We loved the fire pit. It was so nice sitting around it at night and talking with other guests. The owner was very informative about the area and shared stories around the fire. Will definitely be back!

Motel and the rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. Met the property owner and she was very nice and told us to call her if we need anything. Property is on a creek and the sounds were very pleasant. Maggie Valley is a cute town and would visit again and will definitely stay here.

Hidden Gem in Maggie

This is a gem of a old school motel and has been recently renovated. It's nicely equipped with amenities. My only critique is sandpaper like towels and a very stiff mattress. Regardless of these critiques.... I would gladly stay again.

Maggie valley motel

You can tell that a great many updates have been done. Shower needs a grab bar and maybe that it yet to come. For an older motel they have done a nice job. Although listed on Soco rd it is really off the main drag hence there is no noise from traffic. My husband really liked the pillows and asked for info on type. He hopes to hear about a resource but has not heard yet.

Despite the challenges caused by the flood, they were swiftly bringing everything back together. In a time when good customer service is becoming rare, this team went above and beyond to ensure their guests felt valued. Our stay was truly enjoyable. Given a little time, they’ll get it all back to mint condition.

Wonderful gem of a motel/motor lodge

Staying at this motor lodge was a unique and wonderful experience. The owner was a sweetheart and her dog, Bela, entertained me for well over an hour by fetching and taking treats I had packed for her because I had read reviews before I booked the room. The brook that runs the length of the property was just beautiful, as were the remainder of the motel grounds. This was a unique experience. I travel through Maggie Valley about 3 times per year. I promise you I will not stay anywhere else on any of those trips. It was like spending the night in a different era. Such a wonderful stay!

Would give it 15/10 stars if I could!! This place is a HIDDEN GEM! It is an older "motor lodge" that has been fully updated. It is hidden off the beaten path... beautiful and serene. Ms Caroline was a doll and super helpful. The rooms are updated and current. VERY clean and neat. Right in the middle of Maggie Valley so its very convenient. This is my new go-to lodging if I go anywhere near Asheville, Waynesville, Sylva or Bryson City!!!

Unique and wonderful experience

I'm not sure quite what to say about this motor lodge. The moment I drove across the bridge onto the property, I knew I was in for a treat. I have spent many nights out on the road, and I've stayed in some of the finest hotels in the United States. Never have I had such a pleasant experience as at the Heart of the Valley. The owner is just a delightful person. And Bela, the Lab/Sheppard mix, is such a sweet and adorable girl! I brought a bag of treats with me because I had heard about Bela. After I fed her some biscuits, she brought a rock to me and very calmly laid it down at my feet and insisted that I play fetch with her. Despite being an older pup and in poor health, unfortunately, she wanted to play. The next morning when I checked out, Bela recognized me and reacted as if we were lifelong friends who hadn't seen each other in years. So much to discuss about this motor lodge and how wonderful my short stay was. Immaculately clean rooms. Rustic, retro, and beautiful accomodations. Comfortable bed. Wonderful night's sleep. The perfect hostess. Bela the kind and gentle girl she is. I honestly don't remember ever experiencing anything quite like this stay. Thank you for making it such a meaningful and pleasant experience. Best wishes to Bela. I will see all of you on my trip back home.
