One of the best places we have ever stayed!
If you are looking for wifi, people, or a party atmosphere, this place is NOT for you! If you are looking for a beautiful, secluded place to spend QUALITY time with whomever you are with, this place IS for you! The setup is perfect for a family or group of friends. Beautifully decorated with everything you need. Very convenient to Cattalochee Valley. I cannot say enough good things about the property and the hoats! The only things to be aware of is the driveway is steep but my friend's car had no issues, and the walk up to the cabin (30 yards) can be tricky for anyone with balance issues. These are not negatives, just things to be aware of.

Wouldn’t stay again
The hot tub smelled and was green when we tried to get in it. The A/c didn’t work the whole weekend. The garbage disposal had a crack in it (which owners knew about but didn’t warn us about) the address is not visible from the street, not sure where the dumpster was/is (never sent email to give information, like stated in the arrival email). The driveway is very narrow and steep. The “sidewalk” up to home is very steep and difficult ( if elderly or have issues with legs). Yes the view is nice, firepit is nice. Place is clean. NO INTERNET! Even though wifi (basic email for all their properties) state if any issues with wifi how to fix. We did contact owners and they were willing to send someone to the cabin to assist, but, unfortunately, we had plans and were unable to wait for person to come. We plan this trip for our daughter’s graduation and left hot, sweaty and dissatisfied.

Girls trip
The house was great. The scenery was perfect. The drive up to the cabin was a little scary. Plan on arriving before dark. There were eight of us 40 years and older. The climb to the cabin was steep for us. One of the ladies fell carrying her stuff to the cabin. Perfect place but the seniors had a little bit of a hard time getting to the cabin. Once in the cabin a couple of ladies stayed in the cabin and didn’t leave because of the pathway. Everyone had a great time.

Beautiful view
I booked this property to attend a family reunion in Maggie Valley. If you are looking for seclusion, this is it. The front porch views are amazing. Little to no cell service and no Wi-Fi, so you can definitely turn the outside world off. Lots of dvd’s and vhs movies provided. Hot tub is small, but nice. Kitchen has plenty of dishes and flatware. The log home has a beautiful wood burning stone fireplace. Other things to know… the drive up the mountain is steep and winding, as is the driveway(mostly paved). Parking is limited. The climb from car to house is a full cardio workout and we found it to be slippery following rain. I can’t imagine seniors or those with mobility issues safely making it to house. I would also be very concerned with small children on this property. Arrival night, my son discovered his bed (loft queen) had dirty sheets. We made do with sheets from trundle bed not in use. All of my group(adults) commented on the lack of lighting both inside and out. The grill/hot tub/fire pit area was nice, but had zero lighting that we could find. Both front and back porches(the length of house) had one small light at each door. Same issue inside. It’s almost as if lighting was an afterthought. So dark! We were also very disappointed in the bed and bath linens. Please invest in new! The towels and washcloths are worn out and many are stained. We had trouble with the washing machine and notified property manager. Response was quick, relaying instructions from cleaner.

Amazing view
Had a nice time in the cabin. The walk way up to the cabin is pretty tough especially unloading and toting everything up and back down. Besides that we had a great time and the best view in any cabin we have ever rented!

Mountain stay
Really enjoyed the property. The driveway is a bit unnerving as there are multiple switchbacks and it is very steep. The cabin is wonderful. Very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked. But beware there isn’t much sound insulation- we could hear my Mom cough from our upstairs bedroom when she was in her bed directly below us. She said she could hear us talking as well. The views are wonderful. Most mornings we were above the clouds. One word of caution- the area between where you park and the cabin entrance is steep and not easy to navigate for my 70yo mother. It rained a lot and this walkway of stones was very slippery for most of our stay. It took two of us to help her navigate up and down. A handrail would be a great safety addition.

cabin in the woods
the view was amazing the cabin was clean and big lots of beds and room to hang out bathrooms were great size and worked well. the only part that was rough was as you see the pictures the walk up to the cabin looks somewhat flat it is not it is a steep hill you have to climb to go up. as long as you don't take your elderly mother it is so worth every dime to stay!!!!! loved it Phillips family

Immaculate and Central
Our stay who manage this property are great. I’ve never seen a house so clean. The staff were helpful and resolved a few issues during our stay. The only limitation of this house was the steep drive in and hassle with opening the gate. The grounds were nice but I see potential if they tidied up a bit more, did some gardening and tree trimming. Indeed it was remote and there is no WiFi or LTE with Verizon. That’s a plus or minus depending on what you want. I would suggest this property to those who plan to do a lot of hiking/exploring and using this as a central “home base”, and the cabin is somewhat perched on a steep hill.

This is a great property that made for a very comfortable stay. Everything was as described, and communications were easy. This is a fairly technology free location (no wifi, poor cell reception, old TV), but that's what we were looking for, so this fit the bill perfectly!

Almost heaven
There was 7 of us, tons of room! Ages 6 to 85. Although the path to the house from the parking is a tad steep and uneven my dad went slow and made it. So keep in mind if your bringing older people who are wobbly. But the view is undescribable Its so beautiful. Rocking swinging and relaxing in hot tub. Loved it!

Beautiful location! Very clean.
Clean with nice accommodations! Beautiful views. Loved the front porch and hot tub! Charcoal grill and fire pit was nice too. Be advised that there are hair pins turns up the mountain and up the private driveway. I had a Rav 4 and did fine, but my brother rented a large van and had to reverse quite a few times to make the turns, as well as avoid on-coming traffic. The walk up to the home is steep and not accommodating for those with disabilities or those unsteady on their feet. Enjoyed downtown Waynesville and even spent the day in Pigeon Forge TN.

If you want to go to the mountains and sit in a rocking chair on the front porch and see the beauty God created, this is the place! The cabin is fully updated with what you need. We loved the charcoal grill and hot tub too! We'd like to come back next year. a week earlier! Remember this place is on a mountain and there are no straight roads going up a mountain, so be prepared. We had no problem! Memories forever!
