Excellent stay! House was exactly as pictured and so cozy! It rained a few days while we were there and it was just as fun hanging at the cabin! Everything was clean and organized. 4 wheel drive was 100% necessary which we knew ahead of time so that was no problem at all. House was stocked with everything we needed but stores were also near by to pick up anything! If you’re looking for a true mountain cabin this one is for you! :)

Awesome View Indeed

The cabin lived up to its name. The view is gorgeous! Cozy cabin with all of home conveniences. Upgraded GE appliances and lots of fluffy bath towels Very quiet and peaceful. Host was readily available and quick to answer any questions we had. The road leading to the cabin was bumpy and very rough. Would not recommend driving at night. All in all 10 out of 10

What a view!

We have been staying in the Smokies for many years and this is the best view we have ever had! The cabin is very nice and comfortable. It was spotless clean and well maintained. The property management were very friendly and addressed our every need quickly and promptly. The road getting to the cabin is exactly as advertised, what an adventure and a memory we will never forget. It was a great week!

Awesome view hardly describes

My wife and i stayed here this past weekend and man what a view. Simply beautiful at all times of the day. The house is definitely on the side of a mountain so 4wd is a must. And there are 2 ways to get up there i recommend the 2nd as it is pretty much a straight shot. It is still a little rutted from the hurricane a month ago. Communication with the owner was extremely easy and kept me up to date on the area status after the hurricane. The house was really clean other than some dog hair and finger smudges on the glass. Be sure to bring everything you need to cook with as it is a bare kitchen other than pans pots and plates. It was a wonderful stay and would highly recommend if you are looking a private scenic memorable stay in maggie valley.

Great View!

Believe the description regarding the drive/road up to the cabin. We had a 4WD and it was a kidney buster. Overall the cabin is clean and as described. I highly recommend that you take your own towels and wash cloths. The few that were provided were a bit threadbare.

Renter beware

The road to the cabin is as described. The cabin has a nice view but that’s about it. The furniture is dated, the sofa smells like dog and there are fleas on it. The owner has a WiFi thermostat and gas it set to go to 55 degrees at 3:15 A.M. The bedroom window doesn’t close completely so the master bedroom is cold. There is no trash pick up so you have to take the trash 20 minutes away or be charger $35 for the first kitchen sized bag then $5 for additional bags. We checked out on Sunday and the dump is closed on Sunday. There are multiple other issues but the biggest issue is the property management company is a nightmare to deal with. They will keep your deposit for old damage and blame you for not checking the cabin thoroughly at check in.

Perfect Weather Great Views

Weather was breezy and in the 70s. Lots of hummingbirds around the deck. They were fun to watch. Road is steep and treacherous so 4WD is necessary as the listing states. Great sized cabin. Had a pleasant stay.

The views are amazing!!!

We stayed in Maggie Valley so we could go to the Pow Wow on the Cherokee reservation, not far from there. It is a perfect, secluded get away with amazing views! The hot tub was an added bonus! We went in July, and I would still recommend an all wheel drive vehicle! Thank you for letting us stay!

Week long getaway to the Smoky Mountains.

The cabin was amazing. The view truly was awesome. Everything was very clean and in good working order. I would highly recommend this cabin. You can get to it in 2 Wheel Dr., but four-wheel-drive is easier.

Beautiful Scenery

Great getaway location located less than an hour drive between other sightseeing destinations. Loved the quiet and beauty, and the cabin had everything we needed. When they say you must have a 4x4 or AWD they are not kidding! Was great that they allowed pets so my dog could get away with us and enjoy the time away. Would definitely recommend this cabin!

Beautiful location, best price and well stocked with just about anything you could need

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation is in such a stunning location. The interior is warm and cozy but so spacious. We had forgotten some kitchen items and were so glad to find the kitchen stocked with spices, cooking oil, aluminum foil, scissors even duct tape! There was an abundance of nice thick towels of various sizes which was really nice.

Accurate Listing, Read others Comments for best expectation

We enjoyed this property immensely; the hot tub is a nice touch. The road up to the property is rough and 4-wheel drive made it much more manageable. Slight upgrades would make this property even more luxurious such as better shower heads and toilet seats (as the one in the master pinches your legs). Overall we would book this property again, very beautiful view of Smokies especially when it snows!

Perfect for a short retreat!

It was perfect for a retreat for 3 pastors. Equipped with all the necessities. The view is amazing. Mornings are breathe-taking. It’s private and cozy—Nights in the hot tub and mornings enjoying the view while sipping coffee.
