About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy mountain retreat overlooking long-range mountain views.

YOU ARE RENTING THE DOWNSTAIRS at Qualla Cabin, which is located in a secluded mountain area just west of the town of Maggie Valley, on the border of the Cherokee Reservation. The entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway is minutes away, for unlimited mountain cruising and hiking in the Great Smoky National Park. Maggie Valley offers Cataloochee Ski Lodge, Wheels Through Time motorcycle museum, snow tubing, a variety of restaurants and pubs, and shopping. Visit the casino in Cherokee, or head to Asheville for the day. Enjoy long-range mountain vistas from the comfort of the full-length, ground-level deck while sipping your favorite beverage. Watch and listen to abundant bird life. It's not uncommon to catch a glimpse of elk or black bears that share the mountain with us. Hummingbirds flit from feeder to feeder, as do Golden finches, Nuthatches, Cardinals, Bluebirds and the Tufted Titmouse . You won't want to miss the spectacular sunsets on display nightly, or watch storms roll in through the valley. There is a lot to do if you choose, but it's also the perfect place to slow down and just breathe!

Breathtaking Stay at Qualla Cabin – A Smoky Mountains Gem!

We had such a great time staying at Qualla Cabin in the Smoky Mountains. The view from the porch was absolutely incredible, you could see for miles, and watching the sunset with a drink in hand was something we’ll never forget.The cabin was super clean, the bed was really comfortable, and it had everything we needed. You can tell it’s well taken care of.Captain Tony and his wife Nancy were the best hosts we’ve ever had. They were so friendly and helpful—gave us great tips on where to hike, where to spot elk and bears, and even recommended some awesome places to eat and shop nearby.The location was perfect. It’s only a few minutes from the entrance to the national park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is just down the road. We ended up driving that way a lot because the views, waterfalls, and winding mountain roads were way more fun than the main highway.There were plenty of great places to eat, especially some nearby brewpubs with good food and outdoor seating. And we can’t forget Joey’s in Maggie Valley, one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in a long time.If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing views and great hosts, this is the spot. We’re already talking about coming back!

Heavens window

Our anniversary getaway at Captain Tony and Nancy's beautiful mountain home was everything we could have hoped for and more.Their place was spotless, cozy, and so thoughtfully prepared-it instantly felt like a home away from home. We loved every moment, from peaceful walks along the Oconaluftee River and relaxing time at Lake Junaluska, to exploring the charm of downtown Waynesville with its great food and local shops.It was the perfect mix of nature, comfort, and small-town magic. We're already looking forward to our next trip back to this wonderful state filled with kind-hearted people

Excellent!

The cabin was great as were the hosts. Everything was clean, private, and well maintained. The hosts went above and beyond for us. We had to find a place quickly because my husband’s brother took a turn for the worse and we got there just in time to say goodbye. Capt. Tony bought a sympathy card and treats for my pups. The special little touches like fresh flowers in the kitchen, bathroom, and front porch made it welcoming and homey. He was very helpful with restaurant advice and things to do that I hope to one day be able to do. The reason for the visit was the only downside.

One Fine Stay!

We had a great overall experience, “dandy” in the words of my wife! The property was clean and the hosts were friendly and very communicative. There are excellent views and it is in a good location relative to places like Asheville, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cherokee, Waynesville, and more! The only real downside to the property is the road up to the house. The last mile and a half or so is unpaved and fairly loose. If you have an SUV or truck it will not be an issue. Anyone with a smaller two wheel drive car May struggle on the road, especially in bad weather. Overall great stay!

Wonderful Second Stay

Captain Tony and Nancy are exceptional and highly attentive hosts. This is our second visit as we enjoyed our stay from last year so much. The property is very comfortable, has all the amenities, and the mountain views are magnificent. Captain Tony is extremely helpful, offering great recommendations for both dining out and sightseeing. We brought our dog, Sophie, and Tony gave us good recommendations for hikes and restaurants that allowed us to include her. Tony and his wife, Nancy, are incredibly gracious, and words can’t fully capture just how wonderful they are.

Tony and Nancy are incredible hosts and even better people who will make sure you want or need for nothing during your visit! The Cabin is perfectly secluded up in the mountains and travel to and from town is very easy. Without question, we will be back for a third time ASAP!

Great Weekend Getaway!

We were in for a long weekend getaway. The cabin was beautiful! It was clean and beautifully decorated. New appliances in the kitchen; a beautiful live edge countertop in the bathroom and a great gas heater in the living space. The cabin was well stocked. Books and games are available when you return back in from your sight seeing adventures. A warm shower with strong water pressure is a great end to a fun-filled day! Nice, comfortable bed and plenty of pillows gets you ready for a new adventure the next day. I would highly recommend a stay at Qualla Cabin.

Lovely Mountain Retreat!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Quallah Cabin with Capt. Tony and his wife, Nancy. Communication with the hosts was very clear and prompt. Getting to the cabin was easy, and we were able to take a route up the mountain that did not need 4-wheel drive. Inside, the cabin was very quiet and private feeling. The kitchen had everything you'd need to cook an easy meal and it was very well organized. I appreciated that they provided some decaf coffee packets. The view from the cabin was phenomenal and we enjoyed watching the sunset each evening. They had a nice porch with rocking chairs and a swing, and we were able to watch the birds on their bird feeder! Definitely a 5-star accommodation!

Fall getaway in the Smoky Mountains

Captain Tony was very attentive. The property was super clean and cozy. My wife and I along with our pup stayed for three nights while visiting friends in Waynesville. The views from the property are spectacular and the location is secluded. I loved the location, but I would caution those without four wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles. We have a pickup and had no issues, but it could be tricky for a rear wheel drive only vehicle. All in all a great trip!
