Fodor's Expert Review Brasstown Valley Resort and Spa

For upscale, lodge-style accommodations in a serene mountain setting, this resort is a great option. The stone fireplace in the lobby is an impressive 70 feet high. The rooms, some with fireplaces and balconies overlooking the valley, are comfortable and spacious. For dining, there are two restaurants and a lobby bar. The Friday evening seafood buffet and elaborate Sunday brunch buffets are especially popular. Brasstown's full-service luxury spa, Equani Spa, is just outside the property. The resort also features a variety of sports activities like golf and horseback riding—making it a perfect family destination or couples retreat.
