MOUNTAIN JOY COTTAGES #12 - Feathered Friends

This one bedroom cottage is a special treat for couples. This cottage has a jacuzzi tub for two and is complete with a full kitchen, dining area for two, and a cozy living room area where you can snuggle up in front of the fireplace.

Outside the porches have rocking chairs so you can enjoy your morning coffee or enjoy the sunset on the mountains in the evening. Our glass enclosed outdoor pool (seasonal) offers a delightful place to relax.

Mountain Joy Cottages are centrally located in the heart of Maggie Valley just one block up Setzer Cove Road with easy access to all of the area attractions. We are just minutes off of the Scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The area is loaded with craft, antique and gift shops. The great outdoors offers horseback riding, golf on area mountain courses, trout fishing in streams, white water rafting and scenic drives. Snow skiing and tubing is available for the entire family at Cataloochee Ski Area. Nightlife includes everything from Jazz to Bluegrass, clogging or dinner entertainment. Our cottages are just a short drive to the Great Smoky Mountain Railway, The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, Cherokee Indian Reservation and Harrah’s Casino and historic downtown Waynesville.

Whatever the season, Mountain Joy Cottages and the Great Smokies have something very special to offer. From the wildflowers of spring, to the blaze of colors in the fall or the serenity of winter, come visit and make lasting memories at Mountain Joy Cottages.

Extended weekend getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our stay was average. We stayed in the Feathered Friends cabin. Cabin needs cleaning and updating, some lightbulbs were out, oven doesn’t work properly, we were only given 1 trash bag. We enjoyed Tube World and Joey’s pancake house. We would not stay in this cabin again

Outdated
This property had old broken blinds up and the decor is very outdated. There was no room for you to turn around your vehicle. You could pull in but could not turn around to get off the property, without backing up at least 3 times and I was in a small suv.

Dirty
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the cabin that we stay in but not to my surprise it was not clean, we stay there in Dec. 2019, not clean then, this time is was still dirty as it was before. The kitchen was clean, but floor were dirty, I brought my mop from home and moped the floor, toilet was dirty, I cleaned with my cleaners, the return on the air unit was had lint on the outside, the filter looked like it had not been changed in years. I went to Ingles and bought another one and replaced the old one. A sock was laying beside the bed from the prior renter, that tells me the floor was not swept. I did bring my own towels, sheets, toilet paper, paper towels, because when I made the reservations I ask about how clean is the cabin cleaned, I was told, it was by the CDC guide lines. Not so, my husband's immune system is not very stable, that was the reason for my questions. Immune system being not so good or not, that is no reason for the cabins to be nasty. We wanted to stay at Christmas, but I am not spending all that money, and have to be house cleaning. By the way we did not stay six nights as planned, we only stayed 5 nights, and did not ask for a refund.I will try to find another place to stay using Vrbo

We Loved It!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is fantastic. Right in the middle of it all and convenient to everything. The room was spacious and clean and the jacuzzi and fireplace really knocked it out of the park. The WiFi is weak if you’re trying to work, but I used my mobile data to boost when needed, and was thankful in the end to make the trip a little less work and more play.

Great cabin but management is poor
Cabin was great but management had no communication about check in. Tried calling several times about issues they sometimes returned call. We had to ask another renter how to check it. The cabin is bare! Be prepared no toilet paper or dish soap or anything. The cabin is in a great location and very cute. Sadly customer service is extremely poor. Thanks

Disappointed
The cabin’s structures and the grounds were clean, but the inside maintenance and housekeeping were disappointing. The outside doors were easily pushed open when locked, which were supposed to be open with a key. There was not another lock to secure the cabin, in and a key wasn’t needed to enter the cabin when either inside or outside the cabin, the blinds on both doors were broken, the microwave was sparking as if metal had been placed in it and the floors had not been swept or mopped when we arrived Thanksgiving. When I informed Carolina Vacations, they only apologized for the inconvenience, and we informed them that we had purchased garbage bags to place on the doors for privacy...that’s it. We were there three days. We didn’t bother letting them in on the rest of the issues. We were just disappointed and cannot recommend Carolina Vacations or Mountain Joy Cottages.
