About this property
Buck Horn Lodge Private Residence at 3800' w/ sunset views of Maggie Valley, NC
**January-February: Weather conditions may affect availability** Buck Horn Lodge is located at 3800' above Maggie Valley with spectacular views of downtown Maggie Valley as well as near and distant mountains. We are located near the end of the road with no other homes in view where the cool breezes blow.
The secluded home is furnished with everything you need for a relaxed vacation.
In the kitchen there's a range, refrigerator w/ice maker, microwave, blender, toaster, Keurig & coffee pot w/filters, toaster oven, toaster, lots of pots and pans, dishes and silverware.
The large dining room table seats 8 and there's a table on the deck for outside meals. Also on the deck are 6 rocking chairs for reading, morning coffee, or afternoon relaxing. The night time view of the valley with the lights is spectacular.
The living room features a large fireplace (firewood is furnished), 2 leather recliners, a love seat leather recliner, two Lazy Boy recliners, and a smart tv. WIFI is provided. You can log into your streaming services on all televisions in the house.
This home is NOT motorcycle friendly due to the curves and rough gravel.
Featuring a large Master Bedroom with it's own private deck. You can enjoy your morning coffee in the King size bed and watch the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks play on the deck. There are hummingbird feeders with lots of hummingbirds flying back and forth feeding. In the evening you can retreat to the bedroom and enjoy the electric fireplace, watch TV, or enjoy the view of downtown Maggie Valley at night. The Master Bath features a large shower and spacious vanity. There's plenty of space for your clothes in the walk-in closet. There is an A/C for times when the cooling breezes are not cool enough (which doesn't happen very often).
Upstairs there are two large bedrooms each with a kingsize bed. Each room has a smart TV. These two bedrooms share a bathroom with a tub/shower that is located between the bedrooms. Each bedroom has it's own A/C unit for the rare night when they are needed.
The basement has a small bedroom with a queen size bed. This bedroom has it's own private bath with a shower. Just outside the bedroom is a sitting room with a smart TV.
There is also a washer/dryer downstairs (bring your own laundry detergent).
Located in the garage is a gas grill and a charcoal grill(bring your own charcoal) for cooking out and a ping pong table (the paddle boards are not included with the house).
If you are looking for some exercise take a walk to the top of the mountain. It's about 1 1/2 miles and in the summer you can pick blackberries to eat or make a blackberry cobbler. When you get to the top the views are spectacular. Be sure and take some water.
Maggie Valley has lots of shops and restaurants. There's two parks on Jonathan Creek, one on each end of the strip, where the kids can play in the cold water creek.
Also nearby is Waynesville with more shopping and dining; Lake Junaluska for beautiful walks around the lake, tenis/pickleball courts, paddleboard/kayak renals; Cataloochee Valley where you can view the elk in the evening and tour old homesteads; the Blue Ridge Parkway with its views; Harrah's Casino in Cherokee; Biltmore Estate in nearby Asheville; Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and lots of hiking trails and waterfalls.

What makes this property unique
We love the secluded home with fabulous views of downtown Maggie. The sunsets are gorgeous and some mornings, the clouds cover the valley. We have wild turkeys who visit the driveway at times. You might even see an elk or deer on the road up the mountain.
