Check out the Wigwam Motel near the Smoky Mountains National Park.
Still doing well business-wise in 1998, the Wigwam is a true roadside
stop.

Here's a photo of the Wigwam Motel in Cherokee, North Carolina.
This part of the Smoky Mountains is big on Indian themes. There is an
Indian casino as well as museum and plenty of opportunities to have your
picture taken with a chief. A small white sign out front says "We
are not high!" Hopefully, they meant the prices.

Motel signs can't get any better than this one! The Pink
Motel captures fantasy with its pink fairy passing her wand over the
marquee. This motel appears to be straight out of Storybook Land. From
the looks of things, this motel appears clean and is always busy.
UPDATE 10/13 : The Pink Motel is located on the Oconaluftee River on US- 441 in Cherokee, NC. It was still operating in April, 2010 with that beautiful pink sign. Many thanks to Don Milne http://www.roadtrip62.com for photo and info. 10-13
