My boyfriend and I came here for a pre-Valentine’s day getaway and had the best time. The plan was to go skiing one day and to the casino the next. We had such an amazing time here though that we skipped the skiing! My boyfriend built us a bonfire one night and we watched the Super Bowl the next night while listening to the waterfall. I’ve never been to North Carolina before but staying here definitely made it one of my favorite trips ever! ##### Jessica M.
