WELCOME to The Alexander Homestead Log Cabin. Entering through the front door by way of the wraparound deck, you will be welcomed by the warm wood interior and charming decor of this immaculate log cabin.
As you venture downstairs you encounter the MASTER BEDROOM with a full bath and shower. This bedroom has a king bed with pillowtop mattress. To insure that you rest well while staying at The Alexander Homestead Log Cabin I have provided luxury Egyptian linens for your comfort. This bedroom is so private you are not even aware of its presence. It is oversized with two sets of French doors leading out onto the covered wraparound deck where a hot tub awaits you or if you prefer, a swing or hammock.
Upstairs in the loft you will find the GUEST ROOM (Bonnie's room)furnished with twin beds and family antiques. This bedroom also has a full bath & shower. Also in the loft is a cozy nook in which to read, play board games or simply daydream.
Upon first glimpse of my cabin perhaps you will be reminded of an earlier, simpler time in younger years when you dreamed of living in a treehouse in the woods. This charming log home offers seclusion and privacy, quaintly tucked away in woods screened with mountain laurel. My woods are home to chipmunks, squirrels and many various species of birds. In the morning hours and throughout the day and early evening you may find yourself being entertained by the antics of these furry critters and their beautiful and whimsical feathered friends. And as the saying goes, "if you feed them, they will come."
Perhaps, later on as you relax in the swing or hammock with a glass of wine or your favorite book you may be soothed by the sounds of the wind rustling through the trees or the rushing waters of the nearby creek.
If you choose to cook while staying at The Alexander Log Cabin, you will find a FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN. In addition to stove, oven and refrigerator, appliances include microwave, toaster, toaster oven, blender, mixer, crock pot, coffee pot and grinder. You also will find plenty of pots and pans, cooking utensils, and silverware-- everything you need to prepare a gourmet dinner. Or if you prefer something a little more casual, enjoy a cookout using the gas grill and patio furniture on the wraparound deck.
The LIVING ROOM, with its beautiful oak hardwood floors and cathedral ceiling, offers a magical sense of tranquility. During the cooler seasons enjoy a romantic evening in front of the Woodburning Stone Fireplace. And in the warmer months when the sun sets later, relax in the cabin or on the wraparound deck and experience the reality of living in a Smoky Mountain Treehouse.
The Alexander Homestead Log Cabin is in a terrific location for day trips. If you are an outdoor enthusiast this is the place for you!
As a previous guest comments, "This cabin is even better than the pictures. It is well kept and clean. It makes for the perfect mountain get away if you want to be AWAY from everything, yet CLOSE enough to all the places you need to go. We will definitely be coming back to this JEWEL in the mountains."
Once down from the mountain, which is just a short mile, you end up on Soco Rd/US19 which is the main street through Maggie Valley. Turn left and drive about 17 miles and you reach Cherokee. On the way, and about a 10 minute drive from the cabin, you will pass the entrances to The Smoky Mountain National Park and also the Blue Ridge Parkway. Gatlinburg is about 50 miles from the cabin and then Pigeon Forge is just another 6 miles. The Biltmore Estate which is a must see is only 35 miles away in the opposite direction. There is horseback riding, golfing, miniature golf, hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking and white water rafting near by.

Why the Owner Chose Maggie Valley
Upon first glimpse of my log cabin, I was immediately reminded of a time as a little girl when I wanted to live in a treehouse. The cabin is tucked away in the woods and sitting in the living room, looking out the windows, you actually get the sensation that you are in a treehouse. The cabin is very private and quiet but not isolated. You are close enough to any place that you might want to go, but yet "away from it all".
The Unique Benefits at this Log Cabin
I truly enjoy visiting my cabin and relaxing in the mountains. There are two wraparound decks with a hot tub, swing, hammock and rocking chairs. While sitting on the deck I can watch the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks play while listening to the soothing sounds of the nearby creek. Since this is my home, it is very important to me that I provide a very CLEAN & cozy vacation rental for you, my guest. And while you are visiting I hope that you will feel as if you are in your Smoky Mountain "home away from home".
Owner's Map of Maggie Valley
I was happily living in Denver, and had lived there for the previous 28 years, when I went on vacation to the Smoky Mountains. When we drove into Maggie Valley, I just fell in love with the area. While in the area we decided to drive around and look at real estate. I just had to buy my "Smoky Mountain Treehouse", and within the year, I had sold my home in Denver and moved to St Augustine, Fl where my sister lives. Even though I do not yet live in the mountains, I am able to get away on occasion. And every time I go, I love it just a little bit more!

We spent a week at the cabin in early October. The cabin is everything that is advertised and very nice. It has all that you need for a wonderful time. It is very clean and everything is in really nice shape. The cabin is only a couple of minutes from town, but seems a world away. My wife and I couldn't have had a better time. A great value - Thanks Diane! Did you find this review helpful? Yes No

Hi Diane, I wanted you to know that your home is beautiful. We had such a WONDERFUL Christmas up there. I wasn't sure how it would be because we have always stayed home for the holidays, but your home felt like our own. Everything was perfect! I'm not sure if it was the weather or the comfy bed, but we haven't slept like that in a long time. It was a very relaxing vacation. Thank you again, and I hope we will be able to stay again. I wouldn't stay any place else in Maggie Valley. Sincerely,

Thank you, Dave and Melanie. I really strive to pay attention to detail so that when you are staying at the Alexander Log Cabin you will feel as if you are in your mountain home away from home. And I appreciate guests who recognise this fact.

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at your cabin this past weekend. It was absolutely perfect...minutes to everything yet very secluded and private. It only takes about 5 minutes to get to the snow tubing park and about 15 minutes to get to Cataloochee Ski Resort, and that's from the log cabin driveway to their parking lots. We were very impressed and will definitely stay there again as well as refer our friends. Thanks again, Joseph Chapman

Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your log home. First day we had lunch on your picnic table on the deck, swung in the hammock and used the swing. Not to mention the jacuzzi. It's going to be a great vacation.

Diane, I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your cabin, especially the fireplace! I love the way you decorated it; it gives it a nice homey feel. Everything was just as you said it would be, and the "Maggie Valley Pizza" was delicious. Thank you again for renting out your cabin. I'm sure we will be back some day; we'd like to try visiting in warmer weather Sincerely, Cathryn Huber
