Fryemont Inn

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this inn has been in operation since 1923. Amos Frye, head of a timber empire in the late 1800s, built it of the best chestnut, oak, and maple in the region. The exterior is covered with the bark of huge poplar trees, as sturdy today as when the strips were first cut. Sue and George Brown are the owners of the inn, which the Atlanta Journal-Constitution cited as being "a rustic, bark-covered architectural masterpiece." Each of the chestnut-paneled rooms is individually decorated, and some bathrooms contain old-fashioned pedestal tubs; all have showers. The large rooms have country touches such as homespun curtains. The cottage suites, open all year, are housed in a stone structure. Each suite has a loft bedroom overlooking a living area with a fireplace, TV, and wet bar. There is also a secluded and well-furnished cabin near the pool. Meals are served in the dining room in the main lodge, open April 14 through October 29. The lobby has a TV, two game tables, and a fireplace that can burn 8-foot logs, and the porch has rocking chairs. Closely supervised children are allowed in the main lodge, but the cottage suites are for adults only.
