Your mountain escape begins at this Waynesville cabin, nestled in the Cataloochee Hills 35 miles from Asheville. Mountain Gem is a two-story log home with cathedral ceilings and windows, a loft, a hot tub, and incredible views.

Step onto the wrap-around deck, with a 20-mile Smoky Mountain vista. Fire up the charcoal grill for barbecues, or gather around the fire pit for a marshmallow roast. A hot tub invites you to soak away your worries while gazing at the stars.

Indoors, the open-concept great room offers a warm and inviting space, and the fully equipped kitchen invites you to prepare meals for your group. In the loft, foosball tournaments await.

You'll find both a king and a queen bedroom on the main floor, a queen room upstairs, and a twin daybed with a trundle pull-out in the open loft.

Immerse yourself in nature while still enjoying access to the best of the surrounding area and attractions.

With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

    Beautiful location, and the cabin was nice overall. Great hot tub and view! The hosts were very responsive to some issues such as the washer not working (fixed promptly though) . We had a great time skiing and hiking. The place could use some upgrades such as new appliances. Could also use a deep clean.

    The accommodations were good with enough seating in the living room. The mountain view was pretty. We enjoyed our time in Maggie Valley. Thank you!

    I did not stay at the property because the TV was not working..no signal. The furniture was soiled and not pleasant. The closets were full of junk and equipment for cleaning the house. I did not want to put my nice clothes in the closets. The home is outdated. Nevertheless, we did not stay. As soon as we got there, I called the local folks who stated they could not get someone out there to try to fix the TV. We had traveled a long way and were tired but did not unpack...we left and stayed at a hotel in Asheville which was clean and everything worked. The avantstay person I spoke with was not empathetic. He stated I would not get a refund for the reasons I had stated. I am sorry but if the TV does not work, the furniture soiled and closets full of junk where you could not put your nice clothes that is not acceptable to me.

    We enjoyed our stay, beds were comfortable. House was very clean. Water pressure was great. Hot tub was awesome. Management of property was very responsive by text. A suggestion would be to get a window unit for the upstairs bedroom as we had to keep the downstairs uncomfortably cold to cool down the upstairs. Also we requested a remote control for the upstairs loft TV and it was dropped off the next morning, but we had to spend 45 minutes of our vacation time trying to connect it as it was kinda complicated for the old TV. It would have been nice if it would have been done for us is all. Thank you for opening your home.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We wanted to find a quiet mountain cabin with a view and proximity to the Cataloochee side of GSMNP, and this place served our needs very well. Close enough to town and interstate, but seemingly far enough from civilization to allow us to unplug and rest.

    Great property, well maintained and clean. Newer dishwasher would be a plus, and better kitchen pots, pans and knives would be a plus, but over all a great stay. Would definitely return.
