Jonathan Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my screened in porch on the creel."

Quality Inn & Suites Maggie Valley - Cherokee Area

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming! The hot and pool were clean. Crystal at the front desk was super nice and helpful."

Comfort Inn near Great Smoky Mountain National Park

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service"

Smoky Falls Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, the linens were clean and fresh. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great place to walk our little dog. The only negative I have about the place was no microwave and the TV channels were lacking. But not enough to take away a star. Would definitely stay there again."

Best Western Mountainbrook Inn

8/10 Good

"It was very clean! Centrally located. The lobby was beautifully decorated with fall colors and articles. A nicer breakfast than was expected. Our only complaint was that the bedspread could have been a little heavier for our fall visit. We really enjoyed our stay."

Five Star Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying here. Last time I stayed on the creek, this time I saved some money testing out the street side units. The creekside is very calming, with the creek providing the only sounds. The street side was less noisy than I expected. The units are well insulated and you can hear cars if you really listen for them but its not a problem. Anyhow Sally and the gang are very friendly and helpful and accommodate anything you need - she even held a creekside room for me so I could decide when I arrived. My daughter lives in Waynesville with her newborn so I'll be back. There is a coffee place, a bakery, and several restaurants within walking distance, so its very convenient if you don't have a car."

Best Western Smoky Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean and the staff was helpful. The complimentary water and popcorn in the room were greatly appreciated."

Cozy Creek Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Was pleasantly surprised by this gem of a place! Loved our stay there and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling or wanting to stay for an extended time!! We will definitely be back anytime we are in the area!"

Laurel Ridge Country Club

8/10 Good

"The room was too dark...need more lighting. Other than that our stay was good."
