See all photos →

  • Direct river access and private on-site trails; close to Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway.
  • About 12 minutes’ drive to Santeetlah Lake and under 10 miles to some scenic byways and waterfalls.
  • Not within walking distance of downtown Robbinsville — a car is recommended.

Tapoco is a destination in itself; expect to drive into town for broader services.

Quality Inn & Suites Robbinsville – Location

  • Address: 111 Rodney Orr Bypass, Robbinsville — close to Nantahala National Forest access.

Choose Quality Inn for a convenient, town-based location near forest access points.

  • Cheoah Dining Room serves breakfast (8:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m.) and functions as an event dining space.
