In the glory days of road trips, when you wanted to motor West, Route 66 was the highway that’s the best. But in the East, it was U.S. Highway 19 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park of North Carolina and Tennessee.
In 1948, during the height of the road-trip era, Rocky Waters Motel opened to travelers along that iconic highway to the North Carolina mountains.
Today, it’s revitalized and reopened in midcentury mountain style as Route 19 Inn in scenic Maggie Valley, NC, near Waynesville, Cherokee and Asheville.
