Great house, great location! We have been staying in Maggie for years. This is one of top rentals. Love that it has a gas fireplace, rooms were clean, not dated, and comfortable. Many times the lower level can feel tight and enclosed … this home’s lower level and lower rooms were open and bright. Great view from the balcony, and well appointed kitchen. Will be back.

We LOVE this cabin and this location. We have stayed here 3 times and it is always wonderful. Cabin is well stocked with kitchen items and has alot of space and beautiful view. We stayed for two weeks and would definitely rent this cabin again if they don't keep raising the prices. We skipped last year because of price and rented elsewhere and returned this year when the price came back down.

Lovely home for a relaxing getaway

Home was perfect location for a relaxing getaway. Elevation was high enough for privacy and nice long range views, and we found the short drive up the mountain was very manageable. Home was nicely decorated with a well stocked kitchen. Living room was well furnished with clean and very comfortable seating (something we greatly appreciate whether we're watching tv or just enjoying the fireplace). Easy drive to the quaint town of Waynesville and not too far from the interstate when we wanted to go to AVL. Overall, a great stay!

Great family vacation house in the mountains

My family absolutely loved staying here! The house is beautiful and so are the views. It's very cozy and central to lots of activities like hiking, elk viewing, gem mining and more. Will definitely consider returning again.a

The Best!

This cabin has a great layout and great location! It was clean and the check in was easy! The downstairs works so well for the kids. The porch was a perfect place for us to hangout. The open floor plan is comfortable and allows for everyone to be together whether watching tv or in the kitchen or working on puzzles. We have stayed here twice and would definitely book again!

We enjoyed staying at this beautiful cabin with awesome mountain views. The kitchen was well supplied, and layout was perfect for multiple "chefs". The interior of the cabin was charming, and both porches were very large and had magnificent views. We would love to stay here again.

Great Fall getaway

We were blessed to stay right at the start of the Fall color season. We really enjoyed the stunning morning mountain view with a good cup of coffee on the large deck. This cabin was a convenient drive to Maggie Valley and Waynesville with never more than 10 minutes or so to restaurants or attractions, while still feelin secluded on the mountain. This is definitely on our list of places we want to stay again!

Perfect for a family getaway! The house met our expectations! Especially, the location.

We mostly explored. The Blue Ridge Parkway was amazing. We chased waterfalls and enjoyed hiking. We got to enjoy both winter and spring with 70 degrees weather to snow flurries. The house was totally equipped with all our needs.

wonderful accomodations

The location was nice for us. Nice restaurants located in Waynesville and Maggie Valley. My husband went on day hikes with the dogs. I was in recovery mode for a knee replacement, so I stayed around the house and rested, did my exercises and read. Very pleasant surroundings.

Beautiful Cabin and Excellent View

We were very happy with our stay at this location. Plenty of parking and very spacious cabin. It was clean and well-stocked for our stay and very good instructions for everything. The view was amazing, TV's all worked well and was very clean for a cabin that allows pets. Great location and well-paved driveway. It was steep but easy to travel and we had no issues hauling our 5 x 8 trailer with our vehicle up the hill. We would definately stay here again.

Beautiful Views

The house was gorgeous and well furnished, and the views are amazing. The road to the house was steep and narrow but overall pretty manageable. The only downside of our stay was the extensive amount of cleaning expected when we already paid a substantial cleaning fee (laundry, dishes, hauling trash to the dump or paying an additional fee).

So Comfy for a Group

We arrived to find the property just as we expected. Everything was ready and inviting. (Note that the bed in the room with bunk beds is a full and didn’t sleep 2 adults but we made it work.) We did have a short term problem with the refrigerator and we’re very impressed that the property manager, Melissa, took care of it very efficiently. Thank you! Our stay was so much fun!

Great location, fabulous view!

This house is beautiful! It is the last house at the top of a curvy quiet road. Their are neighbors below you but you are hard pressed to see them and we never heard them. We did hear a lot of wild turkeys though! The location is convenient to Waynesville, so we got to enjoy several restaurants like Boojum Brewery, Chef’s Table and Frog Level Brewery ( we went to others but those three shouldn’t be missed). Even though it was April, it was snowing when we arrived. The hot tub was incredible in the snow!!
