Route 19 Inn

Route 19 Inn is a meticulously restored retro hotel nestled in the heart of Maggie Valley, North Carolina, offering guests a unique blend of mid-century mountain charm and modern comforts. Originally established in 1948 as Rocky Waters Motel, our property has been revitalized by a team of resort operators, artisans, and former Disney executives to deliver an authentic road-trip experience with contemporary amenities. Our secluded setting at the confluence of Fie Creek and Jonathan Creek provides direct access to two mountain streams, while our proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Tail of the Dragon Road positions us as an ideal base for exploring Western North Carolina's natural and cultural attractions. We offer 32 thoughtfully designed accommodations ranging from classic hotel rooms to camper-style glamping units, all featuring mid-century modern decor and modern conveniences like USB charging ports and cable HDTVs.

Our property includes curated amenities such as a seasonal pool, creek-side dining areas, vintage photo opportunities, and family-friendly features like a playground and carousel horse from Ghost Town in the Sky. We cater to travelers seeking nostalgic experiences with modern comforts, whether they arrive on motorcycles, classic cars, or simply in search of a distinctive mountain getaway. Our team combines hospitality expertise with local knowledge to ensure guests experience both the historical significance and contemporary appeal of our property. We maintain partnerships with nearby attractions and restaurants to enhance our guests' exploration of the region. Our commitment to preserving mid-century design while meeting modern expectations makes us a distinctive destination for road-trippers and mountain enthusiasts alike.
