I had a delightful stay at this hotel nestled in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia. The rooms were incredibly comfortable with a king bed that felt super comfy, and the staff provided an excellent service. However, the dining experience, especially the salmon dish, left something to be desired. The location in the quiet area of the North Georgia mountains was spectacular, with easy access to picturesque views and even a waterfall. The facilities were top-notch, making it a great value for money overall.

The hotel is nestled in the quiet mountains of North Georgia, offering a serene getaway. The king bed was incredibly comfy, but the absence of walls might bother some. The service was exceptional, from housekeeping to the warm welcome drink, and assistance with tours and tickets. The location is a hidden gem in the hills of Georgia, with the breathtaking waterfall nearby, making it a perfect retreat. The dining experience, although simple with just cookies, added a nice touch to our stay. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything needed for a cozy stay.

I found this hotel in a great location, right in front of a blooming garden and nestled in the mountains of North Georgia. It offers a very quiet atmosphere, ideal for a relaxing retreat. The freshly baked croissants at breakfast were a delightful touch. However, it may not be the most budget-friendly option, especially if Wi-Fi is not included.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel nestled in the mountains of North Georgia.
