Magical Deck

We were there for a girls trip to unwind destress and catch up. The house provided all we needed (dont miss that detail about TP, like we did). The deck does not disappoint. We had brunch out there one morning, enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings and coffee in the rockers is a must. We played a ruthless game of Uno at the dining table and borrowed some books from the house library. We had a great time explorying Haywood County and we found the Train Station!

Christmas visit

Our family gathered from Hawaii, Colorado, and South Carolina at this beautiful property. We loved being able to do all the activities of home such as cooking meals and all sitting around the same table to eat them and then play games together. The wood fireplace was a wonderful Addition and the large back deck has an amazing view. Make sure that if there is any hint of wintry weather when you have booked your stay that you have a four-wheel-drive or you will not get into the property. We had to backtrack and stay at the Best Western in Maggie Valley until things melted off the next day. But even that was a positive experience with comfortable rooms and free breakfast. We will definitely use Carolina Mountain Vacation properties in the future when looking for a vacation rental.

Family Time at its Finest

Our family, adults and children, enjoyed our stay and had everything we could have needed and more here. Kitchen is very well stocked from dishes to bakeware to utensils... it was perfect for any need our diverse family had. The bathrooms were very clean and nice sized. Bedrooms are cleN and comfortable. The porch was our favorite place. We even enjoyed the games in the living room. Valuable family time!

What a great location and view!

We had a great experience renting Fox Loop. Kitchen was well-stocked. House was clean and prepared upon our arrival. There were plenty of extra sheets, towels, blankets, and pillows. Owner was quick to respond to inquiries. The porch was so relaxing. We saw 6-7 elk around the house at one time. All in all, a great week at a great house.

Beautiful and Relaxing

A few times a year, my best girl friends and our pups like to go on a cabin trip to relax and craft. We always try different places but this is our favorite! The view is beautiful and the porch is amazing. We only had 3 chairs at the table outside which was weird and made it a little annoying with 4 of us wanting to eat together on the porch. Rooms were great, although the front bedroom is very small (lightswitch outside bedroom and only room for a small side table). The chairs and fire pit was perfect and we loved not having a ton of stairs. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Wish the fridge had an ice maker with water in the door, so we were glad we brought drinks. Had an amazing time, host was great, will definitely be back. Oh and we saw an elk on our way to breakfast today!! Amazing!

April 17th - 21st

We come up to Maggie Valley every year at the end of april for the Minitruck Nationals car show. This cabin fit our needs/wants and was overall great. Hot tub was wonderful and we really loved the big back porch. When we first arrived we didn't have any toliet paper but one quick phone call to paul and it was fixed in 5 minutes. He was great anytime i called with anything. Our stay was enjoyed. The driveway is a little small but we made it work. With the weather this year we didn't get to enjoy the outside fire pit but it was a nice set up. We can't wait to start looking for next year. Would def recommend this cabin to anyone!!

Lovely

Our family had a wonderful time! The cabin was clean and the kitchen was very well stocked. Plenty of things to do in the area, but the big draw is the quiet and the view! :) We cooked most of our meals at the cabin. Dogs had space to run around and we all enjoyed sitting by the fire each night. My only complaint is that the bedroom by the kitchen was very small and would get very cold unless you kept the door open at night. My brother didn't mind keeping the door open while he slept though so it was not a huge concern.

Fun place good price

The cabin was pretty much what was advertised. As noted by many others the internet does not work well. It was not a surprise to our group but is definitely something to know for the next customers to plan for. Additionally, there were mice in the cabin. There were traps out in the kitchen that were not safe for young children to be near. One evening we did not have the lid on the trash and the next morning we could tell that mice had gotten into it. Also, there were mice droppings in several of the kitchen cabinets. Aside from a small pest problem, great cabin, would rent again.

Lovely stay but not secluded

Overall we enjoyed our stay, but would have preferred something more private. Listing was accurate, it's my fault for not asking specific questions before booking. Property includes 2 other cabins and we shared a driveway with 1 of them, so we had more people around us than we'd hoped, but had the general area to ourselves for the most part. I don't imagine most people take a trip to a cabin on a mountain to have neighbors, but maybe that's just me. Again, not the fault of the hosts, just a heads up for anyone like us who's looking to getaway from people. The cabin itself was nice, stocked with everything I needed for cooking, great view from the deck, we enjoyed using the hot tub as well. Basic cable and the wifi worked well enough to post a picture or 2. There's plenty of hiking areas and rock shops nearby and Waynesville is roughly 20 minutes away. The only critique I'd like to offer is there was no paper towels, we were left an empty roll. It would have been nice if both bathrooms were properly stocked with toilet paper. I'd also recommend putting hand soap in both bathrooms and the kitchen, it would have been much more convenient.

Not bad. But not what was expected.

Well first and foremost I would like to mention that when we arrived the cabin was wide open and unlocked. It smelled of something burnt. The tvs were on in 2 rooms. We tried to call, because it sort of scared us and didn’t get an answer. There are huge potholes on the way up, so I wouldn’t drive a small car up. Be prepared to back up and back to make the tight turns. The reservation charges were more than expected and not the same as provided by Vrbo. Also be prepared to haul all your trash home with you or pay per bag to have it hauled up, so we basically cleaned the whole cabin for the cleaning person. There was trash left from those before us on the porch. I also had to request our security deposit back. Otherwise it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t what I a felt like was advertised. I probably wouldn’t stay here again, but if you like simple it is simple. It was not close to Cherokee as we were told when booked, but we made due. We went for a conference for work and ended up staying a lot further than we thought we were. Being pregnant, the smells that I think are just part of the house and all the turns in the driveway and the mugginess in the house was a bit uncomfortable and I found myself throwing up. A lot. Also, it was not welcoming to find so many signs with instructions all over the house. The directions on the shower wall when the shower wouldn’t turn off, was helpful but it would probably be better to just get that fixed because we still couldn’t get the shower to turn off when we followed them. It seems like quite a few people have enjoyed this place, but blame it on a group of professionals staying there. It wasn’t our cup of tea and we aren’t exactly uppity.

Fox Loop Getaway

We had four generations here for a four-day stay. Beds were a little soft and most were very high for my 88 yr old mom, but the view and location made up for it. Wonderful porch for hanging out, even in the rain. Great location for short hikes together, especially with my grandson.

Spring Break in the mountains

We had a lovely stay! Location was beautiful and cabin was charming. Only call out I would like to make is that the cabin is not a true 4 bedroom as advertised. The 4th bedroom if off of the kitchen and is a very small room that has just enough room to fit a queen bed (no closet).
