If you can stand an hour-long commute, the Cherohala Motorcycle Resort over at Tellico Plains is a great place to overnight. From there, you can take the Cherohala Skyway, Tail of the Dragon, and Foothills Parkway to the National Park, then through the Park to the BRP in Cherokee. That's a fairly lengthy half-day route, but some of the best riding on the east coast.

Cleveland is a good stop, 50-60 for a room, then you can start out with a full day.
I've stay there usually coming front the west and it's nice to start off in the AM

the Ocoee River is just SE of Cleveland and is a great ride to the Whitewater Center where the Olympic kayaking was held years ago. You can continue your journey from there without backtracking.

I took some advice and got a cabin at the Cherohala Motocycle Resort. It looks like a decsent place to stay and not bad prices either.

I think you'll really like it there at Cherohala Resort! In the town of Tellico Plains, there is a great little motorcycle shop and across the street a really nice coffee shop/deli. We always like to get a lunch "to go" from the coffee shop and stop on the Cherohala Skyway to eat - really a great day!
Tell the folks at the Resort that I said "hello" - I have been so busy that I haven't been up this year yet.

+100 on the Cherohala resort.
(Pastor John, I have a pic of my bike on front of the same cabin.. )
Good vittles, great folks, a nice campfire and you will get a great nights sleep.
HERE are some pics of the place...
Get a map, go over the Cherohala Skyway, Go see Bald rock falls (a very slight detour while on the Skyway) Head over towards Cherokee or Maggie Valley to pick up the BRP
There are way too many great roads to ride in the area. You'll have a blast!

Coming from Ms, go through Chattanooga, then get off the beaten path and follow 68 up to Tellico..
Here's a nifty route that is mildly twisty, relatively scenic, and a direct road to the resort. --- Won't be fun in the dark tho...
