Everything was just perfect! We stayed 2 nights and went on The Polar Express train ride while in Bryson City. The property is wonderful as well as the hosts, and we loved it so much that we are making it a yearly tradition and staying at the McKinley Edward’s Inn!!! You will love how great the rooms and property and everyone are!

Vintage character
Pleasantly enjoyed our stay after the Polar Express train ride. Room was comfortable & clean. Speedy check-in & an awesome delicious breakfast in sunroom with holiday decor along with some history shared by innkeeper. Highly recommend.

The Inn is very close to Main Street and to the Train Depot in the heart of Bryson City. The lodging was very comfortable, homey, and the room was very large and spacious. The breakfast the next morning was delicious and the coffee was hot :)! We very much enjoyed our stay and would come stay again! Definitely beats staying at a hotel!

Nice and Quaint
Beautiful and quiet. The inn was fabulous. The bed was comfortable except it drooped/sunken down on one side. Nevertheless it was nice and described as the picture. Only downside, was the price I paid/deposit for and on my receipt, they increased their prices several months after i booked and had to pay the difference. They didnt honor my bookong price.

Love this inn!
This place is so beautiful inside and out. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The common areas inside were cozy and offered plenty of windows for views of the mountains and grounds. The outside area was well kept with plenty of seating, string lights for evenings, coy pond, and fire pit. My husband and I enjoyed playing coin toss and corn hole. The breakfast was good and the owners/staff were so friendly.

Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was impressed by the overall experience. The owner is very personable and attentive. After a good night sleep on a very comfortable bed, we were treated to a delicious home cooked breakfast. I asked for a particular item that was not offered as part of breakfast and in a few minutes he brought it to me(wow) . This is a place that I would absolutely recommend to all with confidence.

Hotel was very quirky. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Friendly welcome and informtion provided. Maybe not suitable if you are unable to climb stairs as a few of the rooms involve a decent climb! Would recommend though
