The Pineola

"Great place to stay! We upgraded to the cabin with the heart shaped jacuzzi tub…. We absolutely loved it! Such a cozy place! Staff there was so friendly! Thanks for a great stay!"

"We had a good time at The Pineola. We only stayed for a night but the rooms neat and tidy. Hot water in the bathroom, drains worked, towels looked clean and heater worked as expected. Some noise from the bar downstairs but nothing too problematic. Lot of tourist destinations at drivable distance, we were headed to sugar mountain skiing resort, which was only 15 mins away."

"Our room was spacious. Hot water and heater worked great. There were a couple rocking chairs outside the room to hang out. Our favorite part was the Taproom where you could lounge inside or on the deck. There was free popcorn. Plenty of seating and games to play for families. There was wine or beer available. Would have been nice if they had a restaurant. You could sit on the deck with a fire pit. There was nightly music. New Year’s Eve was fun. And it was out of the way from tourists but close enough to Sugar Mountain. The only critique is there was something on our coverlet that made us not want to use it. It wasn’t a stain, it looked like mud or poop. And when we received fresh towels the second day, one of towels also had gunk on it. That was gross too."

"The Pineola didn’t disappoint, it’s a mountain lodge / resort in the mountains of western N.C. The room in the lodge where I stayed was reminiscent of a roadside motel with a queen bed, vanity with sink and separate toilet room with shower/tub. The room was clean and comfortable, stayed for one night. The queen bed was sufficient, although the three pillows were thin and flat, even stacked didn’t amount to much. Plenty of hot water, great pressure with nice toiletries, the towels were fresh and soft. Enjoyed the Tap Room, and game night with the other guests staying in the lodge and campground. The Tap Room is a must visit kind of place, with its warm and welcoming atmosphere. Large selection of adult beverages and fresh popcorn. As for the location of The Pineola and area attractions, I can’t answer that question. It’s on the side of a road with a double yellow line. That must mean it’s a road to somewhere. Overall, my experience at The Pineola was a good one, the value for the amenities offered and enjoyed was very good. Disappointed the weather didn’t cooperate as I would have enjoyed playing some Pickleball."

"We rented the tiny home for a quick 2 night stay to attend a local wedding. The atmosphere was so fun and inviting. The tiny home itself had everything we needed and was clean and comfy. The taproom was amazing since there's not much else going on close by. All the staff was friendly and all the patrons were just there to have a good time. I wish it had been less rainy/windy/cold so we could have enjoyed all the outdoor amenities a little more like the outdoor games and patio. We did enjoy the live music Saturday night! I will definitely stay there again."
