The staff when we registered was cold and when we asked to be moved to a room with a balcony they said they couldn't do it. I had reserved a king room with a balcony. When questioned about not being able to move us to another room he said they were booked. There were about 3 other cars there and when we went for breakfast the 2 days we were the only people in there.

Horrible. Left within an hour. No Tv or Microwave is fine, but there are no locks inside the room and the room was even conjoined to another room without any locks. There was no service and wifi was unstable, this was all fine until the other guests were being extremely loud and then one even looked at me through the sliding door. I felt so uneasy and me being by myself could not stay there any longer. I told the front desk what happened and though she was nice and offered another room higher up, I was too uneasy to even stay. She told me I would get a refund but she wouldn’t be able to do it. Yet several days later I was denied a refund even though I had the worse experience here and didn’t even stay the night.

Far from highway and businesses - no truck sounds. Relatively spartan but has everything I needed including one of the best laundry room for a hotel. Nice to sit out on the porch or the outdoor seating.

This property is apparently owned by the Episcopal Church yet it is a full use public hotel. The grounds were impeccable with hiking trails, a small lake, wooded surroundings, isolated yet accessible, I loved it. A full buffet style breakfast, not like the type you typically find in chain hotels but like a restaurant. The rooms are a little dated but very clean, no television which was actually nice. Highly recommend!

An absolutely beautiful place. Be aware that there is no phone, no tv, and no alarm clock. Internet service is a bit sketchy and cell service wasn't entirely reliable during my stay following Hurricane Helene. An awesome place to relax and unwind or take a rejuvenating hike. Staff was amazing 😍

Property is beautiful, quiet, clean. Directions to check in not very clear. Staff attentive and nice. There are NO TV’s in the rooms, but WiFi is available. Sadly, walls are paper thin, and the person next to me was sick and coughing, I did not get much sleep… The wall AC unit was also loud, it sounded like a mechanics air compressor. I was only staying for 1 night so I didn’t make a fuzz, but the thin walls may keep me from coming back.. Unless I bring earplugs ? There are hiking and biking trails on Site, so those may be fun. 3/5 stars..

No tv which I guess was listed but you assume that as a standard. No hairdryer in room! For being a place of retreat, halls were pretty noisy! Advertised a restaurant but only served a buffet@$25. Had to drive back into town for lighter fare not something most travelers want to do. Beautiful setting!

This might be the most beautiful property I’ve stayed at. The room and property were spotless. I didn’t realize they had all those walking trails either. There’s a beautiful lake. It was so quiet and peaceful. This will be my new go to place to stay!

The negative was no micro wave, blow dryer ir iron or tv in the room. I realized the lodge was originally a religious retreat set up for prayer and meditation but if they want to attract more people they could set up one wing of the lodge with a few updated amenities. I loved the Chapel and all the surrounding buildings. The hiking paths and meditation areas are peaceful. They have a fire pit area, a deck with rocking chairs, several water front decks to sit also. I would highly recommend it for someone looking for a spiritual getaway!!

For the price, I feel like our stay at Kanuga Inn was worth it, as it truly is a very nice property and facility, however there are a few things I was not as happy with: - Overall cleanliness: Not the cleanest and it is worth noting that on the 2nd night, two red cockroaches were crawling around the sink, one of them crawling out of my bag with my toothbrush, etc - I do have photos of this but the app button to add is not working - Disclosure on website: I wish it was more clear that certain things, like a TV, are not available in the room; This was not a dealbreaker as there are more activities to do on site and we did not spend too much time in room but again, would have been nice if it stated in the room description “no TV available” - Staff support: When mentioning the cockroaches, there was no mention to change rooms, or anything else. It was towards then end of our stay so I guess not much could have been done but it he lack of reaction made it seems like cockroaches in the room should be expected
