We had a wonderful stay, during our visit to ride The Polar Express! The Inn is very conveniently located for this experience, and The Hummingbird Room was perfect for the three of us. The breakfast was delicious, and we had many choices. There are lots of steps for some rooms, so be sure to ask, if this is a concern.

Had a lovely stay with Marie and John. Their inn was cozy, the breakfasts creative and delicious, and my room was comfortable and very clean. The gardens were delightfully serendipitous and beautiful, all at once. Marie and John went out of their way to be helpful and to make me feel at home and welcomed. Tips about Deep Creek and the visitors center made my vacation. Relaxed and refreshed, I look forward to my return already.

Outstanding Inn with exceptional personal service. The owner (John) met us outside and checked us in and showed us to our room and around the Inn. Loved it.

Room that was quaint but up-to-date in this historic small inn. You are truly treated as a special guest. Freshly prepared breakfasts that were delicious in a beautiful dining area. The grounds are unique, well kept and make your surroundings special.

Had enough of stress, hectic pace or overheated cities? We found a wonderful place in Bryson City in the Smokie Mountains to unwind and relax on our Southern journey: The McKinley Inn is a little gem in Bryson City with incredibly friendly hosts. The super cozy rooms are wood-panelled, you don't want to leave the beautiful breakfast room, a small fish pond splashes in the garden, comfortable seats everywhere, there's even a hammock. The breakfast is great, with fresh fruit and homemade egg dishes. The hosts John and Mary are extremely friendly and do everything they can to make you feel at home. They anticipate your every wish and give you tips on how to spend the day in the region. We were provided with everything: hiking poles, binoculars, water bottles, even a book about the special country music in the Smokey Mountains. As a guest, it is very, very rare to experience so much attention. A wonderful place to relax. We want to come back!

My wife and I booked at the inn for our first stay in Bryson City. What a terrific experience! The staff were exceptionally accommodating, and the rustic setting was charming. Each day began with a hot breakfast curated by the on-site chef. The location is very close to downtown shopping and restaurants, and we made a trip out to deep creek to hike the waterfall trail. Highly recommended accommodations!

A lovely place with very friendly and helpful owners, a pretty garden (with a pond and a fireplace!) and a veranda with a magnificent mountain view. The room was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We all had a great night’s sleep, on a safe distance from the sounds from the traffic in the town center. The breakfast was truly great and we also had the opportunity to play corn ball in the garden, which was very much appreciated by the whole family. We wish that we could stay longer.

Wonderful experience at this Inn. We traveled to Bryson City for our anniversary with another couple to experience the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad which was awesome. Staying at the McKinley Edwards Inn took our overall trip experience to a whole new level. Owners John and Marie were exceptional. Both have years of experience in the hospitality industry, and it shows. The rooms were very comfortable. The grounds around the Inn were very intimate, well manicured, interesting, and provided a backdrop for a spectacular view of the Smoky Mountains. The variety and quality of the breakfasts were surprising and definitely as good as the restaurant experiences we had in the area. The Inn became our base camp and we were grateful to return to it at the end of each day for a sweet snack, a cup of coffee and refreshments. The atmosphere is very cozy, clean and relaxing. We look forward to booking our next trip to Bryson city and we will definitely stay at the Mckinley Edwards Inn again.

The innkeepers were wonderful. They provided chocolate chip cookies for a bedtime snack We had the Cattail room on the ground floor, a nice, clean, comfortable room. The inn has beautiful grounds. Scrambled eggs, sausage and fruit for a breakfast buffet.
