About The Hotel
The Jonathan Creek Inn and Villas is a 4.6-rated (878 reviews) creekside inn on the Maggie Valley floor beside Jonathan Creek. The property pairs an indoor heated pool with creek-view rooms and villa-style suites, many with screened porches, creek views and rocking chairs overlooking the water. The inn offers a relaxed, well-kept valley base near the Cataloochee Ski Area, the Wheels Through Time museum and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Guest reviews praise the cleanliness (4.8), location (4.8) and the peaceful sound of the creek. A creekside pool inn rather than an in-room-jacuzzi property — the soak here is the pool and the creek.
What Guests Are Saying
“This is without a doubt one of the best places in the entire area to stay . We booked it because like it says it is on Jonathon’s Creek. Our checking went smooth and the young lady was knowledgeable and helpful , she chatted with us about the place and the amenities and cool places to see. Our room was on the second floor with a balcony dancing the creek ,though to be honest all rooms do have so what of a view of the river . Our only complaint would be we ordered the screened in porch to the creek but got a unit on the side and these are not totally screened in , but we were fine as we just walked down to the creek often. The bed was comfy to me , my wife thought a lil hard but she still slept good both nights . The hotel has an indoor pool , koi pond, lounge area with coffee inside the lobby . There are many areas to sit near the creek, a fire pit , a few swings, and some grills to cook. Quiet time starts at ten and we never heard a peep. They sell souvenirs as well. The place is right by BearWaters creek brewery and across the road from Joey’s Pancake house. We ate at both spots . We will definitely be back there this summer to stay again and we love Maggie Valley and Waynesville as well.” — Jefferson, 5 stars
“Our room was clean and comfortable. Our mattress was so soft and comfortable. Pillows(wow) 5 very nice pillows. Shower was roomy and water pressure was great and water was hot. Staff was friendly and accommodating they have a great area inside check in to rest or read a book, play a game or just do nothing. Back side of inn is on the river with huge deck that goes to the waters edge. Across the street is a great place for breakfast. ( best biscuits I have had). This is a great choice for rest and relaxation.” — HaroldCindy R., 5 stars

What guests are saying about Jonathan Creek Inn and Villas.
"I gave 5 stars because our stay was pleasant, reasonable, and it was very quiet. The only negative things I have to say is it's a bit outdated, the rug looked like it was filthy and from the 19th century, the water in the shower didn't get hot but it was warm enough to deal with, the bathroom was a little small, the parking lot was sooo tiny and barely accommodates larger trucks (we were in a 2026 GMC Sierra 4x4 and struggled to park at night time) and the bed was a little weak at the foot. I thought I'd broke it when I sat down on it, but the frame was just stretched to the max. However we would stay here again, no doubt. The creek was nice, the grounds were very clean and quiet, and all in all the hotel room itself was super clean. The indoor pool was nice although we didn't use it. There aren't many places to eat after 6pm, so if you want to do dinner, you better grab it early or you'll have to go to a bar and grille or drive about 20 minutes to Cherokee to find food. This town shuts down at 7pm then it's Ramen in the microwave for dinner! But it is nice and worth the stay! Highly recommend! Oh, can't forget the staff at this hotel! They are all so friendly and accommodating! It is also surrounded by beautiful mountains!"

The outdoor area behind everyone's rooms is really cool and beautiful. Having the back porch screened in is nice too for All seasons. When we needed some help with something. The lady working there at check-in was very friendly and helpful. And even though it's an older place, the rooms have very comfortable beds and high quality amenities. We would definitely stay there again"

View on Google"First thing I care about when staying somewhere is the mattress. This one was a nine the bathroom also gets a nine. The handheld shower was a huge plus that I love you don’t find in most places also also great set up the toilet and shower are in a separate room from the sink and vanity makes it great for a couple one can take a shower while the other shaves or does makeup really neat. I stayed in a room with a porch on the creek. The interesting thing about your porch is it’s totally private walls between you and your neighbor. Highly suggest you pony up for this option. Of course the sound of the creek is wonderful. The set up outside on the creek is wonderful. Just check out other reviews and pictures. You will see. Also you can walk right across the street to one of the best breakfast places you’ll ever eat at called Joey’s. Note: no pets"
