Newfound Lodge on the river

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the view!!! So quiet & peaceful. Clean beds, and area. Perfect place to stay with my son on a mini vacation. Will be back."

Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"We needed a couple of days away from home, and Harrah's sounded like the right choice. And that it was. Only a 2-hour drive through beautiful mountains and forests, the sprawling landscape of Harrah's was its own marvel. The first day/evening we were there, we walked miles to familiarize ourselves with the locations of the casino, restaurants, shops, bowling and other games, spas and other stuff. We ate at Guy Fieri's restaurant and were served the delicious meal we were hoping to score. Our accomodations were very comfortable. We slept well on the comfy mattress and pillows, the spacious bathroom was well outfitted, we had a great breakfast at the Selu Cafe, and after losing for a while at the Casino, we decided to find the pools. It was a beautiful day, so after we walked the river walk, we opted for the outdoor pool, which was maybe 5 ft. deep. But it was hot, the water felt great and we were able to bask in the sun. We even had a poolside cocktail before we left the area. In the evening, we had another fine dinner at the Soco Smokehouse, did a little more gambling, watched a little tv and went to bed. The only negatives we can site were the elevator hallways, where a little trash was accumulating on the floor and in the elevators, and it was still there the next day. We also felt that the check-in process seemed lengthy, but we arrived at a busy time. We left the next morning, very satisfied with our mini vacay and feeling like we'd really been away."

Rolling Hills Lodge

8/10 Good

"Our room was small and had very little room to move around. There were 5 puffy throw pillow on our bed along with 3 bed pillows. I hate extra pillows as the covers are often dusty and dirtly and not needed in a room so small. Recepticles were difficult to find and there were no ports for electronic charging. The best part was the large covered porch/patio area where we ate a home cooked tortilla breakfast sandwich with fresh fruit and a small pastry. We very much enjoyed sitting and watching the birds and wildlife."
