House is great and location is perfect. We like the upgrades and renovations you made to the house in the past year. We can't wait to come back next year.

Perfect Valentines Vacation

Phenomenal! What a place! My husband and I went away on a Dream Vacation and fell in love with your Cabin and Maggie Valley. We have stayed in a lot of wonderful homes advertised on VRBO, but this beautiful cabin leaves the others wanting. We loved the beautiful layout with 2 master bedrooms, the high ceilings, the wonderful upscale furniture, all just as you described. We were truly "away from it all" and were able to really enjoy one another. My husband and I rocked for hours on the porch enjoying the surrounding views and Mother Nature. It was very tranquil to sit in the hot tub on the deck outside at night and look at the thousands of stars in the sky. We look forward to our next stay at your cabin very soon. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be in the fall with all the color changes.

We had such a wonderful stay in your beautiful home. Your home was so warm and welcoming to us. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in your hot tub and taking in the breathtaking views. Your home was very clean and tastefully decorated, which was such a nice change from most of the other homes we have rented in Maggie Valley. Now that the holidays are behind us, we are looking forward to our 2012 vacation schedule and we will definitely be renting your home again this year.

Perfect weekend retreat

Mountain house was just as described. We used it as a base for visiting the Biltmore and exploring the Smokey mountains. The hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed after our day exploring the national park. Everything is close by and convenient. My husband has been to Maggie Valley before on a golf weekend. The Ritz would be an ideal location for such a trip as the course is a very short walk from the house. We found the nearby ski area. We can definitely see us coming back to ski and staying at the Ritz of course.

Everything in the pictures and description is correct. I appreciate a good hot tub and was not disappointed with this one. I had to call Rob with a question upon arrival and he not only answered the phone but answered my question. It is nice dealing directly with the owners! Great service. Also, we do ride Harleys and we had no problem with the access roads or driveway. We have stayed at some other places that were listed as "biker friendly", and really weren't, but this was no problem at all. Would definitely stay here again.

This home was a perfect place for peaceful vacation in the mountains. It was as described. The view from the porch was terrific. It was ever changing with every hour of the day. The colors of the fall leaves on the mountains were bright and beautiful. It was so pleasant, we decided to extend our stay for a full week. The home was very clean and welcoming. It made you feel like you were at home. I had the option of preparing my meals or going into town. I did venture out to Waynesville for the Annual Apple Festival. Main street had plenty of small shops, art galleries and cafes. This was by far the best vacation in a long time. I would highly recommend this place to family and friends. I will be back. Hopefully in the near future.

We've now stayed in the Maggie Valley/Waynesville area 6 times in the last 24 months ... we love the superb golf and the relaxing mountain area. We've also had the opportunity to rent some nice hotel rooms and some very nice homes --- and this "NOT" one of them. First off, there is really no view (as was told to us) ... the two mountain pictures that are used, were taken from some place else (you can tell from the elevation change) .. and the golf course picture, was shot from the county road about 1,000 yards "below" the house. The real view: is the tall trees 50ft from the house, the cable poles and the neighbors 25 year old Jeep Comanche pick-up truck that he proudly displays in your view. The front steps are very steep with 3 flights and the lights were burned out on every level - and it gets dark in the mountains .... when told, the owner had no reaction. When we tried the hot tub, the owner again didn't get back with us because he didn't know what keys worked until 3 hours later. The positives: -- it was clean. The negatives: -- no view, cheaply built, very small, no back area to cook, no safety lighting -- plus we had to remind the owner twice and waited over a month for our deposit. The bottom line: there is MANY really nice rentals in the Maggie Valley area, so do your due diligence, take your time and shop around ... CRay.

Had a wonderful 4 night stay. The house was clean, comfortable, with a killer fire place. The hut tub was nice too. Conveniently located in the heart of Maggie Valley, we were not far from a multitude of attractions. Highly recommended.

Girls Weekend at the Ritz

Guest: Stephanie and Leslie (Flat Rock, NC)
Date of Stay: 01/15/10 Review Submitted: 03/25/10

Very clean and the listing descriptions and photos were very accurate. The DVD player did not work ,but the owner was a phone call away and had a new one promptly delivered. We had everything we needed (except wine glasess) and did not even leave the property the entire time we were there. Perfect place to getaway. I would recommend this property if you don't mind neighbors and can walk up steep stairs.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind remarks and letting us know the wine glasses are missing. We will have them replaced this weekend. As for the steep bottom step, we will have that looked into as well and hopefully be able to address it quickly as well. We enjoyed having you as guests in our home and certianly hope you come back to visit us again!

This is an awesome place for a quiet retreat, perfect in every way. If you are looking for a quiet place away from the hustle of gatlinburg this you the vacation home. We toured the area during the day, and spent the evenings in the hot tub. It was wonderful. Maggie Valley is small town america the way it should be. Becky and Rob were also great to work with, thank you both for a wonderful vacation stay in the mountains in your beautiful home.

We are thorougly enjoying our stay at this comfortable and very clean home. It has everything we need - I am sitting by the fireplace right now staring at the mountains through the front window! The wireless internet is much appreciated! Beds are extremely comfortable with soft luxury linens. It couldn't be a better location for exploring the area, either. Very close to Asheville but not too far from the "Polar Express" in Bryson City, either! We would love to stay here again when we come back to the area!
