Rooms have been newly renovated. I have been staying here off and on for years. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The property has had an entire face lift. I would recommend. Hiker rates available. Pet friendly. Perfectly positioned in Hiawassee . Able to walk where ever I needed to go.
true hike stay here for 2 day not that bad of a price easy walking distance to get all your stuff done Fire Dog
Place is fine. Staff is friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a 4-star hotel, this isn't it. But it's comfortable and clean. It met our needs well, and we'll stay again.
Great place for the low price it was. A hikers respite at its best. Bathroom, bed, microwave and heat are really all you need anyway. A place to crash. Would come again. They have internet and TV too, although my room wasn't hooked up with cable, which was fine with me. Stayed two nights to get out of freezing temps on the AT.
The best stay we've had in Hiawassee. Clean room and friendly staff.
Great option for a hiker needing some r&r for a night. Some stars off because my toilet wouldn't flush. Manager came to plunge and snake the toilet but only temporarily stopped the problem. I just tried not to use it. Great walking distance of outfitter and grocery store. The Hiawasee Town Square had a live band and a gathering of people watching and dancing in the street, which was fun. Beautiful area too. Would stay again.
This place is getting a 2 because the shuttle driver, cleaning staff, and the guy at the desk were all super nice. When I didn't end up staying here the shuttle driver even drove me over to Blairsville for $20. I wouldn't blame any of the problems with this place on the on-site staff. This place has ownership issues.
I had made a reservation here because I needed to get off trail and this place is kind of infamous among AT hikers. The price was decent but when I checked into my room I was a little less thrilled. One bed felt like it was about 40 years old and sunk about a foot when I sat on it. The other bed felt like it was a sheet over a piece of plywood. I'm glad I didn't stay and have to make that choice. The place where a TV was supposed to be had only a remote control and a dish reviewer. No TV. The idea of putting in a couple nights in this place was a definite no-go.
My room was on the back of the hotel and the area outside of my hotel was interesting to say the least.
When I went to tell the fellow at the desk that I didn't want to stay, let's say he was less than shocked.
If you are part of a group of hikers and need a cheap place to stay and get out of the rain then this place should work but beyond that, I'd definitely be looking elsewhere.
Stayed at this motel two times, beginning and end of our week long hiking on Appalachian trail, AT. All the rooms that we had was super clean and Dave from front desk was very professional and helpful. This is mostly a hikers motel. As expected met other hikers, having long conversation sharing our expertise. ||Sitting on chair under the porch was very relaxing. The table under the canopy helped a lot celebrating our end of hike, pigging out salad, pizza and of course beer. The motel is close to resupply and restaurants. The laundry room had couple of washers and dryers to washup with just $2 for each and they provide the detergent. I think we will go back to this motel next year annual pilgrimage to AT to finish another section.
Best Hostel on the trail because the owners and Nimrod CARE!
They all helped us in super clean and comfortable accommodations, truly great food, and advice that saved us time, weight and money.
Gordon- special thanks for helping me fix my leaking m
So you want 5 star food without the pretentious atmosphere? This place has got you covered. I've never been to a restaurant with a more laid back vibe. The lighting, the music, and the staff were all warm and inviting. The food was out of this world.
Lunch time for three! Order at the counter and they bring to you. Can dine indoors or out on covered porch. Indoor dining area is tight but definitely fits a good BBQ dining spot along with decor. Barely a wait for entrees. Pulled pork sandwiche
