Christmas visit

Our family gathered from Hawaii, Colorado, and South Carolina at this beautiful property. We loved being able to do all the activities of home such as cooking meals and all sitting around the same table to eat them and then play games together. The wood fireplace was a wonderful Addition and the large back deck has an amazing view. Make sure that if there is any hint of wintry weather when you have booked your stay that you have a four-wheel-drive or you will not get into the property. We had to backtrack and stay at the Best Western in Maggie Valley until things melted off the next day. But even that was a positive experience with comfortable rooms and free breakfast. We will definitely use Carolina Mountain Vacation properties in the future when looking for a vacation rental.

Beautiful and Relaxing

A few times a year, my best girl friends and our pups like to go on a cabin trip to relax and craft. We always try different places but this is our favorite! The view is beautiful and the porch is amazing. We only had 3 chairs at the table outside which was weird and made it a little annoying with 4 of us wanting to eat together on the porch. Rooms were great, although the front bedroom is very small (lightswitch outside bedroom and only room for a small side table). The chairs and fire pit was perfect and we loved not having a ton of stairs. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Wish the fridge had an ice maker with water in the door, so we were glad we brought drinks. Had an amazing time, host was great, will definitely be back. Oh and we saw an elk on our way to breakfast today!! Amazing!

Great relief from the heat!

We very much enjoyed our time in Maggie Valley at this cabin. The porch and the view are spectacular and we greatly appreciated the quiet atmosphere and rest that the place affords. One of our favorite cabins we have rented so far in the area.

April 17th - 21st

We come up to Maggie Valley every year at the end of april for the Minitruck Nationals car show. This cabin fit our needs/wants and was overall great. Hot tub was wonderful and we really loved the big back porch. When we first arrived we didn't have any toliet paper but one quick phone call to paul and it was fixed in 5 minutes. He was great anytime i called with anything. Our stay was enjoyed. The driveway is a little small but we made it work. With the weather this year we didn't get to enjoy the outside fire pit but it was a nice set up. We can't wait to start looking for next year. Would def recommend this cabin to anyone!!

Spring Break in the mountains

We had a lovely stay! Location was beautiful and cabin was charming. Only call out I would like to make is that the cabin is not a true 4 bedroom as advertised. The 4th bedroom if off of the kitchen and is a very small room that has just enough room to fit a queen bed (no closet).

Parents 60th anniversary ❤️

Property is all one level and easy for our 80 y/o parents to move around. The view is beautiful. Do not expect internet ir fast phone service. This was great for us because we wanted to interact more with family and enjoy games, laughter and conversation. Bring your own paper products like toilet paper, paper towels & plates. 4 bedrooms, all 4 mattresses are different levels of firmness. Dust bunnies, not too bad. Windowsills need some cleaning, but so do mine. Yes, we would recommend this cabin. Nice stay for what we wanted to celebrate. Fast response to messages.

Great cabin in the woods

This was a great getaway for college friends to reconnect and relax. It was quiet and had a beautiful view and the sound of a creek below. Two of the beds were harder than we preferred but the others were great. The deck was amazing. The owners responded quickly and accepted feedback graciously. A nice stay for a small group for sure.

very nicely appointed, great deck with good view, only negative is I would move the fire pit forward about 6 feet so chairs could face out to the mountains.

AWESOME PLACE TO STAY

We stayed 6 nights. The location was great for all the things we wanted to do: hiking, rafting, Gatlinburg, Ashville, Cherokee, sunsets and sunrises. The view from the deck was gorgeous. The place was well kept and a lot larger than what I thought it was going to be. The "locals" were so nice and friendly. You definitely have to check out some of the local stores. It is a steep drive up to the cabin but what do you expect you're on a MT. We used the deck a lot. Hot tub and bonfire pit were great too! We did not run out of things to do in the area! Thanks for letting us stay!

Lovely stay but not secluded

Overall we enjoyed our stay, but would have preferred something more private. Listing was accurate, it's my fault for not asking specific questions before booking. Property includes 2 other cabins and we shared a driveway with 1 of them, so we had more people around us than we'd hoped, but had the general area to ourselves for the most part. I don't imagine most people take a trip to a cabin on a mountain to have neighbors, but maybe that's just me. Again, not the fault of the hosts, just a heads up for anyone like us who's looking to getaway from people. The cabin itself was nice, stocked with everything I needed for cooking, great view from the deck, we enjoyed using the hot tub as well. Basic cable and the wifi worked well enough to post a picture or 2. There's plenty of hiking areas and rock shops nearby and Waynesville is roughly 20 minutes away. The only critique I'd like to offer is there was no paper towels, we were left an empty roll. It would have been nice if both bathrooms were properly stocked with toilet paper. I'd also recommend putting hand soap in both bathrooms and the kitchen, it would have been much more convenient.

Fun place good price

The cabin was pretty much what was advertised. As noted by many others the internet does not work well. It was not a surprise to our group but is definitely something to know for the next customers to plan for. Additionally, there were mice in the cabin. There were traps out in the kitchen that were not safe for young children to be near. One evening we did not have the lid on the trash and the next morning we could tell that mice had gotten into it. Also, there were mice droppings in several of the kitchen cabinets. Aside from a small pest problem, great cabin, would rent again.
