Stayed there for 2 nights with my GSMNP hiking group. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood. My room is clean, spacious with a king bed. The bathroom has a jet tub. The first night we were there, we had hot water issue because everyone was trying to take a shower at the same time, so there was not enough hot... More

Our stay at the Inn was very good. We enjoyed having a spacious room and nice balcony with 2 rocking chairs. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony and reading a book. Our room was in the building behind the main house. The bed was just a little too soft for us but the same bed can't suit everyone. We stayed in... More

I stayed there over Labor day weekend. Scott and Emily seemed freindly enough, but I got the feeling they were over whelmed. But for $149 a night, I felt like we got a decent deal and the location was excellant. All though it was enjoyable, this is NOT a B&B, However, this is a step above a hotel.. There service... More

Our family of 4 (parents and two teens) was planning a vacation to the Smokey Mountains and we were looking for a nice place to stay. We couldn’t decide on whether to stay on the Tenn. or N. Carolina side until a friend told us the Tennessee side was very touristy and crowded. We were looking more for a step... More

This was our first B&B experience and the wife and I cannot say enough good things about the Charleston Inn. The grounds were beautiful with a fish pond and decks with a great view of the mountains. We stayed in a king bed room on the second floor. The room was very clean (even the corners) and large with a... More

This was our first time ever staying in any Bed & Breakfast and it was a lovely experience. We enjoyed Scot and Angela as they welcomed us to the Inn. Our lovely room on the first floor had a very comfortable king bed and was in a nearby building. There was also a screened porch attached. A large part of... More

Breakfast each day was fantastic, our room was great we had the bear room so the kids thought they were big shots having their own room and door, works out good for parents who don't want... More

We went to Bryson City for a ride on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad and found a wonderful place to stay. We rented the Berry Bear Cabin, which is a short distance from the Charleston Inn. We loved it. It was perfect for 2 couples. It has wonderful deck with a cover. We were able to sit out there in... More

I truly wish I could offer a glowing report on this establishment, but, alas: The Charleston Inn is a slightly above-average cross between B&B and motel. The host couple were pleasant, but one needn't ask to deviate from their menu as there are no deviations. In other words, what they're going to present for breakfast is it, no deviations. A... More

I can't begin to tell you how great our stay was at the Charleston Inn. Scot (yes proper spelling) and Angela were wonderful hosts. We stayed at the cabin "My Smoky Mountain Home" which is just behind the main inn. It was nice being so close to the main house, yet we had a place of our own with a... More
