Riverside balconies, classic Cherokee stay

Newfound Lodge keeps things simple, with a vintage, mid-century feel and a long history in Cherokee. Most rooms open to private riverside balconies perched above the Oconaluftee River, where coffee comes with steady water sounds. It is a family-friendly spot that welcomes dogs, too.

  • Riverfront fishing access

    Step out to the Oconaluftee River for easy fishing right from the grounds.

  • No-car-needed Cherokee

    Walk to the Museum of the Cherokee Indian from this central, walkable base.

  • Dining plan made easy

    No on-site dining, so it is a great excuse to explore Cherokee’s local spots.
