Great Hideaway

Enjoyed every minute of our stay. Well hidden but close enough to shopping and dining out. Home was as advertised, a beautifully crafted cabin fit for relaxation. Just sitting on the porch looking at the miles of view across the mountains was all you need, but there is always the hot tub. And, for a little excitement a visit by the local bear family! A wonderful week!

High mountain escape

My husband and I both fell in love with this cabin with it's AMAZING views and upscale yet very comfortable interior! The kitchen was very large and well equipped and the bed in the primary bedroom was very comfortable. The deck area was wonderful! We started and ended every day in the sparkling clean hot tub and the fire pit was a nice bonus too. We will definitely be back to this cabin!

Exactly what we wanted!

Great place to stay if looking for views and easy access. Wonderful sunset views, hot tub was great, even had a fireplace to warm up after a evening dip in the tub. Built in baby gates made it kid friendly. Had some black bear encounters so just be cautious of that for small pets and leaving stuff out but we actually enjoyed that part of nature. Our small dog stays next to us so not a huge concern just be cautious. Great stay!! I would go back for sure.

Great stay close to Sugar!!

Amazing little snowboard/ski getaway! If traveling at night, the road is a little sketchy because there’s minimal lighting so just be careful. Loved the text updates, the only complaint I have is because of receiving texts, I never checked my emails and had to drive back down (in the dark) to find the main office for entry into the gate. If this information has been in the text it would have been ABOVE a 5* rating!!

A Maggie Valley sweet spot

The property is represented in the description really well. The surrounding area has a lot to offer in terms of skiing, casual dining and loads of hiking. Since it was just my wife, myself and our dogs staying at Halfway to Heaven the house was definitely large enough. I honestly don’t have any complaints other than I have to return to work next week. It made for a great six day getaway. Take your time going up and down the hill. We saw a lot of wild life crossing the street.

A View to Die For

This place was so amazing and the view was awesome! The description and pictures of the place were spot on. We loved how the weather was by being at over 4000 ft. up and getting there was so easy, not scary to drive at all. The decorations were perfect for a log cabin and the layout was unique. If you are bringing friends or family, the two downstairs bedrooms are perfect because they each have their own bathroom. I spent many hours rocking on the porch just enjoying the view and nature around me. The loft shower is wonderful with its many functions and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our own meals and came with all the appliances you needed. I appreciate that we were able to bring our mini dachshund who loved exploring the mountains with dad on their walks. On the days that we left the house you are only 8-10 minutes to Maggie Valley, 15 min. to Waynesville, and 30 to 40 min. to Ashville. Thanks to Heather for answering all of our questions and making the booking process so easy. We will defiantly be planning another booking at this place.

Family Visit to the Smokey Mountains.

The view at this property was absolutely gorgeous and the cabin was very nice. We loved the location because it allowed us to go hike each day at the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. We loved the hot tub and the way the cabin was decorated. Our family loved the presence of bears and the “cabiny” feel. The master bath had a really nice shower and the beautiful view from the loft brought the best sunrise view I have seen.. We rated this cabin a “4” because of two problems. We needed to use Wi-Fi for my son’s college work. It was advertised as having Wi-Fi which helped us make the decision to stay here. After two attempts to communicate with the property manager to have it fixed we gave up and found a place in town for my son to finish a paper. The property manager never checked back or apologized when we said it had not been fixed as promised. This was inconvenient and cost us time that we could have spent doing something else or getting to relax in the cabin. Also, the mattress on the master bed was very uncomfortable and had a huge depression on my husband’s side. My daughter’s mattress was stiff and very uncomfortable. If these two things were fixed it would be a “5.” But, for us, without a comfortable bed we didn’t sleep too well after the long hikes. We would try this again if the owners replaced the mattresses. For the price a good comfy bed and Wi-Fi should have been included as advertised.

I apologize for the internet not working. The technician was finally able to get to the house after your departure. Unfortunately, they cancelled on us a couple of times and it was not something I was able to fix myself. We have switched to a different provider in order to not have WIFI issues in the future. I will address the beds immediately. Thanks for your feedback. Heather
