Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge Vacations from $186

The facility smelled. Floors were absolutely filthy. Front desk personnel were completely disingenuous. Ice machines out of order. Bedding smelled liked stale cigarette 🚬 smoke. Hallways reeked of weed. Upholstered furniture stank and had visible stains. We were given the wrong room key and walked in on a couple having sex. Pool was closed but it was not disclosed when booking. Grandsons feet were black on the bottom after only a few minutes walking around in the room. We have pictures to support these claims. I’ve never stayed in a place so nasty and paid for it.

Check in was provided by a professional valet and receptionist. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Dinner at the restaurant/bar was vey enjoyable.

Always a great staff and restaurant is excellent. Coffee is very good.

When I first showed up it was a little hard to get into the building. There were several employees sitting inside at a lounge table. I told them I was just trying to find the front entrance as it seemed that it wasn't. She said I was at the correct entrance and would go get the guy that was running the front. The check-in desk had a roll down cage pulled down at all times so no attendant available without calling for assistance. The room I was in must have been over the top of a room that had mechanical pumps as the floor vibrated all night at the head of the bed, which was a little noisy. Rooms were extremely clean and the all of the property was extremely clean. Room came with a full size refrigerator and a cooktop stove that I wasn't going to use. The price was great but I think I'll spend an extra $30 next time and choose another place to stay. Trying to get in the building was a hassle and the lack of staff seemed a little concerning. If you don't mind those speed bumps the place was extremely clean and very quite, other than the room I was in. If by chance you forgot your phone and key to the room when you left your room, I am not sure how you would get back in as the lack of an attendant was off-putting to me.

Quiet, spacious, many commodities, comfortable, AC and heating in good working condition, well equipped.
