The cabin was great. Located high on a hill with beautiful views. There is another house pretty close. (no one was there while we were) Beds were comfy. Internet was good. Had everything we needed and was close to lots of things to do.

If you want seclusion, this is it! Very quite except the wonderful sounds of the woods and creek nearby. Very clean. No sighting of wildlife at cabin. Very close to Maggie Valley. The cabin could use some more kitchen cooking utensils, but overall very satisfied with the cabin. The road the cabin is on is a very tricky left hand turn, you will most likey have to turn in and back up a few times to get a full sized truck up it. There is not much trafic on the road, so you should be good. Also the driveway is shared with another cabin, so it could be tricky with several vehicles. Not much room to park for both cabins. All in all I would recommend.

Christmas in Maggie Valley

Lovely time with several family members in a fully equipped mountain cabin. Enjoyed the quiet and dark skies with a true view of the array of stars we miss in our urban environment. Easy 20 minute drive to groceries. House was clean and well maintained. Appreciated the hot tub and the WiFi. Will try to come again.
