Top Smokey Mountain Gold & Ruby Mine Hotel Reviews

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and easy place to stop. If you’re there for the casino it is right across the street. The Rivian EV charger is less than a mile down 441. Easy access to the park and Cherokee as a whole. Nice room no complaints at all. Breakfast could use some hot bacon or sausage but that’s about it."

Cabins In The Pines Unit 3-Motorcycle Friendly-Wood Fireplace - Covered Porch

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time and loved the place. We will be renting from you again and again. Already planing another trip. We loved the porches and the location. There is a resident that lives above this cabin that drives this road way to fast which makes me wary of bringing my dogs. This is not your fault but someone e needs to talk to them before someone gets hurt."
