This was a lovely cabin property in the mountains between Waynesville and Maggie Valley, North Carolina. This was our first cabin rental, so we really weren't certain exactly what to expect. The cabin exceeded any expectations though. The location is incredible, the cabin itself was clean and super-well equipped. I would have to say that ANYTHING we needed or wanted was already there for us. Food is really the only thing you need to go get.

The gas fire-place was ultra-simple to use with a remote control, but broke after a couple hours of use. The owners were super responsive and had someone out to look at it the very next day. Unfortunately, her couldn't fix it and the gas company had not gotten there before we checked out. There is another heater on both floors, so it wasn't a big deal. We made a fire in the fire pit outside instead. They even provided the wood for the fire!

Skylights provide a lot of light upstairs, but I found the 1st floor to be a little dark. There is a lamp next to the couch that is bright and great for reading though.

The driveway is a bit scary if you are not all that comfortable driving on mountain roads and bothered my wife more than they did me. It is steep, but any car would do just fine except maybe in the winter snow.

There were trails all over the mountain. I think my dog and I hiked all of them! The beauty of the nature there is just breath-taking! Of everything that you could do while in the area, sitting on the front porch reading or just looking at the nature was my favorite.

In short, wonderful location, wonderful owner and a place I would like to return to again.
