Clarion Pointe-Dillard near Blue Ridge Mountains

10/10 Excellent

"Every time I stop i stay at this place in Dillard Ga. Great staff . Very clean rooms. I would recommend it to anyone."

The Skyline Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasure staying here, nice rooms and a huge plus to have the Oak Restaurant on-site! A big shout out to the great bartenders! All the staff was amazing! I highly recommend this place, we will be back for our third time here!"

Outpost Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful stay! Such a vibe! Friendly and helpful staff. This quaint mountain retreat is full of thoughtful details that make it feel cozy, almost like home. You can get wine in the lobby or bring your own. They even thought to include a wine opener in your room. Having a fireplace right in our room, an amazing showerhead, K-cup coffee, snacks, drinks, and a TV made it tempting never to leave. The light breakfast available each morning and the cozy lobby hangout added to the welcoming atmosphere. But the outdoor fireplaces, cozy seating areas, and even a fireside movie under the stars made the experience even more memorable. The town was super cute too and we loved having dinner and drinks at their sister property, HmH. We loved every minute and can’t wait to come back!"

Mountain Valley Inn Dillard

8/10 Good

"Place had 8.2 star which was a little high in my opinion for the type of place. There was a lot of “junk” around the front office that appeared renovations maybe were being done. The room was clean but definitely could use updating. Had to turn heater on and the smell was horrible. Could hear everything going on upstairs most of the night. There was a lot of young people hanging around outside a good bit of the evening. The staff was very pleasant checking in. Not sure I would stay there again though."
