[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1358608, member: 27852"] Maggie Valley would be my absolute last choice for accommodations in that area. Well - maybe Cherokee would take the prize - it would be a close second. I'd much prefer more remote and quaint towns/villages. IMO, MV has turned into quite a tourist trap. Closer to Deal's Gap are Robbinsville and Tellico Plains on the other side of the Cherohala Skyway. Consider Brevard, Waynesville, or Cashiers to the south. There's a lodge in Hot Springs north of MV that is wonderful. Still further north, the village of Roan Mountain is fantastic, and there is also a nice lodge within the RMSP. The Grandfather Mountain region is stupendous, with nice accommodations in Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, and Linville. I could go on and on.... You could loop ride out of any one of these places for 3 days, but not to and from Deal's Gap. I suppose if you insist, take your friend throughout the Deal's Gap region so that he can say he slayed the Dragon. But honestly, I'd pick up and move each day. The riding around DG is far better and you won't be wasting time trying to get back to the hotel. I've spent 6 separate weeks in the entire Appalachian region riding motorcycles over the past 7 years. If you need some road choices, just holler. [/QUOTE]
