Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

Laurel Ridge Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"Needed a place that I could get a motorcycle trailer in. Figured a golf course should have plenty of parking and I was right. Everyone was cool, and we had a great couple days motorcycling in Western NC. Made me kinda miss playing golf though! Food wasn't spectacular, but the restaurant was convenient after a long day of riding and not wanting to unhitch the truck to go into town."

Comfort Inn near Great Smoky Mountain National Park

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay,"

Grandview Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Service was great and welcoming,"

Five Star Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying here. Last time I stayed on the creek, this time I saved some money testing out the street side units. The creekside is very calming, with the creek providing the only sounds. The street side was less noisy than I expected. The units are well insulated and you can hear cars if you really listen for them but its not a problem. Anyhow Sally and the gang are very friendly and helpful and accommodate anything you need - she even held a creekside room for me so I could decide when I arrived. My daughter lives in Waynesville with her newborn so I'll be back. There is a coffee place, a bakery, and several restaurants within walking distance, so its very convenient if you don't have a car."

Cozy Creek Cottages
