Riverfront Cabin, Mountain Views, Fishing, and Hiking!
The host was most receptive and quick to answer all the questions I had. The cabin is right on the river with the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad track straight across. It's peaceful and scenic. The cabin is small and warm. I felt welcomed and hope to visit again!

Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites
Everything about this place was great. Rooms are big, breakfast is top notch. Right on the river, very relaxing. The only thing I could say as a negative is the hot tub was not hot for half my stay. But the place is great and I will stay here again!

Cherokee Grand Hotel
The room was great. It was clean and modern. The continental breakfast did not have a lot of options, but it was nice not to have to pay extra for breakfast. If I had stayed at the Casino hotel, breakfast would not have been included.
