Hampton Inn & Suites Lenoir

10/10 Excellent

"All was terrific. Employees were very helpful."

Sleep Inn Morganton Southeast

8/10 Good

"Needs a better breakfast buffet. Front desk staff were OK but seemed like they didn't want to be there."

Super 8 by Wyndham Morganton

"Clean spacious rooms Great service from reception crew to housekeeping crew"

Private STUNNING MTN VIEWS LogCabin Jetted Tub EV Charger WIFI 15 min-Lake James

10/10 Excellent

"An absolute 5-star mountain getaway! The views are unmatched and the home is beautifully stocked, clean, and superbly maintained. Our multi-generational group (ages 7 to 85) had an incredible time. It’s wonderfully accommodating for neurodivergent guests (ADD/autism), offering cozy nook opportunities for quiet privacy without feeling isolated.The outdoor spaces are fantastic, with an all- weather porch picnic area, a pavilion with a grill, and a safe, easy-to-use fire pit with firewood provided. Working with the host was seamlessly fast.We stayed the weekend before my son and daughter-in-law's wedding, and it was the perfect peaceful space to prepare ourselves and calm any pre-event nerves. We decided we had to come back for another stay just minutes after arriving. I highly recommend it!When reserving I kept thinking that the reviews had to be too good to be true. It lived up to all the reviews and surpassed my expectations."
