So here's my real review (to put your mind at ease about recent previous reviews....) The place is Lovely. Yes, the "driveway" is steep - not for the faint of heart in winter, for sure. Yes, the downstairs toilet was technically clogged when we got there. (It had a suspicious piece of TP in there, so I flushed it and it overflowed.) The staff brought the cleaning supplies I requested, etc. Is it a dreadful toilet? No. Just don't use an extreme amount of TP and follow my husband's suggestion: flush before you go, then flush after you go. This advice worked for us. It was a comfy, laid-back place. We enjoyed it. Free Advice: Go Early to Linville Caverns or you're not gettin' in. Re-check your GPS for Linville Falls or you might find yourself in Linville Gorge *Wilderness* on a one-lane gravel road with side drop-off, praying for a place to turn around sooner than it's going to happen.... Enjoy the view of Grandfather Mountain! Mysterium was great! Blowing Rock was small, but a fun time. Mast General is always fun. Oh, and the actual Linville Falls are lovely.
