    This cabin was perfect for our stay. Dog friendly was a plus. Pet fee was high compared to other cabins. The view was great and seeing the moose was a plus. Great place to stay.

    We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! Norma was amazing to work with, so helpful, friendly, and responsive, which made the entire experience seamless. The location could not be better: super close to Cataloochee Ski Area, making ski days incredibly easy.The neighborhood was charming, quiet, and peaceful, and the cabin itself was spotless, beautifully appointed, and so welcoming. It truly felt like a home away from home. We loved that it was dog-friendly, and the setting was perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes.This cabin is an ideal choice for anyone wanting a cozy, clean, and convenient place near Cataloochee. We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it!

    Loved this place! It was clean and the host was perfect! I reached out to her a few times, and I was amazed that she replied so quickly each time!!! Perfect location. Minutes away from Waynesville. Cherokee and Bryson City were not far away at all. Very quiet neighborhood. Had the pleasure of seeing an elk right in the yard (of course we viewed him from a safe distance). We loved sitting on the porch and looking up at the mountains. It was so peaceful. I would definitely stay here again! The host was perfect, as well as the house!

    Cabin was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Location was close to Cherokee, Waynsville and Asheville.There are a lot of new cabins being built so not many open fields and the Elk did not come close to cabin but there was a farm next to neighborhood where they would come every evening to graze and we would drive over there to watch them.Norma was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had about the property or area. Cabin is very spacious and perfect for a family vacation!

    Could not have been better. Property was even better than expected. I spent time talking to and getting to know the neighbors, all very nice people. Spectacular views yet close to everything we needed, even saw an elk walking across the street. Communication with the owner was second to none. She replied promptly to every question, supplied area information, no detail left undone.

    We were looking for quiet tranquility with a view. Even though you have neighbors everyone is friendly and respects your privacy. Cabin is very well appointed and exceptionally clean. However the killer is the outside deck. Even when it rains you have plenty of cover to sit it out. We did not try out the fire pit because we were too lazy. Definitely a cabin I would return too many times.

    From the moment my family arrived, we were impressed by the Like-New condition of this cabin. It appears as all upgradeable options were selected in the construction process, and it has been professional maintained. We would most certainly stay here again if we find ourselves returning to Maggie Valley.

    The house was beautiful and location great. The neighborhood is growing but this house was on end of street with no houses behind it. Picked this place primarily to see elk and we weren’t disappointed. Saw elk every day (5 day stay). Norma was quick to respond to our questions. Disappointed that we weren’t able to use the fireplace (pilot light out) but really wasn’t cold. Great stay.
