Jonathan Creek Inn and Villas

My family and I absolutely loved staying here this past weekend! The room was exceptionally clean, cozy, and also had a fireplace in it. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful with providing recommendations on where to eat and hike around the area. Would love to stay in one of their screened rooms that back into the creek next time!

I gave 5 stars because our stay was pleasant, reasonable, and it was very quiet. The only negative things I have to say is it's a bit outdated, the rug looked like it was filthy and from the 19th century, the water in the shower didn't get hot but it was warm enough to deal with, the bathroom was a little small, the parking lot was sooo tiny and barely accommodates larger trucks (we were in a 2026 GMC Sierra 4x4 and struggled to park at night time) and the bed was a little weak at the foot. I thought I'd broke it when I sat down on it, but the frame was just stretched to the max. However we would stay here again, no doubt. The creek was nice, the grounds were very clean and quiet, and all in all the hotel room itself was super clean. The indoor pool was nice although we didn't use it. There aren't many places to eat after 6pm, so if you want to do dinner, you better grab it early or you'll have to go to a bar and grille or drive about 20 minutes to Cherokee to find food. This town shuts down at 7pm then it's Ramen in the microwave for dinner! But it is nice and worth the stay! Highly recommend! Oh, can't forget the staff at this hotel! They are all so friendly and accommodating! It is also surrounded by beautiful mountains!

First thing I care about when staying somewhere is the mattress. This one was a nine the bathroom also gets a nine. The handheld shower was a huge plus that I love you don’t find in most places also also great set up the toilet and shower are in a separate room from the sink and vanity makes it great for a couple one can take a shower while the other shaves or does makeup really neat. I stayed in a room with a porch on the creek. The interesting thing about your porch is it’s totally private walls between you and your neighbor. Highly suggest you pony up for this option. Of course the sound of the creek is wonderful. The set up outside on the creek is wonderful. Just check out other reviews and pictures. You will see. Also you can walk right across the street to one of the best breakfast places you’ll ever eat at called Joey’s. Note: no pets

First time staying here. Lovely place. Only reason I gave rooms a 4 star is because our room had no real sunlight coming through. No fault of the place though. Landscaping was so lovely. Staff was super nice and the sounds from the creek were super nice. Close proximity to lots of places. You get the chance to meet your neighbors which was a plus. We'd definitely come back.

We had an amazin stay here! Rooms are nice and clean and we loved swingin by the creek. The employees were super friendly and welcoming and we really appreciated it! Will for sure be our go to spot next time we're in Maggie Valley!

Great off the beaten path hotel. Friendly folks. Rooms are spacious. The beds are big and comfortable. Good set of ammenities. The showers are roomy and have glass doors. Quiet even for being just off the main highway. Worth a stay if you want to get away from the chain hotels.

I wanted to write this review when I stayed at the hotel, but life got in the way. I stayed in November 2025. I drove along way to spend Thanksgiving in North Carolina. The room was cozy, clean, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The staff were all polite and helpful. I wished that I could stay longer than two days...I will definitely be back...

Upon checking in your room, it's tough at first to pinpoint why this is such a highly rated place, but the longer you stay there the more it makes sense. The outdoor area behind everyone's rooms is really cool and beautiful. Having the back porch screened in is nice too for All seasons. When we needed some help with something. The lady working there at check-in was very friendly and helpful. And even though it's an older place, the rooms have very comfortable beds and high quality amenities. We would definitely stay there again
