Considering the house is at 4400 feet elevation it’s fairly easy to get to. Very access to BRP. The downstairs bedroom and bath room are heated by electric portable heaters if your staying in the winter it may be cool downstairs

Mountain Getaway with Great Views
The property was clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We really liked sitting out by the fire, and hanging out on the porch as the weather was beautiful. The view of the valley was amazing and you could see for hundreds of miles. Sunrise and sunset were breathtaking. Would definitely recommend this property for a weekend getaway, and close proximity to the Casino in Cherokee as well.

Nice spot for a hiking trip
Nice place to stay with some great views. Kitchen was solid, plenty of space within the house itself. Firepit was a nice to have. Dirt roads to get into the community were very manageable (we were there in the spring), but would recommend a vehicle with higher clearance.

Christmas Vacation
The cabin was a perfect for our family Christmas vacation. The mountan views were spectacular. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We were there during the recent artic freeze, our truck registered -13, and the space heaters downstairs were able to keep it warm even with five solid days of below freezing temperatures. The road leading up to cabin is well maintained. And the directions Alissa provides are accurate. We did find that Wayze and Apple maps were correct as well. I would love to come back in spring or summer, I bet it's even more beautiful then.

Amazing views with bright beautiful fall colors!
The views were spectacular! Beautiful new sliding glass windows made it easy to enjoy the views from the couch. You can also enjoy the views from the covered deck area. The home is centrally located but away from all the noise making it a peaceful place to rent. Easy check-in process. Well stocked kitchen for enjoying homecooked meals.

Great Maggie Valley Vacation
This home is in a heavily wooded, very quiet area. Drive to the property is a bit of an adventure, my kids loved it! Definitely recommend driving an SUV with AWD or 4WD, you'll need the ground clearance. Home is nice, and priced right. Great view, comfortable beds and furniture. Kitchen was good, everything worked well. Grill works well. Could use a bit of maintenance on the staircase, and a few of the windows and doorwalls were difficult to open, or close correctly. The owner Alissa was great and very responsive to any questions or issues. My kids enjoyed going to the playscape a few times, which is a nice little walk to tire them out. Met one of the neighbors who was very nice. She told us to check out Water rock knob, which has a great view with a nice hike to the top.

A little gem with stunning view and pets friendly
The cabin is perfectly located for those who love hiking or simply drive around to enjoy beautiful views of the smoky mountains. It sits less than 2 miles from the blue ridge parkway. We enjoyed the deck and the view very much, for our coffee in the morning and in the evening relaxing on the rocking chairs after few hours of hiking. Gorgeous sunrise for the early birds. We were 6 adults and plenty of room. The beds were extremely comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped, we did cook every night. The communication with Alissa, the owner, was very good. Alissa is very responsive. The access of the cabin was not as bad as we were expecting. Many places to pull over should you meet another car. Explanations to get there made it easy. IMap works well too, just continue another 50 yards after it tells you you have arrived. We definitely recommend this cabin and if our journey brings us back in the Smoky Mountains, we will rent it again. And our cockapoo loved it too.

Beautiful views fell short by mediocre service
My family recently enjoyed our vacation in the GSM. We have three teenagers that were excited to use the game room. The game room was one of the factors for choosing this property. Unfortunately, the light did not work. We contacted the owner who did respond , but the light was not fixed which meant we couldn’t enjoy the room. This was disappointing. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. It is a peaceful property. With beautiful views.

Great getaway
this house has a beautiful long range view from the deck, and is a genuine escape from busy lifestyles. All that can be heard are sounds of nature. The property is very clean, LR furniture and master bedroom are definitely comfortable. (We didn't try the other beds!) The landlord was very friendly, checked in with us to be sure all was well during our stay, to be sure we had all we needed.

Best Views guaranteed
Best views guaranteed from this cabin. Cabin was very secluded and private. Apple maps works best for directions, Google Maps get confused. We have all the needed utensils in the kitchen. Bit of a drive to get groceries - so plan accordingly. We had blast with all the board games & Ping-pong table. Looking forward to visit again. Just a small note: Owner instructed us about 4WD/AWD. Due to last minute planning, we couldn't get rental and drove our Hyundai Sonata and getting in and out of cabin was bit trouble - Sedan bottom is touching the edge of the road.

Awesome ski trip
This rental worked out great for a short ski trip. It’s exactly as pictured. The setup was great and the owner was very helpful. The sheets, towels and mattresses were great. Very comfy able and homey. I loved the wood burning stove - so easy to figure out. The road is as described so be prepared for that. The downstairs is not in the HVAC but they had a great heater once we figured it out :) Very close to skiing and tubing - about 15-20 minutes. Quiet and relaxing home! Thank you!

Beautiful stay!!
This cabin was exactly as described, the views were even more beautiful in person. I'd definitely stay here again :) Location: Nestled in the woods of Maggie Valley, this cabin had the best views and was very secluded and private. However, getting there was quite a challenge on the first night and the driving directions shared by the hosts were absolutely necessary and accurate. Do not follow Google maps. The location was perfect for access to local Maggie Valley hiking and waterfalls (Socco Falls is a must see) as well as other hikes 1-2 hours away, and Asheville. It is a bit of a drive from the main road, so I'd recommend getting all essentials/emergency items before driving up. Amenities: It had all that we needed to cook and relax, the only thing missing was firewood which the hosts apologized for and recommended a local store to get pre seasoned firewood. Alissa was super quick to respond to our questions. Pet: Our 4 year old Aussie had a blast exploring the property and surrounding areas Price: I think we paid a premium due to holiday season, but I thought it was a bit overpriced. The kitchen looked like it was updated recently but the bathrooms seemed a bit dated and the game room could have been cleaner also. I'd still rate this 5 star though coz it didn't matter so much to us.

About the host

Hosted by Alissa Cole

Host profile image
Our family loves to travel and our favorite place to go in the Western NC mountains. We live on the NC coast and enjoy boating and swimming in the intracoastal. We just purchased our first cabin in the mountains and look forward to sharing it with you and your family/friends.

Why they chose this property

Our favorite place in the Blue Ridge Mountains is the Maggie Valley area. We are very close to the Smoky Mountain National Park and entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The town of Maggie Valley is quaint with a lot of attractions and restaurants. If you are visiting in winter we are close to the Cataloochee Ski resort and Tube World. We are also 25 minutes from Cherokee and the Harrahs casino. There is plenty to do within a half hour drive in either direction!
Our favorite hike is 5 mins away at Soco Falls just a quick walk down to the waterfall. We are also just 15 minutes away from the famous Waterrock Knob hike!

What makes this property unique

This cabin has long range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains through the valley. The view stretches 35 miles over 6 ranges to the last mountain before the city of Asheville. The quiet peaceful neighborhood makes you feel like you are in a remote area but in reality you are only 10 mins to the town. This home has the ability to sleep several couples, a large family or two small families. There is a neighborhood playground and pavilion as well as creeks and streams to explore. Downstairs walks out to a small yard with firepit and more views! Step out of the busy day to day and into the serenity that only the mountains can give!
