The Balsam Mountain Inn is a majestic hidden gym of Appalachia. From the moment you walk in the front doors, the hotel’s regal rustic magic washes over you. It’s like stepping into a Time Machine to 1908, which is a priceless luxury in today’s overstimulating world. There’s a water fountain in the hotel that’s been there since its construction that delivers fresh mountain spring water from the surrounding slopes. Healing and peaceful. Stay here if you can!

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. We came into town for an event at WCU. The location was very convenient to the college. The beds were very comfortable, and the breakfast was one of the best we've had in a hotel stay before. We will definitely be back.

    This was the first time I spent some quality time in downtown Sylva and we really enjoyed it. Lulu's on Main has amazing food, Jenna at the wine bar was awesome, the breweries were good and we enjoyed the variety of the shops. We also enjoyed the Jackson County River Walk, I kayaked on nearby Bear Lake and we hiked off the Blue Ridge Parkway. All in all its a great spot that we will come back to again.

    Great small town with a fun, historic Main Street Downtown.

    Great small town with a fun, historic Main Street Downtown. We enjoyed looking through the antique shops, music store and Berlin Wall Museum. Got several recommendations to check out the City Lights Bookstore with Cedric the cat. We ran out of time, but will stop in next time. Great little Eateries here too! Check out the Lazy Hiker Brewing company and Mad Batter restaurant!

    Sylva is a small scenic town in southwestern North Carolina.

    Sylva is a small scenic town in southwestern North Carolina. You can walk the sidewalks and visit the shops without having to drive. There are a couple of places that make their own beer if you're into that. A lot of places are closed on Monday, so keep that in mind.

    Sylva is a beautiful town nestled in a valley, the folks are friendly and welcoming, and the mountains all around are stunning. We were there during peak leaf season and just loved it. There are restaurants and shops and exhibits in the downtown area that make exploring and dining there fun. The old courthouse-turned-library is a must see, and you have to visit Baxley's if you like chocolate. We drove up to Pinnacle Park and walked a little way up the trail (it needs hiking shoes, which we didn't have) and were able to see pretty cascading streams and a lot of beautiful leaves. The City Lights Cafe (we got the Crepedilla and the Spinach chicken wrap) and the Balsam Falls Brewing Company (we got the Veggiepalooza wrap with shredded chicken) were so tasty and friendly that we went to both of them twice. The Blue Ridge Inn was situated perfectly for convenient parking and walking throughout the town. The town is very walk friendly, with crossing lights everywhere, and motorists who were polite and careful. We also visited the nearby Museum of the Housecat, and just loved that too. Sylva is a great central spot for exploring the area.

    If you’re looking for something private and serene, this is the spot. We met some friends and wanted to go rafting in the area, I did not expect this location to be so remote- was a little nervous driving up the mountain, but that’s just cause it took me by surprise. By the time we got there, the hammock, the stream, the quietness of the woods- perfection. Surprisingly close to town as well. The downstairs was perfect for when the kids wanted to escape for some tv and foosball.

    We had to book a last minute stay due to my grandmother being in the ICU in Sylva. Harvest Moon was the most affordable stay we could fined and as a bonus is was beautiful and comfortable. My son loved being on the front porch and just taking in the scenery. The hosts left everything for s’mores and while the weather didn’t permit too much outside time we enjoyed an indoor snack.
