My girlfriend and I will be there, May 3-5. Looks like a nice "non 'tana" option. I enjoyed the road from Robbinsville last year, so it ought to be a nice stay. A helpful woman at Tapoco tipped me off (who had 30 rooms, and 34 on the wait list- something like that). Full country breakfast, mmmmmm.

My fiance and I are staying there as well. Marsha at Tapoco suggested it to us as an alternative. There were 22 on the wait list when we called Tapoco.

 

I'll be driving through Atlanta on Thurs en route to Lula to pick up my date. Look forward to meeting you, ewturner.
