Was a wonderful stress-free stay. I cannot express enough how clean this place was for a person who has OCD this was just icing on the cake finally. It is very peaceful and very pleasant we will be back for sure.
We enjoyed our stay at Riley's Retreat. Everything was clean and organized. The living room reclining couches were great to relax on after a day of adventures. The beds were comfortable. It was a great place for old friends to meet up for fellowship and fun.
It surprised us how equipped the kitchen was. We brought things from home that we didn’t thinking would be provided, but they were! The view from the deck is phenomenal! The house was clean! Highly recommend.
The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our long weekend in the mountains. The area was private and quiet. The view was fantastic. Thomas, the host, was very responsive and answered all of our questions quickly. We would definitely go back.
Amazing host service and perfect house! The host was so incredibly responsive and helpful, and the house was ideal for our family of four. Super comfortable, awesome hot tub, and great location to explore Maggie Valley, Waynesville and the surrounding area. We want to come back!
Any questions we had we promptly answered, owner was courteous and patient, even when we queried him about where we might find elk.Delightful stay, would stay there again.
Lovely home furnished with anything you could need or want! And, close to everything we wanted to see. We enjoyed peak fall foliage during our stay, including from the deck of Riley’s Retreat. Thomas was a wonderful host- very quick to answer questions and provide advice. We will definitely make Riley’s Retreat our go to mountain cabin.
Cleanest rental and best bed we have ever stayed at!! The towels were fluffy and not washed to death. The hot tub was clean and perfect! Garbage bags, clothes and dishwasher liquids were provided as well as shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The whole place and the furniture looked brand new!!
This cabin is beautifully decorated and has all the little details like blankets on the couch and so much more. Also the kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need to cook, we did our grocery shopping at Publix. The bathroom has shampoo, conditioners, soap and blow dryers. The most exciting space is the deck, comfortable furniture with pillows and the hot tub to relax the stress away while enjoying the most amazing views of the mountains. We have amazing weather for Jan. so spent most of our time relaxing on the deck. Our girls trip at this cabin was perfect and we are already planning our next trip.
Absolutely the most beautiful house! So spacious and had everything we could possibly need!! The views from the porch and the hot tub made it even better!
Our stay at Riley's Retreat was very relaxing and enjoyable. The cabin was cozy and extremely clean. I loved the way it was decorated and the beds were so comfortable!! We will be back!
We had 4 adults and 1 child. Beautiful views, comfortable beds, very clean, handyman even called us before we got there. We loved it and are talking about going back.
We had an amazing time, between the cleanliness of the property, the great location and excellent communication with our host. 4x4 is a must if its snowing. The cabin was very clean and well presented. All the basic necessities were there. Amazing views! Absolutely our go to cabin!
The picture looks exactly like it is. The views are amazing. The house is very clean and spacious. The beds are comfortable. The patio is large and the patio furniture is very comfortable. Thomas was easy to contact. The driveway is tricky, we just took as wide a turn up as we could and drove up. It’s easier to turn around at the top and drive back down. Overall, if you are looking for a great view, relaxing environment, and a great place to stay, this is the place.
We loved our stay here. Very clean and comfortable. The house was stocked with everything you need. The only thing I would add to make the outdoor porch perfect would be an an electric or gas fire pit so you could enjoy in the colder weather.
The place was great, and everything as described. Will be back.

About the host
Hosted by Thomas
I’m a North Carolina local who has always enjoyed spending time in the mountains, and Riley’s Retreat is a place I take a lot of pride in maintaining for guests. My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and relaxing cabin experience where guests can truly unwind and enjoy everything Maggie Valley has to offer.
Whether you’re visiting for hiking, scenic drives, golf, skiing, or simply a quiet getaway, I want the cabin to feel easy, comfortable, and well cared for from the moment you arrive.
Why they chose this property
I chose this area because of the balance between mountain views, privacy, and convenience. The cabin is tucked just above Maggie Valley Country Club in a quiet setting, but still only a short drive from restaurants, hiking, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and downtown Waynesville.
One of the biggest advantages of this location is the easy access. Guests can enjoy the mountain atmosphere without dealing with steep or difficult roads that are common with many cabins in the area.
What makes this property unique
What makes Riley’s Retreat stand out is the combination of ridge views, privacy, easy access, and the overall condition of the cabin itself. The cabin feels fresh, clean, and well appointed throughout — something that can be hard to find with many mountain rentals in the area.
The cabin is one-level with paved access almost the entire way, strong Wi-Fi and cell service, TVs in every bedroom, and a Tesla Wall Connector on-site. Guests can relax in the private hot tub overlooking the mountains, enjoy the covered porch, and unwind in a space that is intentionally maintained to feel comfortable, peaceful, and cared for.
