Overall, it was nice and I would stay there again, but only if I really needed to I’m not sure I wou
Pros:

The room was very spacious and the beds were nice

Cons:

There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room. We spent a little while swatting them. The lamp on the bedside table had a burned out bulb. And the television worked, but you had to put the sound on max and then you could just barely hear it.

Dillard House is fantastic for a dilly dally weekend whether you're solo, on a date or with family.
Pros:

Labor Day Weekend 2026, I booked an impulse solo trip to Dillard House to explore nearby waterfalls. (Dry Falls was my favorite.) The destination is an easy drive from Atlanta, and the views of the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains are top tier. Speaking of top tier, The Dillard House provided me a complimentary room upgrade, so the trip started on a high note!!! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Take note that the resort is undergoing renovation; be prepared for parked bulldozers and work sites. Still, the construction didn't take away from the experience. There's a nearby paddock with friendly horses. I visited them every day. The pool was smallish, clean, and stayed open until 9. There wasn't poolside service during my stay, and I didn't ask if it was available at other times. If I'm honest, the restaurant was mediocre. (Eek, I hate to say anything less than complimentary because I loved this.) However, the bartender was great and highly entertaining!! The bar and restaurant close quite early, but plenty of dining options - from fast food to Asian fusion - are just 10-15 minutes away. I had lunch at Universal Joint and dinner at Rabun Social. Blue Hound Barbecue and Hush, a Cuban joint, were highly recommended, too. I didn't have time to get to those. If you go: check out the local flea market behind the hospital. I found a vintage quilt and oil lamps. Last and MOST Important: I'm a black woman and felt completely safe on my own at this resort and in the town.

Cons:

I heard mowers or other machines start up early on Saturday morning, but it wasn't terrible. I was able to get back to sleep.

Can’t wait to come back when construction is finished. We enjoyed the rocking chairs on the patio, however our view was
Pros:

So relaxing and peaceful. Loved the live music. Loved the food.

Cons:

Room 216 has a patio door that is very hard to open . Suggest that room numbers are illuminated for visitors arriving in the dark.

The property is under renovation. Hopefully all buildings will be redone as $200+ was not reasonable
Pros:

view out the back door overlooked a nice wooded area. large shower. mini fridge with small freezer compartment, quiet, bright lighting in the bathroom

Cons:

sticky carpet, stale warm musty odor hits you on entry, wet floor with mildew and rot along the floor around the toilet, strange layout that there was a large tile shower on one side of the bathroom, but the other side of it had an old tub/shower combo, dim lighting in the room

Not what it used to be, disappointing
Pros:

It was ok, service was very slow and way over priced, don’t think everything was home cooked.

Cons:

Some of the family ordered orange juice thinking it came with the meal and were charged $4 for a small glass, I think the waiter should have told them there would be a charge and how much. Food was not great and service was so slow, there was not a big crowd of ppl when we were there so don’t know why. We had supper there the night before and it wasn’t that good either, a strange combination of food. Maybe I’m just picky but I remember how good the food was years ago and it just isn’t what it used to be. It was just good southern cooking every day

Highs and Lows staying here now.
Pros:

The room was nice. Servoce and the staff were great. Family style dinner very good. Most of the rooms and buildings are being renovated right now and when finished should be a huge resort.

Cons:

Since rooms and buildings are under construction, tons of trucks and workers all over. Surprised they are still allowing guests. Huge negative was they have discontinued breakfast during weekdays...only serve breakfast on the weekend. They were known for their excellent breakfasts. There was nothing available in the mornings....at a place known for their restaurant - Terrible. No wonder their ratings are down so much.
