We've stayed in Cherokee, Asheville and Maggie Valley but M/V is our favorite.


There are plenty of motels in M/V but I prefer the M/V Inn and Conference Center as they have a bar/restaurant on-site.

That's where we stayed last fall, very nice place, with a covered parking area for motorcycles!

No problem, love a business that openly posts on their sign that they welcome Combat vets!

Yes you can stay on BRP down to RT 23 which will bring you in from the east end. Or stay on to RT 19 from the west end. BRP in that area just N of Asheville and South of Asheville is probably the best portion. Known as the "high peaks area". You can also Sneak down on Rt 276 which isn't a bad road either. BRP can be crowded at rush hr because a lot of people use it as a short cut near rt25 and 74. It's not that bad though

While Asheville is a nice spot I would highly recommend Maggie Valey or Waynesville. Both are nice and close to great riding and Maggie Valley has the Wheels through Time museum, which is a must see! Waynesville also has a great HD dealership.
