Top Blue Ridge Parkway Balsam Entrance Hotel Reviews

Smoky Falls Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"It’s an older property with a lot of character and remodeled sometime in the last few years. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, if a little plain. Sometime during our second day the hot water in the bathroom sink stopped working but the shower was fine. The grounds were a perfect fall setting. The one thing I would recommend is that the owners add some waste disposal cans to the areas where dogs are allowed so you don’t have to look for a dumpster or put waste in a regular trash can near guest rooms. We would definitely visit again."

Grandview Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We stopped here for the night while traveling, what a charming place! Older house with lots of character, a cozy fireplace in the room, and a hot breakfast the next morning. Super helpful hosts and a great experience!"

Quaint cabin with privacy and views

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was fantastic - the porch, the view, the setting. Check-in was easy and communication with host was excellent. The driveway was a a bit difficult without 4 wwheel drive on wet road, but was accessible fairly easily when dry. Well worth the effort! The wood-burning fireplace was an extra bonus."
