Western North Carolinia Mountain Retreat Villa

I could have hosted a small dinner party with the amount of beautiful kitchen supplies and dish ware. We slept 6 comfortably no problem. The upper master bathroom was “the hit” spot for showers. It’s absolutely beautiful and room is large. We are well traveled and the view was unparalleled. If doing pets I’d recommend a spring doorway style gate and prepare to have a potty plan. There is no flat grass anywhere. We ended up doing puppy pee pads in parking lot because mine was picky. Drive up the mountain is nicely paved and maintained. It is about 15 stressful minutes up or down for us flatlanders. Switchbacks and blind turns. Which is expected for views like those. Parking lot is enormous. Love there is a small area set up with seating and fire bowl at edge of lot ready for the fun to start. Easy drives to downtown Waynesville and Maggie Valley. Close enough to grocery stores, fast food and local shopping spots. It easily checked all our boxes. Highly recommend

Beautiful view and very comfortable accommodations for our family of 5. We loved that we could bring our dog too!

Nice 2 story house. Great views. All the rooms were big. Everything was updated. Fun drive up the mountain. Would love to stay here again.

Pro- Great views of the mountains Cons- Altitude is 3800 feet not 4500. Back deck railing is dangerous for young children and pets as there is a two foot gap and a 40 a forty foot drop. All other units have this the railing fenced in. Linens are old and need to be replaced. Much of the unit needs an update.

Great place to stay. Second time here, wish we could stay all summer

This little Villa is such a gem. We stayed one entire week here and didn’t want to come back home. The villa was so comfortable and the views are the best you’re gonna get. We will definitely return here again. A few things we did to make our stay a little more comfortable. We bought a pillow top foam cover for the mattress and two extra pillows. The bed is very firm and we prefer it to be soft. We brought our Roku device and hooked it up to the tv in the living room so we could stream shows in the evening. We also brought our own propane heater so we could sit outside at night to enjoy the views without freezing to death. The only thing about this place that is a minor inconvenience is that it does not have air conditioning. Although we didn’t use air conditioning on our trip due to the cold weather, it does create a bit of a smell that is unpleasant when something sits with no air circulation for long periods of time. None of this is to the point that we wouldn’t return to this cabin and despite it I feel like the price was fair. I just want to leave a review so that people know what to expect. I would also like to add that the owner was very prompt in his response when we needed to get in to the villa. We accidentally locked ourselves out and he had someone open the villa for us within a span of 15 minutes. Definitely worth the money and I have fond memories of this vacation.

It was a one night stay & caused much fatigue & breathing problems with the air inside the cabin. We had trouble breathing & the smell was of old mold & dirt present - cleanliness was not present

The unit was excellent almost everything Was provided. Exception was a blender so I could have my morning smoothie. I would also suggest the owner should make a picket balcony fence like the other units as we worried about our small dogs. Otherwise everything was terrific and we enjoyed our stay! ?

We have stayed at this property for the past 5 years and we love everything about it! The view is outstanding and you don't have to go far up the mountain to enjoy it. It is close to Waynesville and Maggie Valley, and our favorite restaurant is The Sweet Onion. The condo kitchen is well stocked with everything you will need. The owner is very responsive to any questions. We highly recommend this property?

This rental has a very comfortable house, is close to town, with wonderful views. I would definitely come back!
