"Beautiful place with beautiful scenery. Everything was tidy on arrival. Loved how close we were to everything. The staff were great and helpful. Enjoyed the cute little touches. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Two small things were the faucets in the bathroom were hard for the kids to turn off and some maintenance on the building on our last day surprised us with men on the outside of the balcony 😅"

"Amazing views, clean and comfortable. Lobby has beer/wine and lots of drinks/snacks. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Pool area is small but very clean and warm with a hottub. There is a sauna and another hottub in a separate area(most guests dont know about and is less crowded). On weekends/busy days, you do have to park at far away parking lots but they have a shuttle that goes back and forth 7am-11pm. Loved our stay and will be going back!"

Smoketree Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely older but very clean and great amenities, ~5-10 minutes away from Sugar Mtn so great location as well. We had to check in after hours and they were very accommodating with that. "

Bluegreen Vacations Blue Ridge Village, an Ascend Collection Resort

10/10 Excellent

"As always this place was fantastic. We try to stay there anytime we are up there visiting our son at App State. Clean rooms, great customer service and the price is better than staying at a hotel for what you are getting. Like home away from home. Our youngest son really enjoys the fishing pond."

The Mast Farm Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Sweet historic house in the heart of Valle Crucis, great communication and easy self check-in. Check website for "extras" like weekend food options and fun things across the street, enjoyed the pm music and nordic sauna! Great front porch with a view, lovely tubs in rooms, lots of personality! Definitely read details on room location if guests with mobility issues but lovely! "
