Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

Jonathan Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We would like to keep Jonathan Creek Inn our little secret but the owners and, most certainly, the staff deserve a shout out. Thank you and we will be back."

Comfort Inn near Great Smoky Mountain National Park

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay,"

Grandview Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Service was great and welcoming,"

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."
