Lovely home for a relaxing getaway

Home was perfect location for a relaxing getaway. Elevation was high enough for privacy and nice long range views, and we found the short drive up the mountain was very manageable. Home was nicely decorated with a well stocked kitchen. Living room was well furnished with clean and very comfortable seating (something we greatly appreciate whether we're watching tv or just enjoying the fireplace). Easy drive to the quaint town of Waynesville and not too far from the interstate when we wanted to go to AVL. Overall, a great stay!

Amazing view!

We were in NC for our daughter’s wedding and this was the perfect place to soak in the mountain views with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. You would never need to leave the porch!

Great Fall getaway

We were blessed to stay right at the start of the Fall color season. We really enjoyed the stunning morning mountain view with a good cup of coffee on the large deck. This cabin was a convenient drive to Maggie Valley and Waynesville with never more than 10 minutes or so to restaurants or attractions, while still feelin secluded on the mountain. This is definitely on our list of places we want to stay again!

The Best!

This cabin has a great layout and great location! It was clean and the check in was easy! The downstairs works so well for the kids. The porch was a perfect place for us to hangout. The open floor plan is comfortable and allows for everyone to be together whether watching tv or in the kitchen or working on puzzles. We have stayed here twice and would definitely book again!

Perfect for a family getaway! The house met our expectations! Especially, the location.

We mostly explored. The Blue Ridge Parkway was amazing. We chased waterfalls and enjoyed hiking. We got to enjoy both winter and spring with 70 degrees weather to snow flurries. The house was totally equipped with all our needs.

Beautiful Cabin and Excellent View

We were very happy with our stay at this location. Plenty of parking and very spacious cabin. It was clean and well-stocked for our stay and very good instructions for everything. The view was amazing, TV's all worked well and was very clean for a cabin that allows pets. Great location and well-paved driveway. It was steep but easy to travel and we had no issues hauling our 5 x 8 trailer with our vehicle up the hill. We would definately stay here again.

Great location, fabulous view!

This house is beautiful! It is the last house at the top of a curvy quiet road. Their are neighbors below you but you are hard pressed to see them and we never heard them. We did hear a lot of wild turkeys though! The location is convenient to Waynesville, so we got to enjoy several restaurants like Boojum Brewery, Chef’s Table and Frog Level Brewery ( we went to others but those three shouldn’t be missed). Even though it was April, it was snowing when we arrived. The hot tub was incredible in the snow!!

Spacious and quiet place for families

This home was described accurately and was very well appointed. There was very little we found ourselves looking for during our stay. The proerty management team was very responsive. We left feedback for the owners that was very minimal and would recommend this properly for anyone looking to be tucked away from the bustle of the towns and a quiet place to relax. Plenty of towels, linens, and homey amenities. Hot tub was a huge plus with the cold weather during our stay. Drive up and down to the property was not terribly challenging. We had ladybug visitors that did not bother us, but as this is a mountain side property it’s expected to have little visitors from time to time.

Teachers have Spring Break also

Very nice house that the two of us enjoyed very much. Nice views from the living areas, convenient to Waynesville, short trip to Ashville and several trails in NE GSMNP. We have rented several houses in the NC GSMNP (Bryson City, Sylvia, Alarka) region and would rate this house as one of the best. The hot tub was very nice and we did enjoy its use. One word of caution, as explained to us by management company, if you are coming in on a back to back weeks the hot tub takes time to reheat after servicing. In our case it was at 100f at 10PM , still too cold for my liking. A minor disappointment that would have been a nice to know in advance. By the next morning it was at 104F and no further issues. Overall experience was great and definitely would recommend.

Even better than the listing & pictures!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this home and would strongly recommend the property. First, it was very CLEAN, which is a must for us. The property is much nicer than the pictures and we felt immediately at home. The hot tub worked perfectly, and the porch was large, in great shape, and had lots of seating.. The gas grill and games (ping pong and foosball) were fun! We used the fire pit and enjoyed sledding down the hill when it snowed the first day. Location is very good. Easy access to downtown Waynesville and Maggie Valley, and also made day trips to Asheville, Sylva, Dillsboro, Cherokee, Smoky Mountain National Park, Max Patch, and Blue Ridge Parkway. All of these places in less than a week proves the location is very strong. Cabin had everything we needed and was so comfortable. Great wifi and streaming tv offerings. Fire wood provided for the fire pit for an extra fee. Peaceful and private. View was also good considering how close you are to downtown, shopping, grocery stores, etc. Would definitely recommend and return again. Enjoy!

Great property and location

The cabin was exactly what we were expecting, and more. It is easy to get to and we had cell service the entire week (Verizon). The house was very clean and well-appointed, and everything worked as expected. The hot tub was already warmed up for us also so we could relax after a long drive. The house is at the very end of a winding and sometimes steep paved road, but nothing scary or impassable. It could be a little intimidating in the snow or ice, but it was perfect conditions for our week in the end of March. It was so nice having the privacy without having to drive miles and miles into the mountains. Check-in process was perfect and everything was laid out in a folder left for us, which answered pretty much any questions we had. The area right outside the property is mostly rural with some trailer lots, but nothing that is an eyesore from the property. Maggie Valley and Waynesville are a short drive away and have restaurants and grocery stores. I reccomend going to Cataloochee Valley for hiking and elk watching, and for a very challenging drive on a twisty dirt road in the mountains. Its not far from the cabin, but ends up being about a half hour due to the driving in the mountains. We would happily recommend the house to anyone looking for a vacation in the "mountains" without worrying about needing an ATV to get there. :)

Great house, great location! We have been staying in Maggie for years. This is one of top rentals. Love that it has a gas fireplace, rooms were clean, not dated, and comfortable. Many times the lower level can feel tight and enclosed … this home’s lower level and lower rooms were open and bright. Great view from the balcony, and well appointed kitchen. Will be back.

We LOVE this cabin and this location. We have stayed here 3 times and it is always wonderful. Cabin is well stocked with kitchen items and has alot of space and beautiful view. We stayed for two weeks and would definitely rent this cabin again if they don't keep raising the prices. We skipped last year because of price and rented elsewhere and returned this year when the price came back down.
