George and Monica do a fine job as Innkeepers at this old historic facility! Sarge and Jennifer, the bartenders, are very friendly and pour a mean beverage! The nightly room rates include breakfast and dinner! They set a fine menu to choose from. Highly recommend as a relaxing get away at the entrance to Smokey Moutains National Park! Whitewater rafting at NOC just down the road. Cherokee Casino 30 minutes away. If you are planning a trip n this area, check out the Fryemont Inn!

My wife and I spent 3 nights at the Fryemont inn in July 2020. The staff was friendly and professional, and they took adequate steps for protection from COVID. The food was quite good and the servers were delightful. We stayed in one of the Cottage suites with a loft bedroom. It was nice, but we had a few issues. In order to reach the Cottages you must drive up a narrow single lane paved road with a few potholes and a 180 degree turn at the top. The placement of the mirror in the bathroom was too close to the outlet to allow the hairdryer to be plugged in. The mini-fridge was too close to the stove to allow the fridge door to close easily. The kitchen was well equipped and clean, except for the drip trays under the heating elements of the stove. AC worked fine. Privacy was obtained by drawing two thin curtains across the full glass doors, but the curtains did little to block out light at night. The pool was very clean and relaxing. The Inn is old, and that is part of its charm, but the grounds are overgrown in places and need landscaping attention. Overall, though, we enjoyed our stay.…

During the July 4th weekend, I wanted to stay at a nice relaxing place. I chose the Fryemont inn because my father had worked there about 60 years ago. I stayed in a king suite that had a large balcony and rocking chairs. The room was large and comfortable although showing a bit of age, which adds to the charm like the rest of the Fryemont inn. The rooms include delicious breakfast and dinner in the nice dining area. The spices in the breakfast sausage reminded me of the sausage my Granny used to cook for breakfast in Bryson City years ago. For dinner, I enjoyed blackened trout, prime rib and a steak special prepared with blue cheese butter. All were delicious. I really enjoyed my stay at the Fryemont inn. Now I know what the attraction is that has kept it in business all these years. …

Freymont Inn is a great place to stay and to eat. Their service is outstanding. Everyone was friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. It wasn’t the kind of friendliness that comes from a couple of reminders to smile at guests. It was genuine maybe because it is family . We had a rate that included breakfast and dinner. Both meals were outstanding. There were several options on trout and all were excellent. The prime rib was beautifully prepared. The sides presented with each meal tended to be “Southern” style. A mushroom casserole was very good. The swimming pool is beautiful. We stayed in a suite in a separate building that is about a minute walk to the historic lodge. The suite had a main room with a sofa bed and a loft bedroom. The king bed was very comfortable and bedding and towels were very good quality. The accommodations are not luxurious but consistent with a mountain inn. There is a stone fireplace we did not use and excellent air conditioning which we did use. My only suggestion is adding a few pegs and hangers in the loft because there is not a closet for hanging clothes. The closet is on the main floor. There are lots of fun activities near the Inn and they were helpful in recommending who to use. Our granddaughter thought we should rate the inn 5.5 out of 5.…

Like stepping back fifty years in time. We visited over Thanksgiving and so glad we did ! It felt like I was back home, with a house full of family and children for the holidays. Huge hearth room, filled with games and a roaring fire..delicious food, Thanksgiving Turkey dinner was excellent !! Things to know if you’re planning a visit...lots of steps, if you stay upstairs..old timey bathrooms, often with sinks in the room, like in the twenties..make sure to ask for a room not above the main lobby, as everyone is having fun there of course and sound travels in this old gal and the room doors don’t close tight. Expect to feel like part of a big family, with lots of laughter and good food and you will be content. We traveled over to Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest...not to be missed...trees over 400 years old and only an hour drive from the Fryemont. Staff are beyond nice..couldn’t do enough to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.…
