sleep
- Valley King, King with Loft, and Fern Suite rooms are in the main building; Lushna rooms are scattered around the property.
- Loft rooms provide extra space and a fun ceiling hammock, but the stairs to the loft are steep for little kids.
- Fern Suites are ideal for families: two connected king rooms, two bathrooms, and a loft.
- Standard Lushna rooms (150 sq ft) are private but not recommended for families—the bathroom is in a separate building.
- Lushna Suites include a lofted queen bed, ensuite bathroom, and a small sofa that could work for a young child.
- Lushna Doubles may suit families with older kids: two Lushna rooms connected by an outdoor deck.
- All rooms have outdoor space.
- No cots or rollaways are available, but Pack ’n Plays can be provided.
- Cell service is limited.
play
- Great for a simple weekend getaway in nature.
- Heated outdoor pool is open seasonally.
- Free bikes are available first-come, first-served, but only in adult sizes—bring kids’ bikes if needed.
- Plenty of open space for kids to run and picnic tables for snacking or activities.
- No kids club or babysitting, but there are usually other children around.
- The property connects to the McKenley Hollow Trail (2.5 miles out-and-back) leading to Balsam and Haynes Mountain.
- Giant Ledge, a popular hike to a scenic overlook, is a 5-minute drive away.
eat
- One on-site restaurant (dinner only) with locally sourced, seasonal food. The menu can feel a little fancy for kids.
- Breakfast baskets (coffee, juice, pastries, jam, yogurt, granola, fruit) can be delivered to your room.
- Free nightly s’mores.
- Lunch and casual dinners are best taken off-property. Phoenicia Diner is a popular family option.
