"Great stay"

10/10 Excellent

"reasonably priced and very clean"

Balsam Mountain Inn

8/10 Good

"The Inn is a beautiful piece if history."

Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"A nice property in a good position. It was clean and staff helpful. It has aged though and the carpet, small bathroom, decor and unusual smells upon entering the room felt dated. The gym was underwhelming with some of the equipment not working. The breakfast bar needed a much broader selection of food and additional staff to support the one lady working there. Maintenance work on the property seemed to a good standard in general and was noticeable, it just needs a facelift to shine."

Cherokee Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was nice except the bed and pillows. Bed was not comfortable and pillows need upgraded. Everything else was great!"

Jonathan Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It had a very nice little deck area down by the river"

Newfound Lodge on the river

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. The carpet was new. The view of the river was excellent. Had a few issues but the staff quickly corrected them. We plan to stay here in the future"
