As always, I loved my stay at Shem Creek Inn. The only issue I had was being rushed out of my room by the cleaning team before the checkout time. I understand that it was 4th of July weekend and things were busy but that was unnecessary.

Understand. I stayed the week of July 4th. BUT $400 a night?! Microwavable breakfast sandwiches is what they say is “breakfast available at no charge” Again, $400! Can I get fresh fruit at least? The staff, when they were there (not often) were very friendly

The location of the inn is perfect to enjoy all the restaurants & excursions that surround it. The Inn was very clean and well maintained. The room was very spacious and comfortable. The staff was great & we did not need to have much interaction with them because everything was supplied at check in. The only issue we had was the morning of our departure. The cleaning crew were very loud outside our door starting at 9am. Check out is 11am & we planned to try to sleep in before leaving on time. The cleaning crew seemed to really want us out before 11 so they could "be done and go home". Overall we LOVED our stay at Shem Creek Inn and plan on returning for future stays.
