About this property

Perfect location, creekside, close to skiing, easy paved access, Game Pavilion!

Paradise Found is ideally located at Maggie Valley’s west end, very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Sitting on a year round roaring creek amidst towering trees, it is the perfect base for getting away from it all, enjoying the creek, and visiting the many nearby local attractions and activities. Skiing, golf, fishing, hiking and fall foliage are close at hand, as are lots of cute mountain towns and the fabulous city of Asheville. Waynesville is only fifteen minutes away for shopping and groceries, and The Biltmore Estate is just 35 minutes away. Our cabin has two bedrooms and two bathrooms (split bedroom plan) with the master opening up to the deck and creek. We also have a queen sofa bed in the living room. There is a one car garage in the basement for winter shelter, and a huge detached garage that we have converted to a game pavilion with a pool table, foosball, ping-pong, card table and a huge flat screen TV and couch. Just outside the master bedroom is a wonderful brand new hot tub on the deck looking out to the creek, along with a propane grill, rocking chairs and a nice outdoor table. The game pavilion literally doubles the square footage of the cabin and provides plenty of additional activities that you can enjoy without ever leaving the property!
Skiers take note, this is THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR YOU!! Easy year round access and right next to the road going up to skiing. You can’t beat Paradise Found for your winter headquarters too!
Our guests are provided with all paper goods, such as toilet paper and paper towels as well as basic soaps. We also provide firewood. There are no additional fees for approved pets. Garbage pickup is provided at no additional cost. Trailers or large RV’s are NOT permitted due to the lack of maneuvering space on the community roads.

Clean and quiet

House was very clean, neighborhood very quiet and we did get a morning visit from elk! However, if you are looking for a modern home, this would not be a good fit for you. If you want to feel like you are visiting “grandma” this is your house - cozy butFrozen in time - fortunately the beds are very comfy as my husband ended up with the flu during our visit and stayed in bed most of the time! Creek is amazing and so close, it was wonderful to sit on porch swing and just enjoy the sounds of nature. Host is great and very responsive and timely!

A little slice of paradise at Paradise Found

We decided to spend our 15th anniversary in Maggie Valley and this cabin did not disappoint. Being from strictly flat land we were a bit nervous about the possibility of snow and ice on mountain roads. This cabin is in the perfect location, right off the main strip and super easy to get to. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. We only saw two vehicles pass our cabin in 5 days. The cabin has everything you could possibly need. The floor plan is excellent for a family or two couples to move around without feeling in each other's way. Then when our home town was hit with its first snow storm in over 100 years and we could not get home Carlos and Alice were gracious enough to extend our stay. This made traveling with our elderly dog much easier, as she doesn’t do well in hotels. Carlos and Alice your kindness has touched our hearts and you’ll always be remembered. We hope to return to Maggie Valley one day and stay at Paradise Found once again. Thank you!!

Great stay in a small little ski town

We stayed here for Christmas of '24 and enjoyed it very much. The creek runs right behind the property and is very serene. Snow tubing and plenty of great little restaurants and shops are a few minutes drive away. We also hit some nearby waterfalls and hiking trails in the area. The listing is not kidding about the wildlife you may encounter. Had a herd of about 13 elk about the neighborhood and probably about 8 feeding on the property right off the front porch. Don't mess with them, they won't mess with you. The elk even stroll about town and there are elk tours, but could just step outside your door. The place was plenty warm and the game room next door gives you and the family plenty to do when not about town. The rooms were plenty comfortable and my 2 adults nephews used the fold out sofa and said it was very comfortable. The host was simply awesome to work with. Great and informative communication and a real pleasure to deal with. We would most definitely stay here again. Give it a try, don't think you'll be disappointed. Thank you again Carlos & Alice for everything.

Perfect creek side cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at Paradise Found! The location was close to town & easy to get to. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the creek & relaxing in the hot tub. We saw elks near by everyday of our stay. The game room was awesome! Plenty of space for our family & two dogs. The property was also surprisingly kid-proofed for our two year old son, which we appreciated! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Weekend Stay

Cabin is nestled in the trees. Everything we needed was provided and more at this cute cabin. Plenty of towels, tp, blankets, spices, even had coffee. I overprepared and brought most of these things just in case. The location was perfect just oustside of town. The elk were everywhere in the yard and up and down the street. The "creek" out back sounded like a raging river but was relazing sitting out on the deck. Hot tub was amazing too! Game room was really nice addition, esp if you have kids. Only flaw was the berries dropping from trees. Made a mess of the floors. Thats nature!

Awesome Place

We loved everything about this cabin. The location was great, the beds were very comfortbale. The roaring creek off the back deck and Master bedroom was wonderful. We saw a few Elk strollng down the road which was very exciting to me since I love all animals. We will hopefully be staying here again. The cabin is very well stocked with everything you need. Highly recommend.

Peaceful!

We enjoyed our peaceful stay at this property. The sound of the creek was so soothing and relaxing. We had a minor glitch (seems a cord was not placed back correctly) with the TV but it was fixed within 30 minutes - such great customer service! Everything was very clean and extremely comfortable. Would definitely look into staying again at this property if we are back in this area. Great communication with the owners.

Great Weekend

We had a wonderful 3 night getaway with my family. We loved the location at the base of Cataloochee. My 4 kids enjoyed snowboarding during the day and enjoyed playing in the game room the rest of the time. My older boys really enjoyed playing pool for the first time ever and trying to master their skills at that. This house had just enough space for our family of 6. We hope to be back next year!

Wonderful Setting. Wonderful Stay.

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The back porch is heavenly. The sounds of the soothing stream were relaxing. The hot tub was perfect! We saw elk and watched them wander and graze through the yard. The setting was simply magical. We got great use out of the game room. Dream spot for teenagers. So many fun family memories made. The neighborhood is lovely, safe and friendly. Ideal for walking our dog. The kitchen was super well stocked. We even made a fire. The home had everything we needed. Generous amenities! Near Blue Ridge Parkway… great views, hikes and waterfalls.

Amazing Vacation

The four adults and a toddler had so much fun at this cabin and we saw some elk three different days. Loved the game room and enjoyed it so much and the back bedroom was perfect for my daughter and son-in-law and grandson who was 17 months old. He loved the enclosed back patio where he could run and play. We brought two dogs total and they enjoyed the cabin so much and it was so very comfortable 💙. We all loved the hot tub and especially my grandson. Thanks again for the most amazing vacation and the weather was just gorgeous 💛

Awesome Property

Paradise found is definitely the proper name for this place! The only wildlife we saw on property were squirrels and rabbits, but that’s ok. Through Cherokee and the National Park we saw elk, muskrats and turkeys. The house and game room were fantastic! Soco falls was right down the street and beautiful. We also enjoyed sliding rock and coontree picnic area. The beds were a little firm for us but that’s a personal preference that I don’t expect to be perfect. We still slept fine and had an awesome time. Mrs. Alice has this process down to a science, all the info we needed was supplied and we never had to reach out to her for anything. We will be back and I highly recommend this property to everyone!
