What's nearby

  • An incredible motorcycle museum!  I found out about the place after seeing it on various tv shows, American Pickers, Chasing Classic Cars, and Jay Leno's Garage, included.  Once you get inside, you really don't know how you are going to take it all in. It is huge!  All of the motorcycles run and during our visit, the curator was starting and taking random bikes out for a spin. A must see!

Motel and the rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. Met the property owner and she was very nice and told us to call her if we need anything. Property is on a creek and the sounds were very pleasant. Maggie Valley is a cute town and would visit again and will definitely stay here.

Despite the challenges caused by the flood, they were swiftly bringing everything back together. In a time when good customer service is becoming rare, this team went above and beyond to ensure their guests felt valued. Our stay was truly enjoyable. Given a little time, they’ll get it all back to mint condition.

Great place and staff

Where do i begin. This place is A quaint, clean, no frills motel. The staff was absolutely amazing!!!! We loved the creek in front and even though it is in the heart of Maggie Valley, you baredly hear any road noise. The rooms were basic, exceptionally clean, and comfortable. We will definitely be booking this place again!!!!

Hidden Gem in Maggie

This is a gem of a old school motel and has been recently renovated. It's nicely equipped with amenities. My only critique is sandpaper like towels and a very stiff mattress. Regardless of these critiques.... I would gladly stay again.

The lady who owns the motel is so so nice and inviting! There were vacant rooms during our stay, so she let my husband and I upgrade to a room with one king size bed vs 2 queen beds. Every time we saw her she asked if she could do anything for us. They also have their dog at the property (they live on site) and she’s the sweetest, friendliest dog ever!!! The rooms were also very, very nice and cozy. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful gem of a motel/motor lodge

Staying at this motor lodge was a unique and wonderful experience. The owner was a sweetheart and her dog, Bela, entertained me for well over an hour by fetching and taking treats I had packed for her because I had read reviews before I booked the room. The brook that runs the length of the property was just beautiful, as were the remainder of the motel grounds. This was a unique experience. I travel through Maggie Valley about 3 times per year. I promise you I will not stay anywhere else on any of those trips. It was like spending the night in a different era. Such a wonderful stay!

Nice!

I am glad I read the reviews. This is an older motel tucked back in the woods. A creek runs along the front. It’s clean, quiet and safe. And the rooms are updated for modern technology. There’s firewood provided for a fire and a big black lab to play with.
