The check-in staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The only issue is the electrical plugin behind the TV did not work. I really wanted to see morning local weather before heading out. Nice TV, just didn’t work.

The room was very clean. Bed linens showed some wear, but everything was nice and clean including the bath room. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. The breakfast was minimal, but overall I thought this was a great value.

I found this growing under some ferns at the base of a rock on the trail to Rainbow Falls in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This is an “ off the beaten path” section of the park accessed from the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. I’d love to know what it is if anyone has an idea! #Nature
