ran…read moreacross this B&B as I was researching the area. My boyfriend and I don't need much and usually like to find off-the-beaten-path places but something about this little house in town spoke to me. I can not express how perfect it was for us! Very nice, character house and very comfortable. Rooms are cozy with antique furniture and a "your grandma's house" kinda feel. Breakfast was AMAZING.... I'm a southern girl and look forward to country breakfast and this beat out any breakfast I've had in a while! Price is VERY VERY reasonable for the hospitality and amenities offered. We are adventurers and adrenaline seekers so I wasn't sure how the B&B speed would work for us (we never want to be the "rowdy ones", coming in muddy or late and disturbing the "romanticals"). This Inn is perfect for EVERYONE. During our stay, there were 2 families with children, a backpacking couple, the musicians that played the Saturday night show at the local brewery, and of course us (rafting/biking/hiking and a little bit drunk each night). You will be comfortable here, no matter what you're speed. The best part of this whole experience is the Innkeeper, Luke, and his wife Layla. What an amazing, interesting guy! And so kind and hospitable. I would go back to this place just to get a chance to hang out with this guy more! STAY HERE. You'll love it.

A few weeks ago we stayed at Hemlock Inn for the first time and it was a lovely stay! The views are…read moreincredible and this bed & breakfast took us back to a simpler time where you can be present with your loved ones. 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!

One of the best parts - Mort picks children to ring the "bell" to call everyone to meals. The kids love it! This was our first time and we will definitely be back! We stayed at the Inn November 11-15, 2022. Thank you Mort & staff for making us feel so welcome!

Everyone had their own room with their individual access code for their assigned room. So we felt secure and it was like our home away from home for a few days. Also every room has a kitchenette and side table as well as living room. You also have access to your own private sitting room with chairs that is enclosed so you can enjoy the outside while in your own room. The main kitchen is big and has a large fridge and coffee maker and utensils. You may have to pick up your own food and drinks depending on your accommodations but there is a Walmart nearby, the lodge also has plenty of room to host a party or bbq. This is definitely a great place for whatever you're planning to do while in Franklin,

Nancy and staff went out of their way to make us feel not only at home, but part of their family. Breakfast was very good and made to order. The rooms were clean and very nice. Sitting on the porch, rocking on a rocking chair and watching the incredible view was relaxing. You can bring your pets, but if you don't, there is Ethel. She is the "pet" chicken! She is friendly and loves to be held and petted. As you travel up to the lodge, you may see turkeys and deer. We also heard an owl and a coyote in the evening while sitting on the porch. A surprise was watching at least eight hummingbirds feeding on the flowers from the porch. The staff will cook supper for you or give you dining suggestions in nearby towns. It is just down the road from Cherokee, and just a few minutes away from The Great Smokey Mountains Railroad. The railroad trip is worth the time and money. Rafting is just down the street along with guided fishing tours if you want to check them out. Overall, it was one of the best travel experiences we've had. We travel out of town about every other month. We are already making plans to return to the Lodge soon!
