Cozy cabin, but hot tub and shower wasn't hot enough. Check-in process could be easier if we didn't have to go back and forth between the office and cabin. Ended up leaving the night before check-out day. We appreciate the space and plenty of rooms and beds and how close it is to the ski resort.
Great location, easy access to scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, many other locations as well as access to the wedding Venue in Asheville. Walking distance from shopping & restaurants, small town coziness, weather was perfect for all things outdoors. Will definitely stay again.
The cabin was in a great location with everything nearby. It was clean and spacious. Our group usually stays in different motels around the area but the cabin provided a place we could all stay under the same roof which gave us the chance for more and better socializing.
We will definitely consider staying there again.
Overall a cozy cabin. Right on the main street, mini golf right next door, fun little spot. The cabin could use some updating and TVs in the bedrooms would have been nice also more outdoor seating. We all did have a good time.
eveything went pretty well except for running out of hot water but there were 13 of us so we waited in between showers i had to fix the oven door and the microwave door needs repair other than that we had a great time,the location was perfect i would return in the future
Over all we were very happy with our stay. The location was very convenient to everything being it was it was in the center of Maggie Valley. Having five bedrooms was a definite plus for everyone and parking was easy. Things that need improvement are - pots and pans in kitchen have definitely seen their day, lighting up stairs over the pool table is very poor and lastly the front bedroom (1st floor could use a new mattress, when you lie down you roll towards the middle. Overall everyone was very happy with the accommodations and would absolutely use this property again.

We have rented this cabin countless times and it is always a relief when we arrive it truly is our "home away from home". We enjoy the calm peaceful porch sitting it offers and the location to the fair grounds is perfect. Just a short walk and we can attend events there. Added bonus this trip a new Breakfast location has opened across the street and the food there is amazing and we walked over easily even with our daughter's wheelchair! And we got to play Putt Putt also within walking distance!! Another Maggie Valley getaway in the books and YES we will be renting this cabin again when we visit the area again!

This place was super clean. Has 7 beds so we brought a couple air mattress so we didn’t have to bunk with a buddy. plenty of space for that. location is right on the main drag which was what i wanted as we rode our bikes to cherhola,tail of dragon,foothills parkway and every wrong turn. Didn’t use the hot tub but heard it running. ac worked great. was able to park 3 trucks and trailers. I highly recommend this place and will return next time down that way. Price was great too.

Our stay was scheduled for one of the worst winter weather spells our region had seen in a long time. We had originaly booked another cabin. Carolina Vacation rentals reached out to us ahead of arrival and explained that our booked cabin may not be accessible due to the snow and ice and that he had a "backup " cabin ready to go. We tried and could not reach the first cabin, so we checked into "Heart of the Valley" which was a free upgrade. Clean spacious cabin that stayed toasty even in sub-zero weather. the only reason I wouldn't reccomend this spot is if you want privacy. It is right in the middle of town on the main drag and convienent to everything, just not secluded. Huge thank you to Carolina Vacations for taking such good care of us. I would definately stay here again.

This is our 2nd year staying at the "Heart of the Valley". The space is very accommodating for large groups/families. The front porch is one of our favorite spots. The location is perfect. Some restaurants and shops are within walking distance. We are looking forward to staying again in 2024.

This is our second time staying here. We are already talking about coming back. The house is perfect location. There were 15 of us that stayed here completely comfortable. We snow tube the first night. And went up the mountain the other days. The kids had a blast in the hot tub every night. And played pool every night also.
Was a spectacular place to stay, cabin was clean, accommodations were perfect, management was spectacular, can’t say enough.
Loved the hot tub and the two kitchens were perfect since we travel in a group!
Will surely be booking again for next year!!

This house is good for a large group.The layout is a bit weird but doable. Owner needs to put some money back into it.
The best thing about this property was the ease of doing fun things together at the house. We watched the World Cup final on the TV, played billiards, and enjoyed the hot tub. It was a great stay.
Cabin was family friendly. Hot tub was nice.Plenty of towels, blankets, sheets, comforters, pillows. Very soft, comfortable beds. Air conditioning and ice makers worked well. No dish washer. Was confused on what to do with garbage.
