Talley Ho Inn

"This was mine and my wife's second time staying here. First for our anniversary and second for an early valentines weekend getaway. We absolutely love this place and plan to return in October for the annual twisted piston car show. Highly recommend!"

"Beautiful location and grounds. Rooms are large and spacious. I love the fact that the bathroom has a sink and there's also a little getting ready area with another sink, so two people can brush teeth and get dressed at the same time. Staff is always friendly and helpful. You're within walking distance (a couple of miles) of multiple restaurants, tubing, and more, all with great sidewalks on the edge of the Smokies up and down both sides of the road. And of course, you're only 8-9 miles from the beautiful Cades Cove. One thing they need to make clear: daily room service is no longer provided. You need to place trash outside for pickup and ask at the lobby to swap your towels or hang them and reuse them. Personally, I really like those changes. I don't need a maid to make my bed and sweep or wipe down my room every single day. I really just want fresh washcloths and I'll hang my towels to dry."

"I stayed here this past weekend and really enjoyed my experience at the Tally Ho. The price was reasonable and the rooms were very clean, modern, and updated. The beds were extremely comfortable and we enjoyed the beautiful view from our room. Staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying again sometime in the future!"

"Overall, I recommend this inn. The biggest downside is that their internet service is spotty. They did warn of this when we checked in. We have TMobile and our phones did not work well in the area either. Download your maps ahead of time. This is a great, local inn. We checked in at the main building. There is a covered area at the front of the main building where you can temporarily leave your car while you check in. This inn provides fairly large keys to unlock you door. We stayed in the king, jacuzzi room. This is one of their more expensive rooms. Their prices are comparable to Airbnb's and hotels in the area. The rooms are dated but well maintained and clean. Our room had a jacuzzi, that is very noisy. The timer control is on the wall near the bed along with posted instructions. There is a fireplace with gas logs. You turn on with a timer to the left of the mantle. The shower had good pressure. There was plenty of hot water. There was a small fridge, microwave and single serve coffee pot. There was back patio with chairs where you can sit in the morning and listen to the local rooster off of our bedroom. You do not hear the rooster inside the room. There is not daily cleaning service. If you need more towels or coffee you check in at the front desk. Their rooms are located within 2 story buildings on their property. They do not have stairs but ramps that switchback so good for strollers, wheeled suitcases and wheelchairs. The inn does have a swimming pool. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. You should definitely drive the Little River Gorge Road. Turn right out of the inn parking lot and go .2 miles and you will pass a sign for the Smoky mountain National Park. It is one of the most beautiful, scenic roads we have driven. Lots of spots to pull off and enjoy nature."

"My boyfriend and I stayed for a long weekend. This is the cutest little hotel! The service was amazing!!! The room was cozy. We loved the gas logs. I had no issues with my phone service in this location. This is our new go to place for a nice weekend away."
