Set within 300 metres of Great Smoky Mountains Railroad and 22 km of Harrah'S Casino, Calhoun House Inn & Suites offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Bryson City. Each accommodation at the 5-star guest house has garden views, and guests can enjoy access to a hot tub. There is a picnic area and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. Really nice place to stay, the view from the balcony is lovely and so refreshing with goldfinch and red cardinals in the trees. The room is comfortable with coffee and some breakfast foods provided. I walked down to the local bar for food and everyone knew each other and were so lovely. On the walk back from the bar i saw firefly’s and some small frogs in the nearby pond. Ed and Shirley were lovely and there was a cute cat that came and sat with me in the morning. I wish I had more time there.

Barbecue facilities are offered on site at Inn Highland Manor. A vending machine and daily maid service are provided for guests’ convenience. A children’s playground is also available. Lovely place to stay even though it was busy with the Chevy Truck Show being on. Everything was perfect with this place. Even though we didn't use room maids services they asked if needed anything everytime we saw them.
