Top River Ridge Hotel Reviews

Balsam Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful, well kept, and everyone was very kind and helpful. Loved the simplicity of it and the beautiful view on the porch. We will definitely be going back.. oh also the breakfast was 10/10. Loved all around. Excellent place."

Clarion Pointe Sylva near Cherokee Area

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time we’ve stayed at this location. We pick it because of the pool. In the summer time it heats up with the sun beats down on it. Room was clean. Staff was very nice. Breakfast is good. Tuesday and Wednesday was scrambled eggs and sausage links, Thursday morning was biscuits and gravy. I would definitely stay here again."

The Terrace at Lake Junaluska

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at the Terrace many times for many years. It's always an enjoyable stay. One thing that is consistent over the years is the Internet is terrible. With an access point in our room the Internet was less than 10mb. In 2026 that's terrible. Other than than that the Terrace is a nice place to stay. The view of the lake is wonderful. That is why we return."

Clarion Hotel Conference Center Maggie Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Property is worn and dated, a remodel is sorely needed. However, excellent staff made up for the property’s shortfalls. Breakfast is the usual institutional fare served by everybody else. But again, the staff put their own unique talents to work and improved the flavor, especially the turkey patties which appeared to be fried in some sort of grease. Definitely an improvement over other chains."

Cozy Creek Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved the little cottages, feels like a home away from home… check-in took less than 5 minutes & checkout was a breeze! Full kitchen fully stocked! Thats what i loved the most 100% and a dishwasher, i dont even have a dishwasher at home so I truely was on vacation not having to hand wash dishes nightly…. This is 100% 5/5 stars only thing i would mention is the only tv in the cottage is in the living room; luckily i always bring a tv for my sons xbox so we gave him the living room for xbox (hdmi/gaming friendly) and we took his little tv and put in master bedroom.. other than only 1 tv we absolutely love this place! We will be back! "
