If you want to do Cherokee, this property is right in the middle of things. We flyfished, went to Great Smokey Mountain National park, saw the Elk, ( in fact, one morning two elk walked right down the street in front of the hotel and crossed the Oconaluftee bridge), shopped, dined, etc. Make sure you book non-smoking if you don’t smoke.

Check in pleasant. Room clean. However power went off overnight. There was no heat half of night, and could not shower in dark before leaving. Checked out at 9:50 when leaving power came on. When checking out I asked if since power had went out would we at least receive a discount. No apologies adv all power had went out around and was not their fault. I do understand but would have thought more apologetic and would get a little discount. It also was not my fault power went out. I paid for room with heat and shower.

Power was off in the area this am. Made for an inconvenient departure. Shower in the dark with cold water. No answer at the office when called. No internet and the list goes on and on.
