Smoky Falls Lodge

Smoky Falls Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"It’s an older property with a lot of character and remodeled sometime in the last few years. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, if a little plain. Sometime during our second day the hot water in the bathroom sink stopped working but the shower was fine. The grounds were a perfect fall setting. The one thing I would recommend is that the owners add some waste disposal cans to the areas where dogs are allowed so you don’t have to look for a dumpster or put waste in a regular trash can near guest rooms. We would definitely visit again."
