Overall Ratings & Reviews The Wilderness Inn

Shower walls and tub stained black and sink was completely clogged I had to cleaned my self.

Not sure how the Wilderness Inn cabins receive such high ratings, other than the price was very reasonable. I have stayed at other locations in the Wilmington area during my spring and fall fishing trips over the past twenty years, but this was the first time I stayed at a Wilderness Inn cabin (Norway). I decided to book a quick, last minute, one night trip and found the Wilderness Inn to have the best price through Expedia. After the initial booking contact I found additional communications to be somewhat lacking, but it did not prevent me from getting into my cabin upon arrival. I found the access driveway into the cabin to be a rough, unimproved dirt road and was glad it wasn’t raining, as that drive could have become a muddy mess. As for the cabin itself, I found it to be cozy and reasonably clean, with comfortable beds and a roomy bathroom with tub/shower with plenty of towels and hot water provided by an on-demand tankless water heater. The in-cabin wood burning fireplace would be awesome in cooler weather. Be advised that there is virtually no closet space, which was not a problem for a one night stay for one person, but could be an issue for longer stays with more people. In room amenities included a TV, microwave and coffee maker, but be advised the microwave is very small. During my stay in mid-May I found no restaurants in the area open. Evidently everything is closed until the Memorial Day weekend. In summary, would I stay there again? Yes!

It was a wonderful relaxing stay. We would like to return in the fall.

Booked this property based on the cabin feel concept, separate bedroom floor plan, and the 9.4 hotels.com rating. I don't know how the average rating of this property can be 9.4. It is nowhere close. We checked in to sub 10° outdoor temps. Inside was the same. Heat not working. Fireplace borderline unsafe with a broken flue damper stuck in open position. So no heat there either. Owner Yann put us in the "cabin" next door. I use quotes, because it was a 70s vintage mobile home that looked as though nothing had been done to it since it was built and rolled onto the property. At least here was heat. For the competitive price charged, it was most certainly NOT competitive quality. As long as you're aware of the considerable lack of upkeep and maintenance to make your choice wisely. I could go on, but everyone deserves to make a living. Just know what you're renting.

Adorable little cabins that are exactly what we needed

Genuinely if you’re in the area and seeking a tranquil little refuge. Look no further. Take it from a guy (me) who books everything last minute. I just happened to pick this place after a long day of hiking and traveling, only to discover how nice it was after. Clean cabins with wonderful owners. Close to everything in the nearby towns, but feels like you’re deep in the woods for a retreat. 10/10.

Property owner/staff was excellent!

I really liked my cabin, management offered me an upgrade from my original booking, and all of the cabins are well lit which is a plus when having a fire at night! Would stay here again!

Very cute little chalet. Everything felt well maintained and clean upon arrival. The property was quiet and felt private. Loved that there was a fire pit right outside of our chalet. Communication with the owners and check in/out was super easy. Would love to stay there again

We booked the small "Balsam" Cabin at Wilderness Inn which is a very cozy cottage in the woods. Even if its getting colder there is a fire place and a well working heating. We felt welcome right from the start. Everything was arranged with care: matches for the fireplace, coffee capsules, sufficient towels. In addition, the location is excellent next to Whiteface Mountain and High Falls Gorge.

First booking without a face to face check in. Went well would stay again. Clean, nice area comfortable cabin

Stayed one night due to passing through the area. The bedrooms are tight with 2 beds in each. Good place to stay for a couple of days to tour the area. The Spruce will sleep 6 people comfortable. Would stay again for the value.

Cozy, comfortable and affordable. I'm on the road constantly for business. This was one of the most relaxing and comfortable places I've stayed.

Beautiful, comfortable, and hospitable owners, loved the fire pits and firewood available!

Very nice cabins with fireplace. No issues whatsoever with my stay. In the images I thought I saw an AC unit pictured but it was a furnace, no AC (in the Norway cabin at least) but 2 good fans provided.

We had the best cabin maybe, Hemlock. I can't comment on all of them, but our friends' was smaller and darker inside. Hemlock was great. It has a good kitchen.

Best value of price , nice surrounding with privacy

Beautiful cabin, nice location and a cozy fireplace.

Amazing experience... a must stay!! The communication with the owners was outstanding. Yann was so kind and informative. He ensured we had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasant one. We stayed in the Norway cabin which was so cute and super clean. The cabin was equipped with everything you need... even a Keurig coffee machine! We especially enjoyed the fireplace. It was such a wonderful experience that we're ready to plan our next visit. 5 stars in our books!

It was a descent off season get away. Thank you.
