Our stay was excellent. The accommodations were clean and well-maintained. We were no more than 10 minutes from any attraction in the Cherokee area. When we returned to the Inn, it was peaceful, and we enjoyed incredible mountain views. We will be staying there again on our future vacations to Cherokee.

The lobby, outdoor areas and neighborhood have a distinctly local flavor, reflecting the unique character of the Cherokee / western North Carolina area. The room and pool / patio area were spacious and well-furnished, considering the reasonable price. I'll be back.
