About this property

Buck Horn Lodge Private Residence at 3800' w/ sunset views of Maggie Valley, NC

Buck Horn Lodge is located at 3800' above Maggie Valley with spectacular views of downtown Maggie Valley as well as near and distant mountains. We are located near the end of the road with no other homes in view where the cool breezes blow.

The secluded home is furnished with everything you need for a relaxed vacation.

In the kitchen there's a range, refrigerator w/ice maker, microwave, blender, toaster, Keurig & coffee pot w/filters, toaster oven, toaster, lots of pots and pans, dishes and silverware.

The large dining room table seats 8 and there's a table on the deck for outside meals. Also on the deck are 6 rocking chairs for reading, morning coffee, or afternoon relaxing. The night time view of the valley with the lights is spectacular.

The living room features a large fireplace (firewood is furnished), 2 leather recliners, a love seat leather recliner, two Lazy Boy recliners, and a smart tv. WIFI is provided. You can log into your streaming services on all televisions in the house.

This home is NOT motorcycle friendly due to the curves and rough gravel.

Featuring a large Master Bedroom with it's own private deck. You can enjoy your morning coffee in the King size bed and watch the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks play on the deck. There are hummingbird feeders with lots of hummingbirds flying back and forth feeding. In the evening you can retreat to the bedroom and enjoy the electric fireplace, watch TV, or enjoy the view of downtown Maggie Valley at night. The Master Bath features a large shower and spacious vanity. There's plenty of space for your clothes in the walk-in closet. There is an A/C for times when the cooling breezes are not cool enough (which doesn't happen very often).

Upstairs there are two large bedrooms each with a kingsize bed. Each room has a smart TV. These two bedrooms share a bathroom with a tub/shower that is located between the bedrooms. Each bedroom has it's own A/C unit for the rare night when they are needed.

The basement has a small bedroom with a queen size bed. This bedroom has it's own private bath with a shower. Just outside the bedroom is a sitting room with a smart TV.

There is also a washer/dryer downstairs (bring your own laundry detergent).

Located in the garage is a gas grill and a charcoal grill(bring your own charcoal) for cooking out and a ping pong table (the paddle boards are not included with the house).

If you are looking for some exercise take a walk to the top of the mountain. It's about 1 1/2 miles and in the summer you can pick blackberries to eat or make a blackberry cobbler. When you get to the top the views are spectacular. Be sure and take some water.

Maggie Valley has lots of shops and restaurants. There's two parks on Jonathan Creek, one on each end of the strip, where the kids can play in the cold water creek.

Also nearby is Waynesville with more shopping and dining; Lake Junaluska for beautiful walks around the lake, tenis/pickleball courts, paddleboard/kayak renals; Cataloochee Valley where you can view the elk in the evening and tour old homesteads; the Blue Ridge Parkway with its views; Harrah's Casino in Cherokee; Biltmore Estate in nearby Asheville; Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and lots of hiking trails and waterfalls.

Magnificent View
We stayed here with our 3 daughters, their spouses, and our granddaughter. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house was stocked with everything we needed! We were pleasantly surprised to find spices and lots of pots and pans to make our cheeseburger soup! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to escape for a while and enjoy God's beautiful creation in a spacious, clean home!

Amazing view
Great cabin, view and host. My family had a lot of fun there. My wife is afraid of heights, so the road up to the cabin made her nervous. I thought it made it unique and secluded yet close enough to get in to downtown. Really fun setup. Will stay there again

Enjoyable Family Christmas
We had a great time being together as a family enjoying Christmas at Buck Horn. The house had everything we needed. The only issue we had was unexpected winter weather made getting to the house very difficult. The owner was very attentive and lined up a neighbor to help us get back up to the house. Overall a great time and would love to visit again.

Magical Place
Our family loved this beautiful cabin up high in the mountains with a view of Maggie Valley. We enjoyed the wildlife. We saw hummingbirds, all kinds of other birds, chipmunks, flying squirrels, bats, and a raccoon at the house. We saw a baby bear crossing the road on the Blue Ridge Parkway and of course the elk. We had everything we needed at the house.

Beautiful view
The house has an amazing view. I wish we could have enjoyed the porch more, but the weather was cold in February. The drive up to the house was nerve wrecking at night, but we made it. The two bedrooms upstairs were less than great. One “king” bed was two beds pushed together with a huge gap in the middle and squeaked with any small movement. The other bed was uncomfortable according to our guest. The home was also lacking central heat which made warming the first night a little hard, after that it was very warm and cozy especially with the wood burning fireplace. The wood was well stocked and the house was actually very well stocked with spices and other essentials. The TV was easy to use and the WIFI worked great. The towel warmers were a nice touch in the winter! Overall we had fun, only a little disappointed in the beds as we were expecting a third true king size. Maggie Valley was super cute and had lots a yummy restaurants!

What makes this property unique

We love the secluded home with fabulous views of downtown Maggie. The sunsets are gorgeous and some mornings, the clouds cover the valley. We have wild turkeys who visit the driveway at times. You might even see an elk or deer on the road up the mountain.
