Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

Grandview Lodge

8/10 Good

"We were very pleased with our stay with Grand view B&B. The only thing I can think of was the cake of soap needed to be a little bigger. She was very committed to our needs.We would stay there again. Her and her brother were very attentive."

Quality Inn & Suites Maggie Valley - Cherokee Area

10/10 Excellent

"Clean center of Maggie Valley. Did not use breakfast. Motorcycle friendly."

Five Star Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It was an old school pull up to your door place. It had vintage tile in the bathroom, an electric wall heater and window a/c. Everything was clean and functioned well. There were rocking chairs outside your door and 2 fire pits with rocking chairs and a gazebo with benches out front. On the back side was a lovely creek with overlooking benches and a deck with grills and chairs overlooking the creek. Management was extremely friendly and helpful. They do not enter occupied rooms. You place your used towels etc outside denim the rocking chairs and they replace with clean ones. We put our out when we left for breakfast and they were replaced by the time we got back. The motel is also very conveniently located. They do have a few rooms in the back overlooking the creek as well. We will definitely stay again."
