Top Nantahala National Forest Hotel Reviews

Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast

8/10 Good

"This is a late-1800s property in a convenient in-town location. Some deferred maintenance was seen, but it was very serviceable. Rooms were clean & good sized, but our bathroom shower was TINY. Lots of public areas to relax & enjoy the views. Owner was very helpful with recommendations for area restaurants & things to see/do. Breakfast was great, with a good mix of hot & cold items. Owner even insisted on giving us a "to-go bag" as we were leaving before breakfast started."

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"If you are a business traveler, or you are someone that doesn’t care about having a lot of amenities this place will be perfect for you. This place has budget rooms that have one single queen bed, and none of your standard amenities like a microwave or a refrigerator or anything like that but the price is very good. It’s always been very clean. I’ve had no issues. The beds are comfortable and it’s overall fantastic for the money. And just to reiterate, as long as you don’t care about having a lot of fancy amenities, this place is absolutely great for a quick stay. The parking lot is very well lit and has plenty of space. You’re also located very close to gas stations restaurants grocery stores, all sorts of place within quick walking distance."

Sky Ridge Yurts

10/10 Excellent

"This was the first time staying in a yurt. It was beautiful and had everything you would need. Communication with sky ridge was great they are great."

Mountain Serenity & Close to Hiking, Rafting, Fishing and Kayaking. "Wolf Song"

10/10 Excellent

"Cabin is very small but all you need to be comfortable. The other two cabins were unoccupied so we felt like we were on the mountain alone. Total darkness at night. Zero light pollution. Very relaxing weekend. A huge thank you to Kent,our host. There was a black towel in the bathroom with makeup embroidered on it. I have stayed in quite a few rentals and 10 out of 10 all have had practically brand new white towels in the bathroom which was a little stressful. So thank you Kent!"

This Is It!! Creekside Cabin with Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Starlink High Speed WiFi!!

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cabin! Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. The cabin was beautiful, cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.Our favorite part was the creek — it was absolutely amazing! The sound of the water, the beautiful surroundings, and the peaceful atmosphere made the whole experience even more special. It was the perfect place to disconnect, relax, and enjoy nature.We truly loved our stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful escape surrounded by nature!"

RIVERFRONT Cabin on Nantahala River, Minutes from NOC

10/10 Excellent

"Great cabin, beautiful views of the river and mountains."

Great Creekside Hideaway Rustic Cabin - Secluded, Creekside Family Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Only issue we had was the phone service doesn't actually work. We bought a new land line phone for it, its not the phone. There is some kind of line interference but when someone talks to you it just makes a muffled growling sound and they cant hear you either.Please have the phone service checked out. Outside of that though, this is without a doubt a dream stay if you are wanting to unplug and enjoy a fresh mountain stream and some coffee on the porch!"

Riverside Retreat - Luxury river house with 7 person hottub

10/10 Excellent

"Place was wonderful! We did have maximum number of people for the stay and linens were very limited but otherwise everything was great!! Would def stay there again! Views were fantastic and having access to the river was a blast!"
