About this property

Just Built New Cabin In the Valley Year Round Access, The Barn Owl

The Barn Owl Cabin that is truly in the valley of Maggie Valley. Owl-Valley Properties cabins are nestled in the quiet community of Crocket's Meadow. The 1,500 square foot Barn Owl Cabin features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and can sleep up to 6 adults with two king sized beds (1 is electric) and 2 adult twin beds. Each room has large windows and natural light thru out. You can sleep looking out to the snow or rain falling and wake up to the sunrise; Or just close the blackout curtains and sleep in.

Our kitchen is fully equipped with a Keurig coffee maker and a drip coffee maker and all the essentials to cook your breakfast; Or you can go to local favorite Joey's Pancake House minutes from the cabin. We have a dinning table that can comfortably sit 6. Also, a convenient large island for food prep or shopping bags drop off with bar stools for two for extra sitting.

There is so much to do here in the Smoky Mountains and we are next to the Smoky Mountain National Park and Cherokee Reservation and Casino. You have skiing, golfing, hiking, horseback riding, shopping and craft shows. The annual Folk Moot Festival with multiple international artists is a great cultural experience that is performed next door in Waynesville. Maggie Valley has many year-round festivals now including the Elk Fest in the Fall. Within an hour and half or shorter driving distance there is Asheville, Biltmore Estate, Lake Fontana for kayaking and boat rentals, Nantahala River for rafting/tubing and fishing. You can still be home by dinner for that nice slow cooked meal you started in the morning.

If you just want to relax and stay in the cozy Barn Owl Cabin, you may want to sit out on the rocking chair on the deck and watch the colorful leaves drift in the fall. You may even see an elk herd walking by. Inside, we have a loft with a desk, chair and a recliner chair for those who need to get away for a moment and read, write or work. Our living room has a couch with 2 recliners and 2 swivel chairs where you can watch your favorite shows on cable TV including a premium channel, Starz. Here, we don't have the rain or snow satellite worries. We like the cabin, but without the cabin fever.

We want to have our guests have easy access to the Smoky Mountain view without the worry. Can your car make it or will you get stuck or trapped because of the scary drive? No stuck cars here, our roads are plowed in the winter by the city and we are a biker friendly community.

For the friends and family, right next door Owl-Valley Properties has another brand new cabin, The Red Fox with all the same amenities.

Come and see from your cabin window, the beautiful elevated views of the mountains surrounding you and have the true valley experience.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The cabin was beautiful, well-appointed, very clean with all the amenities, including very comfortable beds. The neighborhood was quiet with nice couples for neighbors on both sides. The hosts were responsive & caring and went above and beyond to make things right when we experienced a relatively minor issue with the front door. We enjoyed our visit so much that we plan to book this same cabin for next year's event.

Home Away from Home

This cabin offered everything you needed to feel right at home. We enjoyed the comfortable seating and beds. The cabin was very clean. We enjoyed grilling in the afternoons and watching the elk leisurely walk through the beautiful neighborhood. We hope to be back soon!

Fantastic place

My family visited Maggie Valley to ski, and the location is perfect. Sven is an excellent host and the home is fantastic! Everything was immaculate, the kitchen was well-stocked, the furniture was comfortable, and the house was nicely decorated. The neighborhood is quiet with a beautiful view of the mountains. We would 100% stay there again.

This was our 4th time in this beautiful cabin. As in the past, it was wonderful. You can't beat the view, the location or the comfort of this cabin. Nothing has been forgotten. We had our families next door and theirs was just as perfect. We will be back again for our new family vacation tradition!

Perfect Cabin

I have stayed in quite a few VRBO rentals over the years, I can say without hesitation that this was my favorite place. The cabin was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked. They thought of everything you need to be comfortable. Sven was very responsive and helpful. We stayed here to go skiing at Catalooche. It was an easy 5 - 10 minute drive.

Our Happy Place!

We love coming here! It’s always just about perfect. Our only comment this time is that the upstairs toilet wasn’t clean. It may have been sitting unflushed for a while and perhaps the water discolored the bowl. However….it was minor. We have stayed in this cabin at least 4 times and will stay again, no doubt. Can’t beat the view!!

Beautiful Cabin Home

Our stay was amazing. My husband and I took my elderly parents to the mountains to see the fall colors. They stayed downstairs in the primary bedroom with attached bath and walk-in shower (also had an adjustable bed which was great). My husband and I stayed upstairs and that bed was extremely comfortable as well. There was a 3rd bedroom with bunk beds (we didn’t use this room) and small loft area. The kitchen was well-appointed, communication with owner was prompt and the property was peaceful, quiet and we enjoyed the front and back porch. We were able to see elk nearby, drove the Blue Ridge Parkway which was stunning, went to Cherokee casino, rode the train in Bryson. There is also plenty of fishing nearby and don’t miss Joey’s Pancake House just down the road. Best breakfast! We hope to stay again at this warm and inviting cabin.

Great Cabin & Expereince

My stay at this property was amazing! The description on the booking site was accurate! We enjoyed the fireplace and the modernized cabin feel it gave off. The kitchen was stocked with every utensil and cookware we could have imagined and needed. The host provided a very detailed binder of house rules, instructions, and most important emergency contact information! The neighborhood was quiet and clean as well. The only thing I would say I had difficulting working the thermostat. I'm not sue if it was controlled by a lock or the system. But overall, it was a great stay and the host was very punctual!

About the host

Hosted by Sven and Jennifer Uellendahl

Host profile image
Sven was born and raised in Dusseldorf, Germany. He moved to the US in 1990 where he met his wife Jennifer. Jennifer was born in New Mexico and was raised in Florida. We married in 2009 and moved from Florida to North Carolina in 2011. Sven retired as an Airline Captain and Jennifer still works as an Tax Expert for a Multi-National Tax and Software Company.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for an investment property close to our home in Waynesville, NC. The Crokett's Medow neighborhood seemed to be ideal. Its quiet, well maintained and easy to get to. The roads are kept free of snow by the town of Maggie Valley. There is city water and sewer. The lawns are well kept by HOA and the views are great.
When two brand new cabins, still under construction, were offered to us, we jumped at the opportunity and bought both of them.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is brand new. Jennifer furnished and decorated the cabin in a modern mountain look. All furniture is high quality and new.
