I have some vacation time coming & wanted to trailer the bikes up there & ride the dragon. Maybe check out a range nearby too. Any B&B to stay at? The plan would be to find some scenic rides coming back to Florida. Looking to head out late May early June.
Thanks

I stayed at an Air B&B in Townsend. Great place to start the ride.

Any advice on the Deals Gap Apts?

Check out Tapoco lodge.

This will put you in the middle of a couple nice rides, Skyway and Dragon.  May be worth checking out.   I work here in Vonore and we have rented the cabins 3-4 times now.

I hate giving up my secrets, but theres a AirBnB cabin thats ON the Tennessee side of the dragon just before you get to the Foothills Pkwy that goes by the name "Away from it all in the smokies." Goes for about $110/night and it has a beautiful view with no one around you. Sleeps a lot of people, four single beds up top and a master twin or queen bed, with a couch and floor space for sleeping bags if needed. I've stayed there a few times, and will definitely be going back.

Also, the driveway is dirt/gravel mix and steep, but I've driven cars, trucks with trailers, and motorcycles up and down it. As long as there's no snow/ice out anyway. All bets are off on anything if that's the case.
