Roughin' it - Secluded, Rustic 2 BR / 1 BA Mountain Cabin, Hot Tub, Private

You must have a four wheel drive, road was rocky as expected. Good gravel & rain runoff good. Floors were a little dirty, socks showed it, but also to be expected. Bathroom toilet sure needs to be tightened to the floor. Hot tub was excellent & clean. Remember to use the turn around at the top, it makes getting in the right direction a lot better.

Overall a good experience. Definitely nice and secluded. 4 wheel drive 100% required! I did not realize check in was offsite back in town so had to drive all the way back down the mountain to go check in. But maybe i missed that in an email somewhere. I would say the worst part of the property is the toilet situation. It moves around so much plus the door hits it. Other than that, it was a nice property. The contact was very responsive!

Had another great time at Roughin It Nice cool weather and scenery around the area

This cabin is incredibly peaceful and beautifully located on the side of a mountain. The cabin itself is well laid out with two bedrooms and a loft, offering plenty of room for a family.However, be prepared: the cabin has a strong, unpleasant smell. Bring air fresheners and candles. Only a few windows have screens, making it hard to air out. The coffee pot also made terrible-tasting coffee—I ended up buying one during the trip, so definitely bring your own to avoid that extra cost.You must have a 4WD vehicle to get there. I off-road my Jeep Wrangler, and this was still a challenge! It takes about 5 minutes to get off the mountain, so bring everything you need with you.

I’d like to share our recent experience at the “Roughin’ It” cabin in Maggie Valley, NC, which had its ups and downs.First, I want to commend Maggie Mountain Vacations for their excellent management. Tammy was particularly helpful, reaching out two weeks before our stay to confirm our reservation and inform us about a temporary DirectTV issue. Although we faced problems with our original cabin, they offered an alternative, albeit a significant downgrade, and we encountered heating issues on our first night.Regarding the cabin itself, be warned: a 4x4 vehicle is necessary for accessing the property. Our AWD vehicle struggled with the mountain road, as many reviews have indicated.Sadly, our stay was marred by several issues. We had no hot water for our entire visit, which was frustrating for our family. Additionally, we dealt with a mouse problem that resulted in lost snacks, forcing us to store food in the fridge and microwave. The kitchen sink drain was also disconnected, leading to leaks and unpleasant odors. My husband managed to fix it, but that shouldn't have been necessary.In summary, while the management company was fantastic, the “Roughin’ It” cabin needs significant repairs before it’s ready for guests. Until the hot water and mouse issues are resolved, we believe it should not be rented out.On a positive note, the homeowner issued us a refund, and we only had to pay for the less desirable cabin

This property was just as advertised. It was about 3/4 of a mile up a mountain and remote. The hot tub was fantastic and we had a little bonfire. A couple of things to make sure of is that your vehicle is a 4x4 because the road to get there is difficult. Also if you are bringing dogs there is a small grass patch out back but there is also a steep mountain drop so make sure to bring leashes if your dogs aren’t used to mountains. Overall this was just what we needed and we loved our stay.

This was our second time to stay at this place Just like the first it met all of our expectations Great scenery and cooler temperatures We will be back

Great place to stay, quite and relaxing.

Booked for a little couples getaway and mental recharge. Overall, the cabin had all the amenities we needed to be comfortable, but wasn’t really what we expected or were looking for. Cabin had a very moldy smell. I ended up getting sick the day we left. Furniture is very old and run down, however bed was comfortable. MUST have a good AWD/4WD vehicle to get up to the cabin. Road up was extremely rough. I would never go in winter, even with a good car. Pond was over sold. It was a ditch with water. Also check in process was a pain. We had to drive to the rental office to pick up directions that could have been emailed and would have saved time and gas. Also, you have to remove your own trash, which was also annoying at the end of a trip when you just want to head out. The rental office was not on our way home, so we were stuck with trash on the drive home. That be a major pain if staying more than a long weekend. Views from the cabin were nothing to ride home about. However, that being said, we still enjoyed our trip and made the best of it. The purpose was to spend time together and go off the grid, and that we did. Cabin area was quiet and secluded. Hot tub was older, but clean and relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking items. If you do go, must visit Maggie Valley Sandwich shop. It was delicious. Publix grocery store wasn’t too far and was also close to the start of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Soco falls.

Privacy at its finest! Cozy cute cabin with almost everything you need. Missed having washer and dryer and an iron and ironing board would be great additions also! WIFI did not work during our stay. So peaceful on the porch morning and evening! Had a wonderful time!
