We were charged a resort fee for one night. Very small properly with exterior needing some TLC. On the lake which is nice but traffic from the road is distracting. The pool was closed. I do not understand the resort fee. Just another reason to charge guest more. Thank God my trip was only 1 night.

It is a nice property. Wonderful staff. We were worried we’d get an old tired smelly room, we got an old tired VERY CLEAN room. Bed was comfortable and new wall paper in the bathroom probably made a very big difference. $330 per night was my biggest dislike in that I felt we got a /-$250 per night experience. All in all 5 stars if it the price met the value.

This is our go to place when we go to Hiawassee. The lake views are amazing, and the property is well groomed and beautiful. The logging is close to the marina bar & grill with an easy enjoyable walking path, so you do have to drive. The rooms seem larger than a normal hotel. Checking in and out is so smooth with a great customer service staff. You will not regret staying here!

Lovely property and rooms. Beautiful view of the lake. Easy walking to restaurants. It was a mixed bag as far as customer service. The hotel staff were lovely and able to accommodate my extra needs. However, the service at the restaurant The Oaks, that is a part of the resort, was seriously lacking. Food was fine, at best, and was on the expensive side. Cocktails, not great. They seemed understaffed for breakfast and didn't greet anyone at the door which left me and others awkwardly waiting, unsure of what to do. Overall, it was a fine stay. Seems perfect if you plan to stay with a group and utilize the nearby marina and lake. However, if you are just staying in the hotel for a night or two, or traveling alone, it seems too expensive for the experience and quality of stay.
