The guest next door! At not fault of the motel he was very aggressive over our two children being excited and playing in the room. The incident happened between 3:00 pm and 5:30 pm when we left. I did do everything I could to keep them calm and didn’t feel that the noise level would disturb anyone. He felt otherwise! The motel staff defused the situation and was very professional! We will definitely return

My favorite part was the quaint appearance! Do not change a thing

This place had charming details like old doors for headboards, an area rug and even a duck on the bat tub. The kitchen wad fully equipped to cook. The owners were just a text away and very responsive. The room was quiet w black out curtains so ypu could sleep in. Lights all over the yard made it look like a garden party. Cute planters w flowers and goats on the hill. This was a solo trip w my dog. I felt totally safe and secure. Well cared for. Do not miss a chance to stay here

The mattresses seemed new, but they were a bit firm for my taste. But, I understand it would be very difficult to please everyone as sleeping comfort is in the eye of the beholder.

We loved the Cardinal Inn and would stay again. Online check-in was a breeze and the rooms were clean and welcoming when we arrived. They have a beautiful gathering area outside with a fire pit and lots of comfortable seating.

There is no con staying here, it’s amazing!!

I love this little piece of heaven! There’s only a few rooms so it never felt crowded. The rooms are super clean. The shower is huge and a walk in, you normally don’t get that in a small motel. There’s an amazing outdoor space under some beautiful shade trees with picnic tables, hammocks and a fire ring. The view of the mountains just outside your door is incredible!! The owners are so friendly and welcoming, and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is peaceful and comfortable. I highly, highly recommend!!

This is a small motel with only a few rooms. The location is great and is very quiet.

The location was beautiful. They have a nice little yard with tables, chairs, and a fire pit. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. It’s right off the main road in Maggie Valley, but I didn’t notice any road noise in the room. We had our two dogs with us, so we appreciated the yard and dog-friendly accommodations. We’ll definitely stay here again.

The heater was a little noisy

I loved everything about this place. I did my research before booking and chose this location based on the reviews. They were not wrong. This place is nice. Super clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, nice decor and the best water pressure of any place I've ever stayed. The little extras make this place a gem. Engraved cups for you to purchase.. The Christmas decor was perfect. Loved the night light bubble ornament. Abundant supply of pillows. The location is close to shopping and eating establishments. Walking distance to most. I will be back.
