Cherokee, North Carolina Hotel Rooms at the Independent

We only stayed one night but, it was very enjoyable being able to sit on the balcony and look out at the river and the room was decorated very nice it all matched.The lady at the front desk was very sweet and helpful. My all around experience at the river edge was excellent. I will definitely be taking my family there again.

It was a very pleasant stay. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were nice and clean. The beds were comfortable, the shower pressure was good. We had a balcony with a good view of the mountains. It's in a very convenient location close to a lot of food places and shops. We stayed here after skiing at Cataloochee and it was pretty close to the slopes. It's a great hotel for college kids on a budget!!

Weekend getaway to see the snow in Cherokee ...loved the jacuzzi tub after playing in the snow...and the room was huge!

The hotel was very clean and the employees where very friendly and helpful. I will be staying there again

Check in was absolutely the smoothest and friendliest I have ever encountered. Sadly I was remiss in getting the two Front Desk Ladies that worked for me there. I walked in, announced I had a room reserved and within a couple minutes I was walking in to my room. That was the first check in. I wound up staying in the area a extra day and went back to the Inn to see about getting another room. I called them from about 5 minutes away and by the time I got there the 2nd Desk Clerk was just as nice and pleasant and courteous as the first and again within a couple minutes I was walking into another clean comfortable room. I have spent hundreds of nights in Motels, Hotels, Cabins and other similar temporary lodging. Hands down and without question, this was the best experience I have ever had. Bar None. 5 Star all the way for me. Aside from the amenities that so called 5 star Hotels offer, they are not one bit better than this Inn. Next time I plan a trip to Cherokee N.C. I will stay there.......

From the time I stepped in the door to the checkout, the staff were great. These guys and gals are on top of their game. Good for you. Thanks for a wonderful weekend.

Another great time at Fontana Village! Very remote resort in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, great food, great accomodations in the lodge and fun activities!

Our family stayed in the Bear cabin (May 2010) and had a great time. 2 bedrooms and sleeper sofa accomodated the five of us nicely. We felt welcomed, staff was very helpful, room was clean and the grounds - including hot tubs, campfire pit and badminton area - were clean and well maintained. We rafted the Nantahala River with USA Rafts and loved it. We loved it!

The room was nothing fancy but very clean and quiet. This is actually a Christian retreat facility. The scenery was incredible. We enjoyed a very nice, almost 3 mile walk around the lake.

Hotel was in a great location and was clean. However, it reminded me of motels that my family stayed in when I was a child, 45 years ago. I would think twice about staying here again. For the money, I expected something more modern.
