Enjoy a spa retreat with a steam shower.
The steam shower provides the benefits once reserved for communal steam rooms in a private setting. A few inns in western North Carolina provide this luxury amenity so that guests can relax, retreat and rejuvenate themselves while on a Smoky Mountains holiday. Attractions in the region include mountain sports, nature walks, historic preservations such as the Biltmore House and antiquing.
The Swag Country Inn
Nestled on a hilltop of the Cataloochee Divide, the Swag Country Inn offers guests an all-inclusive retreat with a stunning view of the mountains. Relax in the private in-suite two-person steam showers, the sauna or in the outdoor hot tub after a long day of mountain trail exploration, croquet, horseshoes, badminton, wallyball and racquetball. Guest rooms and cottages are individually decorated with lodge elements like rough-cut exposed natural wood beams, wood-burning fireplaces with stacked flat-stone hearths, homemade quilts, Early Americana antiques and original artwork. The hotel restaurant serves a breakfast buffet, gourmet box lunch, evening hors d'oeuvre and a four-course meal daily.
