Picturesque setting with unobstructed year round wide open mountain views of the famous WATERROCK KNOB. The cabin has approximately 1808 sq feet of living area, plus it has a large wrap around deck in the front, back, and side. The cabin has rustic charm with an amazing views of Waterrock Knob from all windows.

This home is amazing!

My family and I wanted to take a long weekend and get away from life's chaos. Not only was this home in a great location, it was beautiful, CLEAN and perfect for us. We drove to Cherokee one day and to Pigeon Forge the next day. The location of the cabin allowed us to enjoy other places, not just Maggie Valley. The cabin was more than I was expecting. You can tell the owner takes pride in their cabin all the way down to small things such as the fluffy pillows, providing extra towels, wash clothes and giving your family a welcome basket. They really care about their guest and it shows. I highly recommend this cabin. My family will definitely be back.

Perfect cabin

We've been coming to Maggie Valley for several years and usually stay in local motels. We opted to stay in a cabin this time and Camelle offered the perfect choice. So clean and the bed was extremely comfortable Loved the location! Beautiful views and even got to see elk grazing in the pasture across the street. We will definitely use Camelle for our next trip!

Loved out stay at Chestnut Lodge!

We’ve traveled to the Smokies for many years and only recently tried the Maggie Valley area. Chestnut Lodge is probably one of the best cabin rentals we’ve stayed at. All the furniture was updated and comfy. Since it was a little chilly we really liked using the gas fireplace. Fall colors were still beautiful and we watched the elk grazing in a nearby field. We can’t wait to return.

Christmas in the Mountains

The Chestnut Cabin was beautiful and everything was in perfect order. The Holiday decorations were the icing on the cake. It was so comfortable and relaxing. We saw Elk twice in the neighborhood, once there were 12 of them . It was another bonus. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area. We posted pictures on Facebook and all our friends were jealous of our Christmas vacation. See you next time.

Such a beautiful cabin and a peaceful setting

Everything was absolutely beautiful. After the year we have had so far losing our son in law, this place was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the quietness and beautiful setting. The owner has always been wonderful to work with. I have rented from her for several year. Thank you Camelle for sharing your beautiful cabin with my family. Nell

We had a great stay at this home. Everything was as described in the listing and met our needs perfectly. The location is very convenient. The owner was very responsive and helpful. And as we left on our last day, two large male elks were in the street, clashing their racks. Wow!

Great cabin.

Chestnut Lodge was truly wonderful. The majestic views are breathtaking. The Lodge is beautifully furnished and equipped with every amenity. We especially enjoyed rocking our cares away on the porch. We even had a visit from an elk munching on a pear tree across the road. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to come back. Deborah Soncha Nancy Beverly from Greenville, SC

About the host

Hosted by Camelle Reid-Blake

Host profile image
Willow Tree Cabins is a company I started because I wanted to manage my cabins myself so I could give PERSONAL SERVICE to my great guests. I own all five of may cabins so I want to make sure that all are maintained to the highest standards. I am from North Carolina and have lived in the mountains all my life. I bought this cabin in Maggie Valley because of the easy access to so many things to do. It is close my home in North Carolina so it's a great little weekend getaway. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It's cozy and unique in every way you can imagine...BEST OF ALL ~~ IT IS VERY CLEAN!!!

What makes this property unique

The thing I love most about staying at my cabin is that the feeling cozy comfort is all around. You never even have to leave the cabin if you just want to sit and relax. A desk table at one of the windows is the perfect spot to put my laptop when I need to do a little of my work. The back covered deck has rocking chairs to sit and rock the evening away. The early morning sunrise will take your breath away, as well as the smell of the cool morning dew.
