Description - Our lodging members offer all types of accommodations that you can imagine! Choose from one of our hotels, motels, cabins, cottages, vacation rentals or bed & breakfast. Maggie Valley stands head and shoulders above all the places that boast a Smoky Mountains location. We are surrounded by mountain ranges in all directions and our higher elevations mean cooler temperatures, more spectacular views, and cleaner air. During the spring, summer and fall seasons you can enjoy Ghost Town in the Sky Western Theme Park, Cherokee's Santa's Land Theme Park and Zoo and Maggie's Wheels Trough Time Motorcycle Museum. Additionally, we have numerous festivals, bluegrass music, multiple concerts, dancing, clogging, a dinner theater and much, much more all throughout the year. For motorcycle enthusiasts, the Maggie Valley area is one of the very best for riding. Deals Gap, also known as the "Tail of the Dragon" for it's 318 curves in 11 miles, is a short scenic ride away, as are the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In addition to the well known routes, we have thousands of miles of back road jewels that are unknown to the average motorist. The winter brings us skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing. Cataloochee Ski Area in Maggie Valley opens in early November and closes in late March and boasts the longest ski season in the Southern Appalachian Mountains.
