Hello, I'm a new member, just received my maps this week, very impressed with them so far. My question would be what city to stay as a base to ride in the Smoky mountains. I have been there 3 times and stayed at deals gap, robbinsville, and Iron Horse cabin. I would prefer to stay somewhere we can ride all day and then walk to a place to eat and have a few beers. A mom and pop type motel would be fine. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I'd look to stay at the Oak Park Inn in Waynesville. Mom & Pop, popular with riders, walk to lots of dining choices and pub in town.
Maggie Valley has a lot of rooms, but it's not as convenient to walk. If you like the area west, Fontana Village Resort is good, food, bar, etc. right there.
