McKinley Edwards Inn

Staff made this stay worth while. The facilities are good and the grounds around the property are very unique.

Due to topography people with mobility issues could experience some difficulties.

We stayed 2 nights at McKinley Edwards Inn in Bryson City during our April trip and really enjoyed the peaceful, historic charm of this property. The setting in the mountains is beautiful, with lovely views all around. We especially appreciated the private little terrace with rocking chairs in front of our room — the perfect spot to relax and take in both the sunrise and sunset. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortably furnished, with a fridge, two chairs, and a small table, which made it easy to unwind after a day out exploring. Jaimi and Ryan were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. Breakfast was included and served buffet-style each morning, with highlights like baked eggs prepared in different styles, yogurt, and fresh fruit. The only downside for us was the spotty WiFi, which could be a bit unreliable at times. Aside from that, we really appreciated the quiet location and overall atmosphere. A charming and relaxing place to stay in the mountains — especially if you’re looking to slow down and enjoy the surroundings.

“WiFi was somewhat spotty during our stay, and compared to other places we stayed on this trip, the price felt slightly higher considering the amenities offered.”

Bryson City was the best pick as a base for exploring the Smokey Mountain. The inn is 5 mins drive from the downtown in a quiet and green area. Charming garden, good breakfast, spacious and clean room, nice view from the 2nd floor veranda.

Common area in the main building closes at 8PM, occasionally we would have enjoyed it till later.

Breakfast was exceptional, hosts were welcoming & very accommodating. Grounds were quiet, peaceful & mountain view was good. Beds were comfortable, room was clean.

The building was older, bath was clean but very small. Room needed more outlets for charging phones. Second floor rooms had exceptionally steep stairs.

Very comfortable and relaxing. John and Marie are excellent hosts.

Breakfast was great !!! Staff was kind and helpful

Wonderful breakfast, great variety of things to do, awesome staff

Ice machine was broken and it was a boil water advisory. Those things were out of their control and the owners went above and beyond dealing with the situation.
