Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Maggie Valley
We have been traveling to the mountains of North Carolina for years and love the Maggie Valley/Waynesville area because it is so close to SO many places. When a friend put this home on the market we decided it was time to buy so that our family would have a place of refuge and rest. It has proven to be that and more. The one reason we like this home specifically is year round access and the close (less than 5 minutes) to the Blue Ridge Parkway and access to Asheville (20 minutes if Linda is driving). We love this home so much that we hosted a destination wedding for our oldest daughter, where family and friends joined us in the Blue Ridge. It was a wonderful experience, but then again, everything is wonderful at this home. It's a slice of heaven on earth.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Our home offers year round living and while not mountain top - it is peaceful, serene and surrounded by the sound of rustling trees and lush mountain settings. It has super easy access to surrounding towns and cities and a driveway that is accessible year round. It is also located in Maggie Valley Club which is one of the premier mountain golf courses in all of Western North Carolina and some great winter skiing at Cataloochee Ski Resort. The location is ideal for traveling to art events, fall leaf looking, arts, mountain music festivals and Lake Junaluska. There is so much to see and do in Western North Carolina and our home is a perfect mountain getaway in a charming and chic setting. The back porch is the crown jewel of the house and where we spend most of our time as we watch the fireflies light up the NC sky at night. It's pure magic. LGBT friendly.

Owner's Map of Maggie Valley
Previously used as our private residence, we have only recently decided to open up our precious home to friends, family and select tenants. This home is designed according to our personal tastes and is not your typical mountain home. It's shabby chic with a ton of class thrown in. We love going to our home and it is so charming we feel like we are in the south of France or a charming villa. It's our retreat from a hectic life and our private oasis and a place of peace and serenity. We welcome you to our home which is decorated with fantastic and eclectic pieces of art and personalized objects d'art. We hope you will enjoy Morning Star Cottage as much as we do - I am sure you will want to come back time and again.
