As the name implies, this was our second vacation to Maggie Valley. The weather was perfect, low 80's and it rained once. Take a trip to Lake Lure, approx drive one hour, kids will love jumping off the boat. Chimney Mountain was beautiful but,be prepared for a steep walk. White water rafting is a must do, if you've never experienced it! Our six yr old had a blast. The house is beautiful with plenty of room to relax. We are looking forward to next summer.

Owner response:It was this famlies second time at View Point and they are planing there next trip now. with so many fun things and beautiful scenary you cant see or do it all in 1 week. Tom

A Great Place for a Summer Vacation!

My family and I stayed at Viewpoint for a week last summer and thoroughly enjoyed every minute! The view is spectacular and the accommodations were very comfortable. The location is very convenient to the Maggie Valley and Waynesville area. My daughter, son-in-law, 2 grandchildren and 2 of their school friends joined us and there was plenty of room for everybody. We heartily recommend Viewpoint for a stay -- except of course when we plan to come back next summer. ;~))

What a wonderful place to stay. Everything you could possibly need or want was there for us. The view from the front deck was spectacular. The size of the house was wonderful for our family. I would highly recommend the place to anyone wanting a beautiful, peaceful get-a-way. The house is close to the skiing venue at Cataloochee. I will come back again - maybe in the summer!

Christmas reunion

My wife and I arrived a few days before Christmas and began preparing for the arrival of our "gang". We found a beautiful home with both a wood-burning and gas fireplace as well as plenty of bedrooms and a perfect floorplan. Soon after erecting and trimming our tree backdropped by the breathtaking Smoky Mts. our children and grandchildren arrived from Buffalo, Alabama, and FL. along with 3 grandchildren ages 1,3, & 4. All the kids and grandkids were able to stay on the lower level rooms with my wife and I in the master bedroom on the upper level. Separate entry is available on both levels which was perfect for all. We found all the necessary appliances and kitchenware for our stay. The home is very comfortable with plenty of room for all 9 of us. Views from the home were outstanding and the town of Maggie Valley was easily accessable. Plenty to do and explore even during the winter months. City of Waynesville was a super place to browse and shop with plenty of great small shops and boutiques. This was a great rental for large families and we would definitely recommend to others. The owner, Tom, was very helpful with any pre-arrival questions. Thanks for sharing your home!

My husband and I try to make at least 2 trips a year to Maggie Valley and we have rented numerous homes. We have finally found a place that fits all our needs and more. We even brought my 90 year old mother and she absolutely loved this home. Mom wants to go back in June hopefully with all the grand kids. This is a beautiful property With all the comforts of home . The view is amazing and if you are looking for a peaceful place to relax away from the everyday stresses this is it. My son also played golf at the country club at the bottom of the mountain and stated it is one of the best courses he has ever played on. We are looking forward to hopefully returning to viewpoint in June. Also Tom the owner has been such a pleasure and always available for any problems or questions. Thanks for sharing your home.

Motorcycle Vacation

My husband and I love to come to the mountains the last week of October. This is our second stay in Maggie Valley and first time at View Point. We towed our motorcycle so we have access to both modes of transportation in case of bad weather. It did rain 3 days while we were there. Tom, the owner, was especially accomodating and accessible in answering our questions before and during the trip. The home is older, was clean and as described in photos and copy. Location was great and easy access for motorcycle. Though the short driveway is gravel, we did not have any problem going up or down. The view is beautiful!! The owner provides all the conveniences of home. There was an issue with the WIFI access but we eventually got it working. The one thing we forgot to bring was our pillow. Beds are not top of the line but comfortable. Gas fireplace was wonderful and cable TV a plus to watch our favorite college team and World Series. Also enjoyed hiking around the neighborhood every morning. Great place to stay if you want to get to the Smokies or travel the beautiful roads in the area. Restaurants? Joey's Pancake House, Legends Sportsbar, Sweet Onion in Waynesville, Hot Springs (stop at Trust General Store for lunch on the way). Rode to Gatlinburg through the Smokies - most beautiful leaves we have seen in years.

Thanks Tom for sharing your home with us. The view was beautiful and the house was stocked with everything we needed. It was also very nice that you checked to make sure we had arrived and everything was as expected. Hopefully we will return again in the future.

MOTORCYCLE PERFECT

This is a beautiful property with great views. It is motorcycle perfect.... The streets are paved to the driveway. The house was everything and more. enclosed parking area, so your bikes are out of the weather, large porch, perfect for relaxing after a long day of riding the most incredible scenic roads in the smokey mnts. Tom was most helpful. We have looked for the past several years as we visit every spring and fall rally to find a place that will accommodate our group of 4 couples. This is it......Don't take my word for it, just jump on your bike and ride. Thanks Tom for a great Vacation.

Incredible View

The view from the porch is better than any overlook on the parkway. Rain kept us from going out a few days but relaxing on the porch looking into the valley was just as pleasant. We brought along a telescope and spent hours stargazing. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped and the rooms are very comfortable. There were a couple of issues when we arrived, but the owner took care of them right away. It's in a great area with lots of ways to be entertained, but the drives through the mountains (especially up Hwy 209 towards Hot Springs) were the most fun. Would highly recommend View Point! We want to do it again next summer!

This place is fantastic! It's better than any motel vacation I've ever been on. It's spacious, fully furnished and has one heck of a view (I can see why its called Viewpoint) Every room was well stocked and kept very clean, and those beds were so comfortable. The downstairs game room is awesome - shootin pool was my favorite. Theres plenty to do all around the area too, hiking, sights, Cherokee, the Blue Ridge Parkway is gorgeous! I highly recommend this rental to anyone of any age. Thanks Tom! - Josh
