The Smoky Mountains of North Carolina offer a range of places to stay to fit whatever adventure you’re planning. Secluded retreats invite you to “get away from it all,” while small towns and country inns welcome you to step into the feeling of a simpler time. No matter where you choose to rest your head, outdoor recreation and local culture are never far away.

Bed-and-breakfasts and inns extend warm hospitality (and a warm meal!) in picturesque and historic settings. Choose a mountain cottage or cabin rental to enjoy all the comforts of home amid the stunning views and rustic natural beauty of the Smokies.

Book a room at one of several favorite national brand hotels, or enjoy comfortable accommodations at a locally owned motel in a charming small town. Luxury resorts redefine the concept of a mountain getaway with high-end amenities including spas, golf courses, swimming pools, private hiking trails and live entertainment.

Or enjoy a night under the stars in your tent or RV at a family-friendly mountain campground.
