Sugar Cabin exceeded our expectations; very well stocked and super clean. The immense quiet was perfect. We stayed two weeks with the 2nd week giving us cool mornings and evenings. The fireplace was a treat! The proximity to waterfalls, hikes, sightseeing was perfect. Highly recommend.

Perfect mountain getaway

This beautiful cabin is well equipped and has everything we could have asked for in a vacation home. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the porch after returning from day trips to Great Smoky Mountains NP and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Perfect for our needs

This little cabin was the ideal location for us to stay during a family gathering. Close enough to everyone that we could be together in 10 to 15 minutes but located on a lovely wooded stretch of road without a lot of traffic. We had everything we needed and the place was in top-notch condition. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Getaway

Mountain Springs Cabis is as advertised. Homey, well appointed, near to many things yet private enough to feel like you are away from the world. Easy access to highways, Maggie Valley and surrounding areas. A perfect place to get away from it all.

From the get go I knew we were going to have a great stay. Working with the owner was beyond superb. She responded within minutes of my request. The property was as clean as it could possibly be. It was beautifully decorated and appointed, quiet and peaceful. We had a truly wonderful experience. Thanks to the owner and her team.

This was my first time staying in a private home vs a hotel. I have nothing bad to say or nothing to suggest about this property. Our stay was perfect. All you need are your personal items and groceries if you want to stay in and relax. The porch was my favorite spot to be. Without a doubt; I would stay at this property again. The owner did not disappoint. EXCELLENT JOB!!!!

Magically Peaceful

My wife and I Had a very peaceful and relaxing time at this place. We had been touring the area from Charleston to Columbia to Charlotte and then to Ashville and it seemed like every where we went, it was chaos with the traffic, so coming to this cabin was definitely what we needed to get away from all the noise and bad drivers. This cabin sets in the perfect place if you just want peace and quiet. We watched the humming birds in the morning and enjoyed the fire flies at night. We couldn't have booked the more perfect place. Thank you Maria.

Everything Perfect Except the Pillows

Beautiful cabin, perfect for myself, my daughter, and son-in-law, for a few days. The welcome gift of a bottle of wine was a nice touch. The cabin was very clean, and everything worked. Relaxing on the porch was a bonus. Comfortable beds, horrible pillows. If you like a soft or feather pillow you will have to bring your own. The driveway is steep and room for only one car to turn around, room for two cars for parking at the top.

Small but good

This is a nice, small cabin. The cabin was very clean when we arrived and getting in was easy. The roads to access the property are good and not too challenging for the mountains. The driveway is steep but short so as long as the weather is good there are no issues there. WiFi worked well and the gas logs were a great addition. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans if you want to cook, but Waynesville is just down the road if you prefer to eat out. Be aware that this cabin is in a neighborhood, so if you're looking for a secluded place this isn't it. If you don't mind other cabins/houses nearby this is a great choice that we would book again without any concerns.

Lovely Property

Spent a long week at Sugar Cabin. Spotlessly clean. Well equipped with quality linens and furnishings. The kitchen has all the basics for cooking. Great porch area, woodsey views, clean bathrooms, wonderful beds and not too far from town. The property manager was very friendly and responded promptly. Would have extended our stay, and did so by a day, but sadly new guests were on the way. The driveway is a bit of a challenge, but just take it slow and you will be fine. Not too secluded but still feels private. There is a horse farm nearby and the horses and riders use the roads so take it easy. There are but four steps with banisters into the cabin so access is pretty good with all rooms on one level. This was great for my new knee. Would rent again.
