Meadowlark Motel with Restaurant & Bar

What guests think

Travellers describe Meadowlark Motel with Restaurant & Bar as a retro, budget-friendly base with a creekside yard and lively speakeasy, in a convenient Maggie Valley location that’s walkable to dining and close to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Rooms are basic and dated; comfort and layout vary, with reports of noisy or inefficient AC/heaters, thin walls and road noise, limited outlets or low TVs, and spotty Wi‑Fi in at least one stay. Many found rooms clean, but cleanliness is inconsistent, with reports of dirty floors or filters, cobwebs and hair, odors, and one bed bug discovery. Staff are widely praised for friendliness and help, though short staffing sometimes delays check‑in or towel exchanges; amenities like the pool and outdoor spaces appeal, but parking may tighten during events and on‑site dining and breakfast can be limited. Expect a simple, old‑school stay with lively social spaces and some trade‑offs.

Authentic vintage roadside, pet friendly, motel experience. The rooms are very much as they were when built originally (my guess is 50's). Nothing fancy but everything a practical person needs. My room was clean. The staff is friendly and attentive. They did great giving us an early check-in. Additionally, there is a back yard to this place, with chairs and a creek. It is awesome. My dog and I really enjoyed our time in and beside the creek. I'd definitely stay here again.

First of all, the "restaurant" is closed. Breakfast consisted of coffee, lucky charms and black bananas and stale mini pastries. The ice machine is locked up at 9 pm and often doesn't work at all. The staff was notified that someone had dumped pop in front of our door, but they never cleaned it up. Grumpy staff. Not worth the price.

We had a fantastic time at Meadowlark. We stayed in the pool most of the week. It was the perfect size and depth. There are a lot of trees and shrubs around the pool so it can’t be seen from the road or parking lot at all. It feels private. The Speakeasy is the best hangout in Maggie Valley. Its vibe can’t be matched. The rooms are cozy and the location is ideal for your stay in Maggie Valley. Definitely recommend.

The pool was out of order but we were not told that until we arrived, our air conditioner in our room did not work well. They have a "Speakeasy" which uses a huge part of the motels parking spaces so you can not even park by your room and the traffic is horrible. The staff however was wonderful and tried very hard to accommodate us

Clean room however a/c unit was extremely noisy and woke me during night when thermostat engaged. Also noticed extremely dirty filters inside unit. Very short chain that average person could not reach to turn on light in closet area.Bathroom floor had unappealing splotchy grout, which appeared dirty. TV was very small and should be mounted higher on wall. Coffeemaker inadequate. On a positive note, Excellent staff and we enjoyed a delicious home-cooked Thanksgiving meal as part of our room charge.

We checked into our room and it took 45 minutes for to short staff. Only 1 receptionist. The room had cobwebs everywhere. Bathroom had hair in it. The electrical plates were hanging out of the wall. Tv was so small it was on a small table and was below the bed so you couldn’t watch it. Ramp outside of our room was old and boards were rotten about the break. Very disappointed. We have stayed here prior and our room before was nothing like this one. Definitely needs updating.

Hand held shower head was extra nice, most of the room was clean but your socks reveal the floor needs mopping. Beds comfy, walls are thin, and close to a busy road so there's traffic noises. No room for toiletries in the bathroom and a hook on bathroom door would be helpful. But still good enoughfor the price

We were only here the 1 night, on a road trip, but were pleasantly surprised with this motel in the very cozy Maggie village. We had room 130, it was overlooking the creek, providing great views, bed was nice, had a large tub too. The entire motel had a very mountain cabin type feel to it which we loved. The owner was very friendly and helpful as well. We were here during the off season but there was still plenty of dining options to choose frome. Would definitely return again.

Clean room but pathecially bad furnishings. Bed stand might have been high enough decades ago but now higher beds so stand too low; Beds had something under sheet that crinkled loudly with any movement; really bad, limited lighting in room, nice table in corner but no light and no nearby socket to plug in light; drawer stand low, TV on stand so low it's difficult to watch from bed; no space for toiletries in bathroom; closet space just outside bathroom was big - space to put cabinet / stand to put stuff but nothing. Only one plugin per wall. Room being so poorly appointed reflects complete lack of understanding nor care of how to make a room comfortable and convenient.

All of the amenities are spot on like the creek, fire pit, pool, restaurant/bar/lounge, had live music. Breakfast. Plus, walking distance to most everything. I could not have been any better and this is our new go to place when we come to Maggie Valley. Oh, and of course the room was fantastic.

Room was mediocre which was expected...odd having a jacuzzi tub as the shower. Dirt on floor. Got there Thursday had to go ask for towels on Saturday. Apparently zero cleaning service while you stay. The restaurant is absolutely horrible and extremely overpriced. The absolute blandest food I've ever been served. Way too bougie for it's location and trying too hard. Got some pulled pork sliders &Mac n cheese.. plain elbow macaroni with some shredded cheese melted on top and 3 little sliders of mushy zero seasoning pork butt. Salt would have been an improvement. With a water for $26...buddy ordered ribs...1 single rib bone on a tiny square of gritty cornbread. His wife had trout. Bland no seasoning. Only meal that actually covered the plate. Their meal with 1 drink each $75. Honestly only good food we had all weekend was from a trailer in the fairgrounds

When booking this facility, I had read that is was family owned and operated for decades.. Pride of ownership certainly showed in the facility. Room was fresh and clean, staff was knowledgable, friendly and very helpful. They had opened a new restaurant on site a few weeks ago, and it was really very good! Try the short ribs, they will NOT disappoint!

mattress or topper had noisy material in it. could not quietly roll over. A desk or a comfy chair would have been nice as would a lamp on both sides of the bed. Would have been great if the blinds had the rod so the blinds could have been tilted open so the bottom could have been closed but the top open for more privacy instead of only options of open or closed. Continental breakfast was very disappointing but the supper meal was excellent. Desserts were excellent.

I've stayed a few times now. What I like most about it is the picnic and setting area out back. It gets you away from the traffic noise and has a canopy and fire pit at the creek. The canopy area needs attention but it's still nice. The restaurant has a good menu. It took a while to get out food but it was worth the wait. Rocking chairs and table at the front door of the rooms. Staff is super friendly and attentive. We stayed during the biker rallys each time. So it's a bit more expensive than regular stays. Can't speak for everyone but bikers like it. They will give you rags if needed and let you put your bike under the canopy
