"Title: Perfect Stay at Fairfield Inn Suites by Marriott Cherokee! Review: My son and I had the pleasure of staying at the Fairfield Inn Suites by Marriott in Cherokee this past Saturday night, and it was an absolute delight.

"Would give 4 1/2 overall rating if could! Tiny house was clean, comfortable and great location right on the river. Kitchen well stocked with glasses, dishes, stove, fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Easy check in and check out and communication with owner easy. Only complaint was the water in shower and kitchen sink smelled of sulfur. Continued smelling even after running for 5 minutes so basically avoided showering. Amazing stay overall!"

"The Inn was very quaint and homey. Toni was very welcoming and the food was excellent! Our room was decorated very authentic, however, the room and the attached bath were very small. Loved the location as it was very quiet and had many spots to sit and enjoy nature, including the rooster, and it's just a few minutes from town. I highly recommend the Folkestone Inn."

Maggie Valley Cabin off the Blue Ridge Pkwy.
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (31)
"If you looked up “cozy” in the dictionary, you’d see a picture of this cabin. It’s perfect for one or two people looking to run away from the world for a couple of days. What you miss in the amenities of a hotel, you make up for in privacy and natural beauty. There are cabins on either side of you but your front yard and back yard are wooded mountainsides. We were there in July while the trees were green and I bet it’s even more beautiful in the fall. The cabin was spotless and well-maintained....
