Cherokee Grand Hotel
We had to quickly move to the hotel because of the blizzard coming in and the staff was very accommodating. I booked 2 separate rooms and we were very pleased with all the facilities. They do offer a simple continental breakfast with bagels and such witch was fine with us.

Riverfront Cabin, Mountain Views, Fishing, and Hiking!
The host was most receptive and quick to answer all the questions I had. The cabin is right on the river with the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad track straight across. It's peaceful and scenic. The cabin is small and warm. I felt welcomed and hope to visit again!
