My husband and I happened on the Meadowlark Motel the end of July 04, while trying to find somewhere to spend our vacation/honeymoon/birthday. The staff is so very friendly and treats you like you are their family. The rooms are xtremely clean and pretty. We actually stayed in the end unit left of the office right on the creek. Our bedroom windows on the side opened right up to the creek....what a wonderful sound during the night to hear the creek running. We have decided this is the only place we will stay each year while we visit Maggie Valley. You can't go wrong with this motel...the rates, the service exceeds any of those "chain" hotels. The Meadowlark is centrally located to all area actractions including Harrahs and Gatlinburg. Lots of shopping too !!! There is even a Maggie Valley Opry House right up the road. Thanks to all at the hotel for making it a memorable stay for us !!!!
