Smokies Accomadation
I need more help from my travel addicted friends - let's face it, you are on this site, so it looks like you are hooked.
I'm taking my husband to the Great Smoky Mountains next May. We are planning to spend a couple days near/around Ashville and Biltmore. Then spend a couple days hiking in the Smokies.
My perfect accomodation would be a secluded cabin in the woods, situated perfectly half way between Ashville and the park.
I have a pretty wide price range, but don't want to go too crazy because we will be there a whole week - maybe around $150 - $250 a night.
I'm also open to B&B or hotels if we found the right one. We don't have kids or pets, so I was hoping to avoid the "family" type places, if you know what I mean.
I've started a search online and with TripAdvisor, but I'm finding the amount of places out there a bit overwhelming.
Does anyone have any favorites or places to start?

We visit that area often & always use www.vrbo.com. You are more likely to find what you want on there, but you do have to look. I like the area just east of Asheville around Black Mt., Montreat & the Swannanoa area. Due to their close promimity to the Parkway. www.blueridgeparkway.org/ www.nps.gov/blri/ Waynesville & Lake Junaluska would be more the area you would be looking. There is a great Inn on Lake Junaluska, not sure about pricing, take a look @ http://www.selectregistry.com/ Enjoy!

Check cabins in the Maggie Valley, N.C., area, there are many.
Hubby and I stayed at River Lodge B&B in Cullowhee, N.C., this fall for our anniversary. It's an hour from Asheville and 90 minutes from Cherokee, N.C. It's a beautiful property and the hosts provide a gourmet breakfast every morning.
http://www.riverlodge-bb.com/ We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Another unique lodging is the Balsam Mountain Inn, an old restored railroad inn. It's kind of rustic and the rooms look great. Hubby and I lunched there but did not stay, however, we were permitted to wander and peek in any room that wasn't occupied. http://balsammountaininn.com/ When we stayed at the River Lodge, a couple was headed to Balsam Mtn. Inn to use as a base for hiking for the remainder of the week.
