The allure of the open road is calling you. Exploring America’s best small towns, checking out local diners and shops and meeting locals is thrifty, nostalgic, and back in fashion.
So dust off the old hard-case suitcase, throw in some casual wear, a tooth brush and your cat-eye sunglasses and hit the road for an adventure retro-style, where the nostalgic simple get-a-way vacation is just a few miles down the road in Brevard, North Carolina.
We at the Sunset Motel celebrate the best of the classic roadside motel and hotel experience. We’re the real deal: clean, comfortable rooms, friendly hometown staff, chairs outside your door so you can visit with neighbors. And yes, for all you city folks, we do have free wi-fi, cable, fridge, microwave and coffee makers.Other conveniences available by request.
