Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

Smoky Falls Lodge

8/10 Good

"Very nice facility with clean rooms and a great bar/grill/pub attached. One drawback was it was quite noisy with multiple guests having multiple dogs. You could hear the running and playing in the room above us which is kind of expected in a facility of this age with wooden floors. This will not keep us from staying here again on our next visit to Maggie Valley."

Quaint cabin with privacy and views

8/10 Good

"The views were spectacular. Jarrod was very responsive to our requests. The drive up to the property is very difficult. We did not know about this until we received the information about check in. It necessitated changing our rental car to get a 4 wheel-drive. We strongly recommend a 4 wheel-drive vehicle as the road up is extremely steep and parts are gravel."
