The hotel is by no means fancy but for $48 a night it was perfect! We had a back porch where could enjoy the beautiful Oconaluftee river right behind our room. There is no wi-fi but they said we could go across the street to use it at a their sister hotel. It was probably a one star in AAA... More

Room outdated. Linens old and very very worn. Shower curtain was stained with mildew, not just a couple stains but the whole bottome of the curtain. Wallpaper peeling off in several places. Room smelled like a wet dirty dog. Something bit my legs in several places during the night. Definately not worth $78/night. I definately would not stay here again..

Love staying at the Newfound Lodge, always stay there when I go to Cherokee, this time was great, just as before when I stayed. My cousin and I stayed Friday night and Saturday night. It was great, sitting on the balcony watching the river. And the beautiful groundhog came out and looked at us, sit up on his back legs.... More

An inexpensive place to stay for a night in Cherokee, N.C. It's on a main thoroughfare in the Cherokee Indian Reservation, one lined with Indian t-shirt and gift shops. It doesn't have much curb appeal and it isn't fancy but the rooms are nice sized with a small refrigerator. Most importantly, each room has a balcony with rocking chairs overlooking... More

It was $75 on a thursday night. Was really looking for cheaper from the reviews. It was clean and the staff very nice! The private balcony overlooking the river is nice. Would most likely stay again. Close to Harrahs too.

My niece, my sister and I stayed 3 days in Cherokee,NC at this lodge. We booked online and our room was ready when we arrived. The lodge is older, but I expect that in the older areas of Cherokee. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was clean and functional. All rooms are on the river and you... More
