"Great location. Excellent breakfast. Ample parking. Nice room. Will definitely return!"

Calhoun House Inn & Suites

"You will not find a better place to stay near Bryson city. This stay was an absolute joy. Ed & his wife have put so much love into this space and the experience they curate. Upon arriving we were greeted by Eva, the friendly neighbor cat who came and said hi to us on the back balcony. Followed by a very nice convo with Ed - when he explained to us the best things to see in Great Smoky National park. Having these recommendations saved us lots of time the next day. We only wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the treehouse. 10 stars! We walked to dinner downtown in Bryson city - Native brews. Great food. Extremely comfy beds! Well appointed kitchen! Just could not have been better! High quality interior decorating. You can tell have made it the way they would want it to be for themselves. Would love to come stay again!"
