Artsy mountain home with large covered deck, AC, & amazing views - close to town

It was wonderful. Would totally book again

The house was awesome! Steep driveway but we did find in my expedition! House has everything you need for everything! Cooking, baths, washing dishes to washing clothes! The cold water takes forever to run in washer but it got the job done! Will be staying in house hopefully many times in the future! Quiet and peaceful up on the mountain! Would recommend it for sure!

The house itself was clean and comfy. One room was cramped with 4 people and their stuff. The fire pit was fabulous! It was set up with everything you'd need for a fire, enough chairs for everyone (we needed 8), wood, lighter and a beautiful view of the night sky. The driveway took some navigation to get up from a right turn in a larger vehicle. The turn is sharp and steep and there's no warning in the description or directions. Also, you have to haul off your own trash ?. We didn't find this out until the night before we were to leave. The house and pit are 4-5 stars, but the driveway, view and trash changed it to 3 stars.

Pros: The house itself was comfy and as described. It had just about anything you could possibly need for your stay. The fire pit area is very nice along with a great view of the night sky. They provided wood and enough chairs for everyone in your party. They also have it priced pretty reasonable.Cons: The driveway is very steep and hard to make a right hand turn into it, if you have a larger vehicle and not mentioned anywhere in the description. They don't clean out the bottom of the gas BBQ grill, fire hazard. When the AC quit working, they weren't very eager to fix it. I almost felt like they were trying to blame us for it being broken. The room with the bunk beds is cramped for 4 people. And lastly, the pictures of the property the house sits on are deceiving and there are no amazing views.

Great stay. Great location!

Perfect little weekend family getaway

Upon arriving at Elk Valley it looked abandoned, the grass was at least a foot tall. Upon entering the home we immediately noticed the back door was wide open and the screen door lock was broken. My boyfriend quickly had me wait in the car so he could search the home and make sure it was safe. The inside of the home is very nice and comfortable. The photos of the view are deceiving and disappointing as the only good view is from a secondary small deck off to the left of the porch that was overgrown and unaccessible. The home is centrally located to all the shopping and restaurants in maggie valley and a short drive to Gatlinburg. According to the guest book the owners live in Florida and I assume they will be very disappointed to know the management company has not kept up the property as it should be.

The house was great! Yard needed a little TLC but overall enjoyed our stay!
