    Blue Ridge Parkway/ Dragons Tail

    I'm thinking about doing the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Dragons Tail sometime late June 2015. Can anyone tell me where there is a good spot that's about half way between the two to rest my weary bones, what town and reasonable hotel/motel?
    Thanks

    The best vacation I ever had was we and another couple trailered to N. Ga. spent the night in a motel...made arrangements to leave the truck and trailer and to come back and get it...we drove where ever we wanted, got tired stopped, got hungry, stopped and ate...it was great not have to come back to a central location. We ended up back at the motel, spend the night there, in the AM headed home... the only way to travel!!!

    The TWO WHEEL INN in Robbinsville. I've stayed there a couple times. Each room has an attached garage for your Motorcycle.

    Thanks to everyone for their replies and suggestions, Sounds like Robbinsville area is the place to lay my head. Maybe I'll see some of you there.

    We stay at the Tellico cabins. They are in Tellico Plains, TN and at the entrance to the Cherohala Skyway. When we ride the Dragon we stay in Tellico so that we can ride the skyway both ways. The dragon is fun but the skyway is 52 miles of awesome.
