This place is truly something special. It’s a small hotel with around nine rooms, which makes it feel very private and peaceful. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they are beautifully designed, cozy, and have everything you need for a comfortable stay.

What really makes this place stand out is the location. It feels like a hidden secret, there’s a stunning, almost private waterfall right on the property, and even a trail that starts there. At night, the waterfall area is softly lit, which creates an incredibly relaxing and magical atmosphere.

There are so many thoughtful touches: areas for grilling, spaces to hang out with friends, a game area, and multiple private spots by the water where you can sit or even have a bonfire. It’s also pet-friendly, which is a huge plus.

And last but definitely not least, the staff is amazing. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. You can genuinely connect with them, and they go out of their way to recommend great local spots.

Overall, this place is a 10/10. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and peaceful getaway.

This was the ideal staycation of all staycation. I felt the slightest twinge of guilt having the place all to ourselves on the weekend before it all gets incredibly busy, but I got over that real quick. Sorry, not sorry, we lucked out. This was dreamy from decorations to decor to ambience:
1. Gorgeous inside & out
2. The most impressive little touches of love and care and hospitality all over the place, too many to count, you'll have to go see for yourself.
3. Close to outdoor adventure, not to mention a trail on property and our room overlooking a waterfall mere steps away.
4. Provisions for smores, snacks left out for us, the cleanest rooms ever.
5. And a book with a bunch of local things to do which were plenty, including G.O.A.T & Lady Bug Landing;) so precious & fun!
The staff was very conscientious and helpful, most definitely coming back!

The location of this hotel may be the most beautiful I have ever stayed at. It is on Tiger Creek Falls and they have multiple decks on different levels to enjoy the views. The hotel is older but very clean and comfortable. They are in the process of upgrading everything. We got there 3 hours early and asked about dining options in the area. They had our room ready and allowed us to register early. The woman we spoke with was friendly, helpful and showed us the different decks. A very enjoyable time.

It was a beautiful location! The staff could not have been more helpful and kind. The room we had looked out over the falls...the sound was heavenly! The accommodation was well stocked, spacious, clean and recently renovated. Patio games, fire pits, grills, and Roku tv were available for entertainment. No restaurant was on site, but the management had water and snacks set out for his guests to enjoy. There were walking trails along the river and out to the falls. The only downside would be the steps/stairs that had to be utilized to access most of the rooms, but they were not impossible to manage. We would definitely go back in the future!

Conveniently located to cute quaint little shops and a large amount of dining selections, as well as beautiful hiking trails. The atmosphere here is incredibly serene & perfect for anyone looking to unwind and recharge. Especially loved the light show on the falls at night. I’d give it 10 stars if I could

Awesome place to stay and relax. Inn keeper is too notch. Had a pretty rough storm the last night we stayed but Mike the Inn keeper was out there at 3am roght after it passed cleaning up debris from driveway, checking on the patrons vehicles and blocking of the stairwell to the lower observation deck due to a tree snapping in the wind storm and falling on the bottom stair case.

Wonderful cabin by the water

We had a great time staying at Cascades Inn. Michael was so friendly and welcoming, and he made sure we were comfortable with the property. There are lots of seating areas and the waterfront is awesome. The cabin itself was comfortable, but could probably benefit from a deep clean (under the beds, under the kitchen stove, etc.). We didn't have any real issues, though, and it was stocked with all the supplies we needed. My kids absolutely loved it, especially the loft area. We cooked dinner, played games, and relaxed after an afternoon hiking at Tallulah Gorge. Very close to the park, and easy to find. My kids have already said they want to come back when it's warmer.

Got there was told no rooms available or ready told would calls as soon as room came open. They never called. 3 hours later we arrive back Did not get what was promised! Paid for room or cabin overlooking falls. Got standard room by office! Loud noisy! Walls thin can hear others talking! After my talk in room with my husband of color!!! That I felt we were not welcomed here due to obvious reasons! Owner came to door and stated “oh we do have rooms down by falls with your own private overlook” do you want one!!
