This property is very clean and well taken care of. It has a beautiful view and is in a good location to quickly get anywhere in Maggie Valley and Waynesillve. Some cabins can feel a little outdated, but not this property. This property has all the modern feel and comforts, while still feeling nice and cozy!

Awesome Views, very clean and a nice hot tub!

The views are fantastic and the hot tub was excellent. Kitchen is well stocked and everything was very clean. FYI there is a few hundred feet of gravel before you get to the driveway. We would definately stay here again!

North Carolina getaway

This house was wonderful in every respect, but the view was so spectacular it made it very hard to leave the porch. The property manager, Heather, was the very best we have ever had at a VBRO stay. Extremely quick with responses to inquiries and very helpful in every way. And Waynesville and the entire surrounding area was a joy to explore!

Amazing house with quiet views

The Tuckaway house is just that. Tucked away, nestled in the woods with great views, tons of hummingbirds, silence, and a well stocked, clean home. Very comfortable furniture and all the amenities you can think of. Definitely our top choice in the area. Close enough to pretty much everything you want to see. Thank you for a great property!

As others have said, this is a gorgeous home equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. My sons loved the bunk room, I was more than comfortable in the lower level queen room, and my mother was able to navigate the single flight of stairs to the gorgeous main floor, where she enjoyed the master suite and was able to navigate the hardwood floors with no trouble. The indoor and outdoor fireplaces were wonderful. We laughed at ourselves for bringing wood for what we thought was a wood-burning one indoors; it’s gas—and easy to use (and very realistic, so, BONUS!)The location of the property was ideal for us, as we went skiing in Cataloochee and met nearby family for lunch in Waynesville. They were able to drive back to the cabin for a visit—the games provided came in handy (Banagrams FTW!)We had no trouble finding the property, but were glad our rental car had AWD for the last steep turn up the driveway. Folks with mountain-area driving should have no trouble navigating the brief winding roads up… we are just new to that terrain. Finally, a shoutout to the small touches that made this place over the top: coffee filters! paper towels! every kitchen amenity you might need! abundant towels! and easy checkout instructions & smooth communication with the owners. A great place to stay. We would love to return someday.

About the host

Hosted by Scott and Heather Williamson

Host profile image
Dustin, Allison, and their son Carson, live and work in Key West, Florida. Dustin is and an Attorney, Allison is a teacher, and Carson is an on-the-go two year old! In their spare time, they enjoy all manner of outdoor activities. It is that love of the outdoors that led them to begin vacationing in the Waynesville/Asheville area a few years ago. After hiking together as a family to waterfalls in the Pisgah National Forest, hiking throughout the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and just relaxing on the deck taking in the mountain views, they realized what a special spot this was and decided to put down root in the area.
