10/10 Excellent

"Great, beautiful, relaxation place to stay"

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

8/10 Good

"Budget priced. Glad that they do not use heavily perfumed cleaning products which set off my allergies. Will stay there again."

Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

8/10 Good

"There was hair in the toilet and two spiders in the room, which suggested that the cleaning staff could have been more careful. Even so, I enjoyed my stay and would stay at this hotel again."

"Price was good"

Balsam Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The inn is absolutely beautiful. Loved the huge front porch with the resident yellow cat, the game/puzzle room, and all the antiques in the hallways. The breakfast that was included was delicious and the dining area is beautiful as well. I was surprised how cool the inn stayed without any air conditioning. The ceiling fan and open windows kept us comfortable all night, even on the 2nd floor in August! The only downside was the mattress in our room - it was extremely firm with not much padding. My daughter is a junior at WCU and I've stayed at several hotels in the area, but this was by far my favorite. I'll definitely be back!"
