Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"Great room."

Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with a patio. Adjacent to a wonderful restaurant. Front desk was kind and helpful. I wish that I could have stayed longer"

Cherokee Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, simple, helpful staff, everything as advertised. That’s what I want. That’s what I got."

Jonathan Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

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

Cozy Mountain Chalet with views, private setting! Near WCU and Castle Ladyhawke

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful place! The home was immaculate and the views were spectacular! The host thought of everything- from phone chargers to tooth paste, if something was forgotten at home, they had you covered. The host was very communicative and responded to questions quickly. A wonderful place to relax and unwind, yet close enough to shopping, etc."

Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino

8/10 Good

"If you stay in one of the cabins stay in cabins 1 though 7 or 8 to avoid the car wash disco light show on the other side of the river. The car wash turns the lights on around 6pm and turns them off at 6am. It's like having a police car parked outside your window with the lights flashing all night. Thankfully were able to move cabins after the first night. Also consider booking through the motel itself to pick the right cabin."

Dillard House

8/10 Good

"Good stay."

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"

The Terrace at Lake Junaluska

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our first stay at the Terrace Hotel. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The fantastic seating areas that overlook the lake are excellent for peaceful morning coffee and meditation. This puts it a step above a normal hotel."
