Loved this property. Easy to access, comfy beds and up close view of elk in our front yard was really exciting. The only thing I would recommend is electrical outlets and fans in the bathrooms and shower caddy in the downstairs bathroom.
My group and I enjoyed our stay in Maggie Valley. The cabin was very welcoming and comfortable. The only think I would have liked to see, is dish soap and maybe some other kitchen staples. Other than that, it was fantastic

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I do realize that this is a very old house, however, it is very close quarters. The floors were dirty when we arrived. Some of the towels looked used. We had to call the property owner for someone to come clean, which she did, but nothing more than sweep the floors. They were no better when she left than when she arrived. The staircase in this cabin is very steep and narrow. There were no pictures of the staircase in the listing. The downstairs bathroom floor was very soft, which made of have to use the upstairs shower. This house made me feel claustrophobic. This house definitely needs some upgrades.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had 6 adults in the cabin. The living area was spacious with a great fireplace and large tv. Downstairs bedrooms were very small with no closets. Upstairs bedrooms were more spacious but the shower in the bathroom was a challenge for the tall ones in our group. Grounds and porch were very nice. We had Elk pass through the cabin area right in front of us. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired. When we entered for the first time a dirty rag was on the table. Dirty socks were found in one of the beds. The return vent and fans blades hadn’t been dusted in months. We found a dog leash and diaper in the couch cushions when we were checking to make sure nothing was left behind. Location was great and we enjoyed our time together. Our two favorite places to eat were Joey’s Pancakes right down the hill and Haywood BBQ in Waynesville.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The sheets had dirt and anything animal hair in them. We also have a light that shows bodily fluids and yep it was there! When we called we where given clean sheets promptly. Later we realized there were ants, no coffee maker and stove and toaster oven was nasty! We didn’t have time to complain about that bc we were trying to make the best of what we realized will be the last time my father in law will ever be able to make it to his favorite place in the Mts. Maggie Valley!
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for 4 night in August 2020. Everything was so freaking filthy. Appliances were not clean. I refused to even cook there or even make a cup of coffee with their coffee maker. When I walken in first thing I had to do was clean the fridge. When I finally picked the bedroom the sheets were filthy all the way down to the mattress there was dirt. I had to go to Walmart and purchase bedding for my whole family. They don't have a washer and dryer. Had to buy a coffee pot just to have coffee. Spiders were making their selves at home all over the cabin. I had to buy cleaning supplies to just spend a couple nights there. I even found a nasty used bandaid on the wall by the fridge. I had to pay over $200 night for this place and spent over $600 in cleaning and bedding supplies. Air conditioning down stairs did not work. Just a nasty filthy place. Should not be listed to rent, should be bulldozed!
