Balsam Mountain Inn - Sylva

I only visited the bar, but the staff was very nice and the service was good. I liked the charm in what I saw of the old inn.

Very Nostalgic place. Enjoyed coffee and music on the porch.

Great atmosphere, very quaint old hotel with so much history. Staff was very friendly, so relaxing to sit on the front porch. Only criticism is that it would be nice to have some pastries with the morning coffee. Wish the owners luck with their renovations.

I can't speak to the rooms or service, because i haven't stayed there. However, I have attended a couple of music performances there that were top notch! My only minor complaint is that the chairs are a bit uncomfortable to sit in for a long period of time. I know the owners are doing all they can to fix up the inn and I applaud them for that. So the seats are a minor concern.

I only gave 3 stars because they are closed for now. New owners renovating. We frequented years ago and loved the place. Did not stay there but went to the restaurant often and just visited for the beauty and peacefulness of the place. Sure hope the new owners breathe life into it again.
