Blackberry Lodge is the perfect home away from home!

We loved the peaceful setting of Blackberry Lodge. Coffee on the porch with the views of the mountains, the cows, and the elk was very relaxing. The cabin is beautifully decorated and provides all the amenities needed for cooking, relaxing, and visiting with family. The beds were super comfortable and provided a wonderful night’s rest each night. Our cabin was also very clean which was a huge bonus!

Wonderful place to stay with the best host in the valley!

We’ve vacationed in the Maggie Valley/Waynesville area for the last 13 years. With every stay we try to hone in on a little better location every time. Well, we’ve found it. Beautiful place, everything was perfect and we saw elk every day! To top it off, the host was so responsive and helpful it’s as tho she’s been a family friend for years! Totally awesome trip and we will be back time and time again! Nothing negative to say at all, only thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Perfection in the mountains

Blackberry Lodge was an exceptional place to spend our week riding all the Smokey Mountain roads. Great location for bikers with easy and, best of all, flat access. There's a nice wide driveway for parking , even if you're trailering. The cabin is super nice, super clean and super comfortable, and perfect for one to three couples. In our case we were three couples and had plenty of space. Also, our host Camelle, is awesome as well. Very attentive and very easy to communicate with. Can't recommend this property enough.

About the host

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.
