Everyone that works there couldn’t have been nicer. The Internet access was a little difficult… Certainly wasn’t the end of the world! I found our stay to be delightful.

We checked in for one night. The staff was awesome, upgraded our room with no charge. Beautiful historic hotel. The front porch is a great place to relax in the evenings...or lounge in one of the several living areas on the main floors. I would stay again for sure!

Lovely, historic property with outstanding service and super clean rooms. Beautiful newly renovated bar and restaurant with high quality delicious food. Just a minute or two from highway 75 for easy on/off convenience. Competitive room prices when compared with the chains. Definitely stay here instead! Highly recommend and this place will be our new stop over while travelling this route.

Beautiful old hotel. Note that it has nothing to do with Daniel Boone…it’s just named after him. Restaurant was apparently just renovated, but we found the menu to be very limited.
