Overall it’s a nice, cozy little cabin! We enjoyed the view and hanging in the hot tub. It could be so much more enjoyable with a few little updates. Two of the three beds were extremely firm, the ceiling fans in both bedrooms are unusable because they made loud scraping noises when on, and the pans were in such rough shape you couldn’t safely cook on them. If these items were fixed it would easily be a five star stay!

If you want seclusion, this is it! Very quite except the wonderful sounds of the woods and creek nearby. Very clean. No sighting of wildlife at cabin. Very close to Maggie Valley. The cabin could use some more kitchen cooking utensils, but overall very satisfied with the cabin. The road the cabin is on is a very tricky left hand turn, you will most likey have to turn in and back up a few times to get a full sized truck up it. There is not much trafic on the road, so you should be good. Also the driveway is shared with another cabin, so it could be tricky with several vehicles. Not much room to park for both cabins. All in all I would recommend.
