Mountain Valley Inn Dillard
Clean room, needs some exterior finishes and retouches. Staff had her baby asleep behind the counter on the floor. Remove the neon lights out front.

Nantahala Cabins
Room was immaculate, the hot tub was clean and hot enough. Host constantly text to make sure everything was okay and our stay was good. Overall this was a birthday get away for my wife and was most enjoyable for the both of us. We will be returning there for another getaway.

Amazing little house in the woods! We absolutely loved it. Close enough to walk to town while also feeling secluded and woodsy.
