Cherokee, Harrah`s Casino, and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are about 30 minutes away, and guests that would like to visit the historic Biltmore Estate in Asheville, can be there in less than an hour.

From there, you will travel into the kitchen which opens into the main living area.
