Well-equipped, too, with stuff you wouldn't expect to find in a rental - super clean Weber grill, Boll & Branch bedding throughout, a pullout sofa that rivals many standalone mattresses, etc. Hot tub was ready to go, TVs were easy to figure out, refrigerator was super clean. The road up isn't the easiest in a minivan, but it's July. We'll be back!

The home was full of accomodations, including a beautiful kitchen with updated appliances. The view was unimaginable and one of the prettiest I have seen staying in a mountain cabin. The cabin also came fully stoked not only with kitchen necessities but also with plenty of extra blankets and pillows for those cold nights, as well as puzzles and a few games for family time. We loved staying here and did not want to leave to return home!

The master bed mattress could be replaced and the sofa bed downstairs is not the best. The rental management company is excellent - it answers all calls and fixes all problems to the best of its ability (sometimes depending on the owners)All in all - it was a great vacation.

Our prior stay here was in November of 2018. Apparently the home was sold since then and has a new owner. The difference was evident in that there was less in the way of decor. It just felt different, and less than. This was the first time we spent Christmas in Maggie Valley. We typically come for the week of Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, we had several issues during our stay this time. The dishwasher did not work, and although eventually repaired, we had no use of it for 1/2 the stay. The ice/water dispenser on the fridge did not work and was never repaired during our stay. The indoor gas fireplace stoped working after the 2nd day of our stay and required a part that was not available, so we were unable to use it again. Our stay was for 8 nights and we were only able to light it for 2 of those days. This was especially disappointing as it was Christmas, and it’s one of the main features and draws to renting a mountain cabin for the holidays. There was no propane in the tank for the BBQ and once reported to management, they did send someone, but the tank delivered was not full. The condition of the BBQ is extremely concerning. The flame tamers are all rusted out which caused the flames to uncontrollably shoot upward. The BBQ was filthy and I would recommend replacing the whole thing. Management was very professional, and responsive. I understand they can only do so much. I would recommend that the owners make the investment in new appliances and sprucing up the decor. Also, fully aware it’s their cabin to do as they wish, I would still recommend not placing personal family photos around the home. If I’m renting it and want it to feel like MY home for the rental period, seeing pictures of strangers all around ruins that perception. The view is still breathtaking from this home. It will always have that!
