We stayed here on Friday of the 4th of July weekend. Maggie May, the resident golden retriever, greeted us. Our accommodations were very clean, well-kept, & comfortable. The furnishings look like the way I remember my grandmother’s house 45 years ago. Quaint and “homey”, but not shabby. Our bed was comfortable and the room was very quiet. The best part was enjoying a delicious breakfast on the outdoor patio surrounded by songbirds, blooming rhododendron, green ferns, and many summer flowers. This place is pet-friendly so we also had our dog with us on the outdoor patio, which I really appreciated. The host/managers were warm, friendly, & helpful. Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable, reasonably-priced stay before we resumed our drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway in beautiful North Carolina. Yes, we would definitely stay here again!
Reviews
Comfortable, Inexpensive and Homey
This past weekend was our third stay. The location is great-just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Linville Falls and other beautiful places. If you want fancy, go somewhere else. This place is less expensive than other motels in the area. It’s a Mom&Pop, no-frills kind of place but it’s clean and comfortable. The owners are friendly and very hospitable. We will be back again when we need a getaway and don’t want to spend a lot.
Clean and Friendly
It’s right off the Parkway and easy to find. The room price + dog add on was what the web page advertised. No surprises. The room was very clean and had a warm homey feel. There is a mountain charm there. The owners were very helpful with directions to attractions and local restaurants. The owner took time to tell us the best viewing for Brown Mountain. We did see the Brown Mountain lights! Thanks You! You did us right! We plan to make another trip up and will stay here again.
Rare Find: Cabin in the Woods
My husband and I stumbled on this two bedroom cabin. Two patios. I enjoyed drinking my wine looking out at the rhododendrons. The decor is early American Pine and I only hope people look after it. It is very tastefully done.
The beds and pillows were super comfortable. Just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, we could leave the windows open. TV gets all channels. In the woods, yet we walked to town very quickly to the restaurant with homecooking. Then across to the other restaurant for dessert. Best of all was the hot tub for my husband and me.
A Wonderful Stay
I have been coming to Parkview Lodge since 1995. I missed only five years but that means I’ve been here sixteen times over the past 21 vacations. Why do I return? Is it the proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway? Is it the proximity to Wiseman’s View to hunt for the Brown Mountain Lights? Well, in part, yes. But I could still stay anywhere nearby. Yet, I continue to return to the Parkview. The owners have a nice place to stay and they are two of the most welcoming people you’ll ever meet.
