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.

We enjoyed staying at this beautiful cabin with awesome mountain views. The kitchen was well supplied, and layout was perfect for multiple "chefs". The interior of the cabin was charming, and both porches were very large and had magnificent views. We would love to stay here again.

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.

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!

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.
