Smokies Guide
When you stay with us at the Hemlock Inn, you will be in the perfect location to enjoy so much within a short drive, not only in the Smokies but also in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Not only are we just 1.5 miles from a "quiet" entrance to the Smokies, we are also near Cherokee, Fontana Lake, Nantahala River and the Blue Ridge Parkway with great drives, easy to challenging hiking, fishing, biking, whitewater rafting, waterfalls, and so much more.

We hope this guide we help you plan your next trip. After reading the guide, you may decide to stay an extra day or two. If you have any questions before your trip, give us a call!
