Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Hotel & Casino – A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"All the staff members were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean. Linens were very clean including towels. However, the pillows were terribly uncomfortable. They were super hard and lumpy. The bathroom tiles on the walls need more attention to remove the mildew. Other than that, you can have a quiet night’s sleep."

Days Inn by Wyndham Murphy

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay."

" Nottely River Retreat"

10/10 Excellent

"This place was heaven on earth. We wanted to escape the noise and light pollution and this was the perfect place. The cleanliness was top notch and that says a lot coming from this ex OCD professional cleaner. The river and wildlife added to the relaxation. Bob was very quick and responsive from start to finish. Although there were plenty of restaurants, we didn't eat out a single time. We cooked all, meals at the house and enjoyed the chance to reset. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The deer and bird food was a great added extra. We will definitely be back. I cant say enough good things about this rental."

Mountain View/Jacuzzi/ Fire pit/ Close to Downtown. Pet Friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"This cabin was everything we imagined if not more! Everything you could want was there at our fingertips. The furniture was well kept and very comfortable. The views are exactly like the pics, JUST WOW!!!! The owners communicated very well and quick. I do have to say being old people that a little fear came upon us with the steep roads and thought a 4 wheel drive was needed. We survived. Suggestion: a few steps leading to the wonderful jacuzzi. After one visit we forfeited use afraid we could slip but it sure was nice!"

Waterfront cabin in the mountains. Peaceful, relaxing setting.

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean beds very comfortable very close to river. You can watch and hear the river from front porch,balcony or set on deck by the rivers edge. Hot tub is very nice to enjoy also.
