Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

Smoky Falls Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice overnight stay! Thank You"

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."

Balsam Mountain Inn

8/10 Good

"The Inn is a beautiful piece if history."

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."
