Three Dogwood Award

Meadowlark Motel of Maggie Valley, NC, proudly announces that it has been awarded the highest tier of recognition offered by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s NC GreenTravel Initiative – the ‘Three Dogwood Award’.

The NC GreenTravel Initiative is a sustainable tourism recognition program. While all states do have a similar program, North Carolina’s GreenTravel Initiative is the most extensive of all state sustainable hospitality programs. It recognizes travel-oriented businesses within North Carolina for complying with a number of green, sustainable and eco-friendly initiatives outlined by the state.

Meadowlark Motel earned this prestigious award based upon ongoing programs the property has undertaken of its own accord, which are environmentally friendly.
