We loved the screened in porch facing Jonathan Creek along with the outdoor seating areas on the creek. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We will stay there again.

Small, but clean room and small bathroom, but adequate. The screen porch facing the creek was not what I envisioned..it was also small. The only bad thing about this motel is that there is no breakfast, only coffee..not even a donut, and the nearest fast food is 20 minutes away. There are things like a pancake place, etc. but if you want to let the kids sleep while you pop out to get an egg McMuffin, forget it. Most places costing this much have at least a simple muffin & fruit tray. So if you want to eat quick & early, forget it..you have to shower, pack up and head out. The creek is lovely though.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. The screen porches are wonderful and the area out back by the creek with rhododendron bushes and tall trees is magical... We'll be back. Thank you!

Unusual to find a place like it that actually shows they really care about the customers staying there. Super location on a creek with Awsome facilities. Staff was unbelievable as well. You have to check this place out. If you stop in there, make sure to check out Joey’s across the street, If it were possible to do 10 stars instead of 5 I definitely would.

If you are looking for a relaxing and quiet stay in Maggie Valley this is your place. Have stayed here many times and it has always been a great experience. The creek is beautiful and so peaceful. Just a great place to unwind and reset!

It was a nice place overall but there were bugs in our bed and other places in the room. Whatever those bugs were have our bodies covered in very itchy bumps and sores. I killed one and took it to the attendant and he cldnt identify it either but it made for a VERY unpleasant stay!! There were spiders and webs everywhere, roaches and other identified bugs in the room. Do NOT sit in the recliner cos that’s where the bugs started biting me!! If all of that weren’t bad enough our neighbor sounded like they were bench pressing a sofa. NEVER AGAIN!! I have photos and videos to support my claims but no way to attach them to this review.

Hi Wanda, thank you for staying with us and we are terribly sorry that your experience was less than ideal. It is significant to mention you were on the last night of a three-night stay before there was any mention of any sort of issue with the room. The Great Smoky Mountains, although beautiful, are filled with all sorts of insects that will catch a ride home on your pants leg without you ever noticing. And though the desk clerk was not able to identify the insect, both you and the clerk agreed on what it was not. When given the option to check-out or move to a different room, you choose the later and your stay was generously discounted for the inconvenience. Again we thank you for being our guest and hope you have a beautiful spring.

I thought I was getting a great room with a creek in the back yard. I had the room located closest to the highway. Cigarette containers located in front of every outside door that I had to walk by to get to my room. Duck tape on a tile on the floor holding it together I think. A cracked sink. Room very dark and the bathroom toilet area so small it didn’t even seem safe to me to be in there.

Stayed here for a while since my boyfriend and I were snowboarding nearby and it was in such a convenient location. Also, the creek behind this inn was so nice. They had many seating options and a gazebo if you wanted to relax outside with fairy lights at night. Would definitely stay again; it was cozy, comfortable and great.

Check in and check out was very easy. Lady at the desk was very nice and friendly. The location was perfect for our ski trip. You can definitely tell owners took their time to make the place very memorable. Pancake restaurant across from the villa was so convenient. I will definitely stay there for our skip trip.

I had made a reservation months in advance. Come the weekend of the reservation the weather was bad. Snow negative temperatures. Not safe to drive through the pass. I called to see about a refund. No help. Tried to reschedule. Nope.. can’t do that. So at the end of the day that got my money for nothing.. I won’t ever book with Johnathan’s inn again. This would have been out fifth time staying there. Never again. Ever.

Hey Michael, thanks for reaching out to us. Road conditions were passable as we had guests driving in from all surrounding states with no issues. Had road conditions not been drivable we would have had to cancel all reservations and shut down as we would not have been able to get our own staff to work. The reservation was made months in advance meaning you held that room for months when it could have been rented to someone else, this is why most all hotels have a cancellation policy and a penalty for cancelling after the deadline. We hope you have a great year.

Super pleasant staff. Very nice location. You can tell that it’s older but well maintained. Very clean. Very nice resting area out back. Right on the creek. It’s not a luxurious resort, but it’s perfect! We will definitely be back!!

Always a great time....
We always enjoy our stay here. So convenient to all the things we love to see and do. And for couples who like to just get away you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner plus waterfalls and hiking all within less then five minutes. The greatest breakfast across the street and a brewery with great food options right next door. We already have our next stay planned.

Everyone was so nice. They gave us great recommendations for restaurants. We ate at Joey’s Pancake House across the street and Bearwater Brewery next door. They also recommend J Arthur’s. So the staff were very helpful. But the BEST Part of our stay was hot tub in our room. Such a nice relaxing stay.
