These folks have a sweet spot in Hot Springs, North Carolina. If you have never been there, I suggest you go. It is quaint- whatever that means- and they say lots of local eccentric folk milling around town which makes people watching great. Me? I like going down to he pub and having a cold one and a burger after a long day floating down the river. You can WALK to the pub and crawl to this amazing old house.
I think they are asking around $115 - $130 per night with a three night minimum. This is a steal because places like Mountain Magnolia Inn and some of the other places can charge double depending on the time of year. This place is pet-friendly and has Internet high speed. I'm going in October for the leaves and taking a lady friend. Nothing like watching a sunset in a pretty lady's eyes. This is Al and I am going to Hot Springs.
