Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

Jonathan Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Coffee and tea were provided in the mornings from 8-10, it would have been nice to have it longer or throughout the day. I was usually up well before 8 and it would have been nice to sit outside with my coffee. The best feature is the outside decks with a porch swing, glider and chairs for just watching and listening to the creek. We hope to stay there again."

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."

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."
