This place is absolutely adorable! The owner is very nice and old Hotel is just awesome. Very clean, and a wonderful balcony to enjoy my wine and watch the little town. The owner was very accommodating to us as we had a trailer and he allowed us to park in the front of guest house.
Not fancy, but very inviting, comfortable and fun.

The owner, Michael, is very nice. Lots of cool history here and a fun small town. We will definitely come back.

We had to come to Talihina for a funeral. This place looked interesting so we booked a king room for one night. The guy who runs the place is a great host. He showed us all the common areas and our room, gave us some quick history too. They had free sodas and beer and spirits were available on the honor system. I enjoyed a beer on the common balcony before bed. The place was perfect for us.

Really excellent and cozy stay if you are passing through Talihina or wanting to spend some time in the mountains. The staff is very friendly and the historic building has undergone an impressive amount of renovation to make it habitable. Worth taking the time to look around and spending time in the shared areas. Would recommend to anyone.

The service and the rooms are absolutely great. The beds are perfect for a good nights sleep.

If you're passing through and need a place to stay this place is beyond amazing! The time, effort and love put in to restoring and preserving this building is so inspiring and the people here are wonderful. The room and bed was very comfortable but we spent most of our time in the common areas reading and drinking wine. 10/10 would recommend to stop and rest here!

Do you want an experience, not just a hotel room? Well, THIS is the place for you! The history, the friendly owner and staff, the many amenities, such as complimentary sodas, water, coffee and snacks, just to name a few. The beds are divinely comfy, the rooms are impeccably spotless, and fireplaces warm your tootsies throughout the entire place. Sitting rooms, games, reading niches and restfulness is what you'll find. Home sweet home away from home. Don't forget to ask about the resident guinea named Guinness 😀 😉

This is by far best and most unique place to stay! Excellent service and accomodations!The owner goes above and beyond!I am very picky on cleanliness and they were top notch in that area also!!! We will return!Thank you

When I called to make the reservation I told them that the day I was expecting to do the check-in was my birthday, the person on the phone told me the day before mine was his birthday. So I prepared a gift for this person, I thought he was an employee. But when I got there, finally, he was the owner of the hotel. They give us a warm welcome to the hotel. The tour arrow by Almon was great. What a beautiful Hotel, a frozen-on-time hotel, a remarkable piece of history. We went there for the first Bigfoot Conference at Talihina, and staying close to the convention location was very good. Interacting with Almon and Mike (the owner) was great, they answer all our questions, really awesome people. The Room was great, and super clean, even my wife told me how clean was, very well presented, warm, nice bed, really HOT water, and lots of water, as you expected in an old building like this one. We had an amazing time, I didn't expect to find such great people and such a beautiful hotel there. I can't wait to come back and even stay longer. Thank You, Mike and Almon.

Wish we had arrived earlier and enjoyed the hotel more. Next time I'd like to relax in the balcony and enjoy a beer or wine from the fridge (it's an honor system) and just look at the mountains. I believe you can schedule a massage. Looking forward to staying again.

What a great experience. Mike is attentive without being in the way. Great place to stay with a great host. He worked with us to provide a wonderful family experience during a recent high school graduation.

We recently stayed here as a first timer for a car club event. At first it was a bit odd to us that we had to call the owner but later we understood that being a small town, he doesn't want the front door to be unlocked. We got the grand tour of the place along with some history of it and the town of Talihina. We received two keys, one for the front door and the other for our room. We stayed in their newly renovated master suite which offers two separate bedrooms and one large private bathroom. There are two large sitting areas upstairs along with two fridges that offer complimentary water and sodas, there is also a coffee station, and a walkout to the front upper deck! Downstairs you will find a large table to sit at and then the large bar area with plenty of stools, a stove to cook on a long with pots and pans, and two refrigerators. There was also a large patio area on the side of the building if you wanted to sit out and relax there! We were very pleased to see how clean everything was and the fact that we had a free run of the place. If I could rate this place higher then 5stars, I would definitely do so! The Scenic Talimena ByWay and the Old Indian Trail are right at your footsteps. Perfect place to stay with either your car friends, bikers, or even if you are just passing through town!

Great place! We got there by accident and ended staying two nights, Comfortable, clean rooms. Lots of snacks available for free with ability to buy adult beverages at a reasonable price. Really homey living area with fireplace where we sat in the evenings with a deck on both levels that was lovely to sit out on night and day. Got a tour right off the bat and it was fun exploring the history of the guest house. My husband loved it (and he usually doesn’t :).. Will be going back.

Being right across from the coffee house makes for an excellent combination! Service is great couldn’t ask for more.

The host was amazing we got in late and he didn’t hesitate to show us around. This place is incredible. I felt like I had stepped back in time but with all the amenities that I would need to survive lol. Even my children loved this place. We will for sure be back and I would give this place 10 stars if it were possible. Do not pass this place up hidden gem.

We came through on motorcycles and we usually stay down the street,but she was booked. We called Mike and he just had 2 rooms available and let me say he made us feel welcomed the minute we pulled in. This is the place to stay we loved it. Mike told us the history of the place and gave us a tour. This will be our stop from now on when we take our trip every year. It was like we was home the minute we stepped inside. So of you thinking of a weekend getaway this is the place to stay. We will definitely be coming back. 👍👍👍👍👍

Our stay here was just amazing! Lots of space, lots of amenities, and a very well kept place. It has 2 patios and big common areas that are perfect for relaxing with friends. We could not have found a better place during our visit in Talihina. Excellent place for groups.

A great historical guest house with tons of thoughtful amenities. Our room and bed were comfortable, the home had multiple seating/relaxing areas, and there were nice touches like complimentary water, pop, snacks, etc. Thanks for the great stay Mike!

My Friend Stacey and I needed a room and everyone was booked. We called Michael, and he informed us that he had 2 rooms. He made us feel so welcome and just like family he treated us.
He also honors us Veterans by giving us a discount.
Staying here was a great experience and we will be coming back!!
