Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

8/10 Good
"Loved the location which is one block from main shopping area. Staff was super helpful and attentive. We stayed in a king balcony room and pls note that they are very small rooms. I usually compare room sizes but their website did not list SQ footage. . Our first room had a very bad cat smell and we asked immediately to move to another room. Graciously, the mgr gave us another room and it smelled better but it still had a faint cat smell. Later in our 3 night stay we overheard another guest complaining about the same. Apparently cats were once allowed but no longer. We also had a difficult time finding a charger in the town and were told most travel 30 min to charge. The cooler weather trumped all these issues and we actually extended our stay by a day"

10/10 Excellent
"The young lady at the front desk was amazing. Offered to let me park my motorcycle under the front awning so it would be in the shade. This was our first time staying in Cherokee, usually stay around Townsend or Tellico Plains Tennessee but we will 100% be back next time we travel down that way. Nice quiet location away from the main strip, but close enough that we could walk to a few places."

Balsam Mountain Inn

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!"
