Gorgeous mountain retreat

This home was the perfect place for a long weekend getaway in the mountains. At 3400 feet the views were spectacular and the cool evenings on the back porch the perfect place for a cocktail or a glass of wine. We also appreciated that it was only 10 minutes into town making it easy to go for coffee or shopping. The home was well equipped, making it easy to cook if we wanted to. Highly recommended and would stay here anytime!

The house is beautiful and wonderfully stocked for comfort. The only negative is the drive up the mountain is very narrow and curvy. I would stay again.

Great mountain retreat

The house was great for our two family of fours. The kids loved all the activities in the lower level and the adults loved sitting by the fireplace in the living room. The kitchen is stocked well. The location was easy to get to Maggie Valley for skiing and tubing. The road up to the house is paved but very steep and could be a problem with snow/ice.

Family weekend

We could not have loved this property anymore-everything was perfect! The fully stocked kitchen, the gas fire pit with that view, the comfortable beds! And the game room was great-adults and teens all fully entertained with ping pong and foosball tournaments. The place was clean and spacious. We were in the area for a graduation at Western Carolina, which was an easy 30 minute drive. Hope to stay again next time we’re in the area.

Stay in Waynesville

The property is an older family style house - we felt at home here and comfortable. It generally had everything you would need or want and was in an area convenient to town, stores, the mountains etc. The roads on the way up though are fairly steep and the driveway is as well so you want to be aware of this if you are not used to mountain roads which are one lane in some parts.

Perfect and Picturesque

The cabin was exactly as shown and described in the rental description. Other than a small hiccup with the heating unit, the week was fantastic! Lots of room for kids to play and adults to relax. The game room and children's toys available were definitely an added bonus. The distance to Asheville and Pigeon Forge were within an hour from the cabin and there were other national parks just minutes away. This cabin was perfect for our family vacation.

Great Mountain home

Spent 5 nights here after Christmas. The house is fully stocked for families—probably the best stocked house I have been in. Listing is 100% spot on! House was clean and very comfortable. Close to grocery stores and skiing at Cataloochie. Beautiful views! If traveling in the winter—you need a 4 wheel drive car. Thankfully we had no snow or ice but had that been there—I am not sure our Suburban would have been enough. It’s a one way road to get to the house. Also, this is to the owner. The rental company is like an automated system—which is annoying. We tried to confirm the baby stuff listed on VRBO was really in the house and also asked if the house had a fire pit. The rental company said they cannot guarantee anything listed in the house. So we brought stuff we didn’t need too—the house has a ton of baby items (as listed) and a great fire pit. They need a new rental company that has real people who have an inventory of everything in the house and not an automated system with generic replies.
