Top Cullowhee Hotel Reviews

Jonathan Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It had a very nice little deck area down by the river"

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderfully helpful and sweet staff"

Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino

8/10 Good

"If you stay in one of the cabins stay in cabins 1 though 7 or 8 to avoid the car wash disco light show on the other side of the river. The car wash turns the lights on around 6pm and turns them off at 6am. It's like having a police car parked outside your window with the lights flashing all night. Thankfully were able to move cabins after the first night. Also consider booking through the motel itself to pick the right cabin."
