The staff was friendly and parking was easy. The property is beyond repair. It just needs to be demolished and build new. Carpet, flooring, furniture, fixtures. All of it looks decades old. Clean- yes but very old and run down.

A Pleasant Stay, As Always, At Smoketree Lodge
We had an efficiency room (Queen bed & kitchenette). It is very cozy (not a lot of room) but fine for us. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The check-in process wasn't good. Site said check-in was after 4. Got to the lodge and after looking around quite a bit found a sign that said checking in after 4, call security at a number.

Needs updating
Lodge could definitely use some love. Smelled like moth balls throughout the facility, amenities noted as “available” were at an extra cost (pool, arcade, etc) or dirty (sauna and hot tub). Beds were dated and uncomfortable, dishes were to be washed by guests so it is unknown if they were actually clean from prior guest or not.

No air conditioning in the bedroom, very hot, very uncomfortable, the a/c is in the living room and doesn't reach the bedroom.

The room was clean and neat and very convenient as it had the kitchenette. The only two complaints I have which aren’t really significant, were the window unit blows at nearly ceiling level, so the room was somewhat difficult to keep cool. The other was that you have to remove your own trash, the garbage bin was easily accessible but I was not able to reach the top to open to dispose of the bag (luckily there wasn’t much at all) so I had to take it with me and find elsewhere. However the pool was great and the view of Grandfather Mountain was amazing. I would stay here again, but definitely ask how I could remedy the garbage situation.

The property was quiet peaceful, parking and check in and out was easy. We stayed here on our Honeymoon 28 years ago and have been back several times since. However, it could use some updates especially the bed and pillows. Our room AC was not on when we got there so we had to turn it on and cool the room down which took a while since it was July. The floors seemed to be uneven and carpet was dated.

To begin with we checked in and they said no indoor pool or hot tub. Okay it happens, then no hot water to shower they didn't say anything about that part. It was an okay room but smaller then it looks in pictures.
