Front desk was excellent! Quaint little motel that has been remodeled and very clean! Love the mini split AC than makes zero noise and keeps you very cool. Beautiful creek out front with a fire pit and lots of seating. Will be coming back soon!

Another great visit ….I love this place , right in the center of town , clean , quiet and affordable.

I'm not sure quite what to say about this motor lodge. The moment I drove across the bridge onto the property, I knew I was in for a treat. I have spent many nights out on the road, and I've stayed in some of the finest hotels in the United States. Never have I had such a pleasant experience as at the Heart of the Valley. The owner is just a delightful person. And Bela, the Lab/Sheppard mix, is such a sweet and adorable girl! I brought a bag of treats with me because I had heard about Bela. After I fed her some biscuits, she brought a rock to me and very calmly laid it down at my feet and insisted that I play fetch with her. Despite being an older pup and in poor health, unfortunately, she wanted to play. The next morning when I checked out, Bela recognized me and reacted as if we were lifelong friends who hadn't seen each other in years. So much to discuss about this motor lodge and how wonderful my short stay was. Immaculately clean rooms. Rustic, retro, and beautiful accomodations. Comfortable bed. Wonderful night's sleep. The perfect hostess. Bela the kind and gentle girl she is. I honestly don't remember ever experiencing anything quite like this stay. Thank you for making it such a meaningful and pleasant experience. Best wishes to Bela. I will see all of you on my trip back home.

The room was clean and comfortable. My favorite part was the sitting area by the creek. It was peaceful and relaxing.

Scenic and cozy. Clean and quiet. Excellent value.

The lady who owns the motel is so so nice and inviting! There were vacant rooms during our stay, so she let my husband and I upgrade to a room with one king size bed vs 2 queen beds. Every time we saw her she asked if she could do anything for us. They also have their dog at the property (they live on site) and she’s the sweetest, friendliest dog ever!!! The rooms were also very, very nice and cozy. Would highly recommend!

I really enjoyed our stay here. The beds were firm and comfortable, the hostess attentive and everything was so clean. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved the fire pit. It was so nice sitting around it at night and talking with other guests. The owner was very informative about the area and shared stories around the fire. Will definitely be back!

This is a cute old motel that was recently redone. The owner was great and the area is great but the beds ( at least in room 103) were so hard it was like sleeping on the floor. The floors are like ice and when you close the bathroom door to shower there’s only one light with a fan so it sucks the cold air from the floor and makes the bathroom so cold. Had to shower with the light off and the door open.

This is a gem of a old school motel and has been recently renovated. It's nicely equipped with amenities. My only critique is sandpaper like towels and a very stiff mattress. Regardless of these critiques.... I would gladly stay again.

It was a great stay staff was like family very attentive and accomodating we checked in late and staff had heaters 9n and room was warm will be staying there every time im in maggie valley

We loved staying here! The renovations to the property were beautiful. The room was spotless when we got there. We look forward to staying there again in the future.

Where do i begin. This place is A quaint, clean, no frills motel. The staff was absolutely amazing!!!! We loved the creek in front and even though it is in the heart of Maggie Valley, you baredly hear any road noise. The rooms were basic, exceptionally clean, and comfortable. We will definitely be booking this place again!!!!

What a Hidden Gem, back off the main road , convienient to everything in & out of town, quiet, freshly remodeled with old school charm. My room was spotless clean, comfortable, functional and new..... The property manager Boyd and his Furry Lab assistant were awesome, very helpful, friendly and knowledgable about the property and the area. (there was even a fire burring by the creek in the evening for guests to relax , unwind and feel at home). This definitely will be my recomendation and go to stay every time I'm in Maggie Valley..

Very clean. Only thing I was not use to was no tissue.

All went well, nice clean comfortable room friendly staff. We will stay here again!

Outside lighting on steps are needed close to the office leading up to the upstairs. Lamp fixture was broken. Beautiful creek setting out front of motel.

You can tell that a great many updates have been done. Shower needs a grab bar and maybe that it yet to come. For an older motel they have done a nice job. Although listed on Soco rd it is really off the main drag hence there is no noise from traffic. My husband really liked the pillows and asked for info on type. He hopes to hear about a resource but has not heard yet.

Heart of the valley is the best place we’ve ever stayed. You feel so welcome. Ever guest is friendly. They had bond fires everyone sat around the fire talking and laughing. Met some of the most wonderful people. Hope to see them all next year.

Enjoyed our stay

Boyd was great!! Totally recommend! Planning to come back next year.

Maggie Valley was half way on a long trip ! I was able to find a nice meal and went back to my room to relax and sleep ! Best sleep I have had in a long time ! Very quiet with a flowing brook that was very relaxing !

The hotel was great very clean. In the evenings they would have a campfire very relaxing. Plenty to do in the area.

Wonderful staff and property! Nice and quiet and just far back enough from the road to feel away from the crowds! Will return!

I am glad I read the reviews. This is an older motel tucked back in the woods. A creek runs along the front. It’s clean, quiet and safe. And the rooms are updated for modern technology. There’s firewood provided for a fire and a big black lab to play with.

This motel was so clean and very quiet. The general manager checked us in and he was extremely helpful. I highly recommend it.

Very nice older hotel-renovated. Beautiful, quiet area in a wooded area with a babbling brook a few steps from our room. Very Helpful staff.

The Heart of the Valley motel has nice, spacious and updated rooms. They are very clean with new bedding. The bed was firm, which I prefer. However, the pillows were not very comfortable, because they were so big and thick. The owner/front desk representative was very friendly and helpful. The outside of the motel doesn't look as refurbished as the inside and could use some updating/additional work. I think adding an enclosed railing/banister that could be painted would help give the front of the motel some character and help beautify the property. The motel was our home base for a weekend full of outdoor activities. The Heart of the Valley is perfect for such a trip. My stay was great and I would stay here again.

We stayed here June 30 through July 2. Beautiful little place. Beautiful creek in front of the property and the property is located off the main road. Very close to everything. The owner was very nice. Will definitely be returning

Very clean, extremely nice polite and helpful staff. Firepit was awesome, right by the creek and the stars shined bright. Off the main strip so pretty quiet to enjoy yourself and relax. The motel pet was awesome too, she likes to play fetch with whatever she can find. Very sweet and smart fur baby.

Rooms have been remolded and very clean . The staff were very nice and friendly. Will be staying again in the future

very clean and plenty of hot water after letting it run a couple minutes to get hot.
