Thank goodness we were on the 3rd floor because the floors were quite creaky. Water pressure was horrible . We smelled smoking a few times and lastly, the pull out sofa bed was terribly uncomfortable and it made horrible sounds everyone she moved- she’s a small 11 year old. Our king bed was very comfortable. The staff was super kind & helpful!!

Oconee State Park
Located about 7 miles northwest of Walhalla on Hyw 28, the 1,617 foot long Stumphouse Tunnel is an oddity. Started in 1852 to connect Charleston to Knoxville and eventually on to Cincinnati, the Civil War—and lack of funds—brought construction to a halt. While there were various efforts by the Blue Ridge Railroad to revive the tunnel, none of them came to pass and it stands today as a monument to the efforts of pre-Civil War engineering.
