We are just minutes off of the Scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and 30 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Enjoy popular attractions like the Biltmore House and Gardens, Blue Ridge Parkway, Harrahs casino, numerous championship golf courses, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, trout fishing...and much more.

PLEASE NOTE: Our cabin is located in the Maggie Overlook neighborhood which consists of a mile of gravel/dirt roads on a mountain ridge. The roads have lots of switch backs and a few steep drop offs in the sides. Big mountain views = mountain
roads so please be prepared! We highly recommend AWD for stays May-October.
4WD is REQUIRED for stays November-April due to the potential for snowy/icy roads. It is the guests responsibility to monitor the weather and have a vehicle capable of accessing the cabin. No refunds will be issued due to having the improper vehicle type for accessing the cabin during your stay.
Snow removal is not included but can be added.

SECURITY: We have a security camera that overlooks the driveway and the valley only.

PETS: Two dogs under 20 pounds. $100 fee for each dog. You must send pictures for pet approval. Pets are not to be left unattended.

HOT TUB: The hot tub has to withstand freezing and melting temperatures in the mountain climate and when something breaks it may take several days to get parts or technicians. Because of this our liability is limited to 10% of your nightly rate should anything fail with the hot tub equipment and we're unable to repair it within 24 hours. Our hot tub is cleaned and serviced between guests. Anything can happen in between. So let us know if you need an extra service.

Please take trash to the drop off throughout your stay:
Haywood County Solid Waste Convenience Center
30 Mauney Cove Rd, Waynesville, NC 28786
Only one bag may be left at the cabin on check out day.

Cozy perfection

This was such an amazing place to hide away and spend some quality time with each other for our 18th anniversary. This cabin was so cozy, provided comfortable furnishings, and was in the most beautiful location. There wasn't anything more we could have asked for and we will definitely return again on another trip up to the mountains. We got a little turned around on our way up the first day getting there. The hosts answered our call right away and walked us through our mistaken turn. This place definitely deserves its 5 star rating!

Top 5 private cabin

We rent a cabin in the Maggie Valley area 2 or 3 times a year and I can say this cabin was amazing! In fact, we rated it in our top 5 overall favorite cabins since we started coming up in 2015! There are so many great things about this cabin. We really enjoyed the privacy and view. We really found it relaxing without all the noise and distractions. We also really appreciated that they emptied and cleaned the hot tub right before we got there. Really the entire cabin was extremely clean. I’d really like to comment on whether the host was helpful but I don’t know because everything was so well set up that I never contacted them! We will definitely be booking this cabin again!

Dog Friendly, Cozy Cabin, Breathtaking Views with Gorgeous Sunsets!

We really enjoyed our stay at Hootie Owl House! We spent a week hiking around, exploring the area with our dogs and kids. The cabin had everything we needed. There is a great fireplace, and the reclining couches in the great room are very comfy. We enjoyed rocking on the porch watching the sun set over the mountains. The drive to the cabin was not difficult in summer. We had a AWD minivan that had no trouble getting there. All in all, we had a wonderful stay! Hope to be back!

Heavenly

This is our second year in a row staying at this fantastic log cabin. Everything in the description is accurate. Gail and Chris were a pleasure to work with. They responded to our emails within minutes! The cabin is super clean and well stocked. We'll be back again since it's the best cabin in Maggie Valley.

Restful getaway

The cabin is beautifully situated and just as described. Well appointed with very little left to chance! The homeowner was available for any and all questions. We truly enjoyed our stay. As with other reviews, the drive up to the cabin is not for the faint of heart, but once we did it a couple of times we were fine! Very restful and peaceful with stunning views.

Relaxing mountain getaway with amazing views

We had a wonderful stay at the hootie owl. The property was clean, comfortable, and had the most amazing views. We really enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the rockers and hot tub. There was ample firewood for the cool evenings and everything we needed to cook a nice quiet meal at home. We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

A great spot with an awesome view.

The cabin is beautiful and true to what is pictured. It was private and quiet, and the view did not disappoint. Gail was easily accessible and quick to respond. It's a terrific location, too. There are lots of options for hiking and scenic drives. It's also close to a variety of places to shop and eat. Would absolutely stay again!

Relaxation in Maggie Valley

This was a very nice vacation rental. The view was outstanding but the narrow mountain roads heading up to the cabin were dicey for us older Florida flat landers. Luckily, we never met anyone coming the other way! We loved relaxing on the deck with a glass of wine. The hot tub was especially clean and a large bonus for us. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place.

A cabin with a million dollar view

My family loved staying a week at this cabin. It's a bit of a difficult trek up the side of the hill to get to the cabin but you quickly get used to the drive, and the payoff is the incredible view from the covered porch, looking down the valley. We especially enjoyed waking up early and enjoying a hot drink, sitting on one of the Adirondaks, while watching the misty clouds rolling into the valley and covering the little town of Maggie Valley. The interior was tastefully decorated, and everything was clean and well-maintained. Loved the woodwork; the breakfast countertop was beautiful. The location is ideal for venturing off into the Smokies or heading onto the Blue Ridge Parkway. We had a really good time staying at this cabin and would love to return one day.

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Gail

We purchased this log cabin in the fall of 2021. We hope to use it for our retirement some day.

Why they chose this property

This is a newer log cabin in excellent shape. We walked in and were wowed by it. The view is amazing and the porch is 60 by 10 feet offering a great outdoor living space. It also has an out building that we plan to turn into a guest house.
