My family, friends and I have been using you guys for years. We always feel like we get a quality experience at the best price. Thank you so much!

We come every year to camp and raft. We love it, ya'll are the greatest!

My Son attended a Summer Camp which went rafting with your facility. My Son had so much fun that he would not quit until his Mom and I promised to take him back to North Carolina to Raft. I was amazed that an eleven year old would insist on going back to the Paddle Inn. After our trip with Ardis, Mark and the staff, I can sure see why! That is the best little vacation we have ever had together, and the weather up in the gorge was incredible. Thank you so much! It truly was a "Beat the Heat Vacation".

I have been rafting with several other outfitters on the Nantahala River. My friends told me that I was stupid for not rafting with Paddle Inn. I decided to try you guys this year, and, I'm happy to say, I have to agree with my friends. I had a great time with you folks. I'll never go anywhere else again!

I learned more listening to your Safety and River Instruction last Saturday, than all of the other instructions that I have heard at other companies combined. It was amazing to me how much easier running the river was with your little tips and tricks. After the family all rafted together,  I decided it was time to take a shot at the tongue run at the falls in a single duckie for the first time. I didn't hit it just perfect, but the tips that you gave during the duckie instruction saved me at the falls! You Guys are Absolutely Amazing. We are coming to Paddle Inn again!

I bring my guests and visitors rafting with Paddle Inn. They have always have a wonderful experience, and are always ready to return again! Thank You!

We came up there last year with our family had such a great time decided to plan our summer trip to be with you guys again Thanks

This year will be our 7th year in a row of rafting with Paddle Inn!

Guided Customers Comments
I can't thank you guys enough! I finally talked my wife into a Guided trip. Our Guide was a 67 year old lady that had more energy, and knew more about the river than anyone else I have ever met. At the end of the trip, my wife said we should to the 1/2 price second trip same day, and make another run. I almost fell down when she said she wanted to go in Duckies. She later told me that if Ardis could do it, she was going to do it. I can't believe it, but my wife loves it. Thanks Ardis! We both now have a sport we love thanks to you! We'll be back!

Our Church group rafted with your company on Tuesday. Your guides were some of the most interesting people. The trip started out calm and precise. Just as we got comfortable, the guides started having fun with us. The one member we had with us that I thought might be scared was having more fun than all of us combined. The guides were so respectful, and caring. The guide you called "Bull". I just wanted to "Squeeze" him! When I first saw him, I didn't know what to think, but he was a big Teddy Bear with a heart for Children like I have never seen! Thank you and God Bless you. We have all of you in our Prayers.

Hi! We just got home from our weekend on the Nantahala and just wanted to let you know we appreciate your hospitality. The campground was great and the rafting was as well. Thanks for everything we can't wait for another weekend up there! Say hello to Captain Ron for us. He was a fantastic guide! 

I was sorry to hear about Sonny and his dog Biscuit. He had taken my family down the river many times. But when we went with Ron, and Ron, It brought back memories. I've never laughed so much in all of my life! Thanks again, and keep up with these guides. They are the best on the river.

My family comes to the mountains every summer and we always float the river and camp at the Paddle Inn. We brought our Sunday School group last year. We had 11 people. This year we have 30. This trip is a definite success!  We will see you next week!!!!

We just wanted to let you know that we really had a good time there last Summer. We are getting our Church Youth Group to plan a trip in June. We hope to camp by the river again. The boys had a blast using those Super Blaster Water Guns that you gave us. They wet every raft that came by!

Looking forward to the best rafting again this year. Our men's group from New Horizions Fellowship are going to have a wonderful time camping and rafting.

I never expected the owners of the Rafting Company to come and spend time with us on the Campground. I know you are very busy this time of year. We really enjoyed your company, and we hope to have your company again. If you ever end up in Cleveland, please stop and see us. We would like to return your great hospitality in our neck of the woods. That hunting invitation still stands!

I must say that I was not surprised that you guys were already booked up in July. I called in February to make reservations. I told Sharon we should have booked for this year, last year. Everybody agreed to move their days to the following weekend. Thanks for remembering us so vividly! We really did not think we would leave a lasting impression. But the BarBQ and fried Twinkies, you did remember! God Bless, and we'll see you soon!
