    A Magical Place

    April 03, 2013

    I almost don't want to share how special this inn and staff are to our family. We have stayed here almost every year since 1997. I can't think of a better place to sit, read, go for a hike, watch the kayakers, raft down the river, go for a run early in the am at the Bryson City Cemetary. Months before we start planning what we will have for breakfast and dinner every day of our stay. Monica and George and the wonderful staff could not be more welcoming. If I had enough money, I would just retire there. If you have never visited, please come. You will want to come back. The food alone is a reason to visit, but the Fryemont feeling is what keeps us coming back.
