Cozy log cabin near the Smoky Mountains

Sugar Cabin is a comfortable and nicely furnished log cabin nestled on a wooded lot in the Sugar Valley Springs neighborhood near the historic town of Waynesville and Maggie Valley.. The Smoky Mountain National Park and Cataloochee Valley area are few miles away with quick access to amazing day hikes, breathtaking vistas, waterfalls and rivers, and the world-renowned Blue Ridge Parkway.. The cabin is only a short drive to the Cataloochee Ski Area while the City of Asheville, with all its great restaurants, shops, breweries, art galleries, architectural marvels, and funky/hip yet sophisticated vibe is a mere thirty-five minutes away. Access to the Blue Ridge Parkway is easy, while Waynesville and Maggie Valley offer restaurants, grocery and drug stores, wine cellars, antique shops and most anything else you might require. Take amazing day trips, hikes, and adventures, and return to your cozy cabin to recoup and relax for the evening.
Sugar Cabin is fully stocked with furnishings, appliances, linens, kitchen ware, etc., accommodates up to five people, (4 adults and 1 children) with two in the principal bedroom in a hickory pole king-sized bed and ensuite bathroom with shower, two in the guest room with a queen-sized bed, and one in the open living area on a high-quality inflatable queen-sized bed. A second bathroom with shower, tub and washer and dryer is situated between the bedrooms and common area. The living area and principal bedroom open, via sliding glass doors, to the expansive wood deck with rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, a swinging bench, a fire table and a Bristol table ideal for relaxing while enjoying views of the valley below and mountains beyond.
Entertainment is provided by a new 65-inch 4K smart TV (Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, etc.) in the living area, as well as a TV with Roku in the principal bedroom. High speed Wi-Fi internet access is provided, and a desk offers a dedicated place for laptop sessions in the common area. Board games and cards are provided for fun evenings. A Weber propane grill sits just outside the living area, and the large open kitchen (supplied with all new cutlery, chinaware, pots, pans, and equipment) features a gas oven and stove with a flat griddle built in. A remotely controlled gas fireplace in the living room offers ample warmth and a soothing ambiance on cold nights, while a central HVAC system delivers heated or cooled air to the cabin as needed. Ceiling fans in the living room and each bedroom enhance year-round comfort.
This clean, well-equipped cabin situated just outside of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park offers access to boundless hiking and sightseeing options in a world famous natural and historic environment. Each season offers a special experience - from spectacular fall colors to winter sports activities, or the long days and festivals of summer, there is much to admire and enjoy here. Beyond endless hiking trails (over 800 miles in the Smokies) and amazing long range mountain vistas, the area offers white water rafting, trout fishing, gambling (at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, not far away), winter snow skiing and tubing, lake boating, zip-lining, a famous motorcycle museum, seasonal festivals and farmer’s markets, antique hunting, old barns and cabins, amazing photography, moonshine sampling, mountain biking, horseback riding, animal spotting (elk, deer, turkey, bears, birds, etc.) and – perhaps most alluringly – relaxation and rejuvenation in the fresh mountain air. And, when the desire for urban amenities strikes, head to Asheville for the day - with the calming assurance that the mountain cabin awaits.

Small but good
This is a nice, small cabin. The cabin was very clean when we arrived and getting in was easy. The roads to access the property are good and not too challenging for the mountains. The driveway is steep but short so as long as the weather is good there are no issues there. WiFi worked well and the gas logs were a great addition. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans if you want to cook, but Waynesville is just down the road if you prefer to eat out. Be aware that this cabin is in a neighborhood, so if you're looking for a secluded place this isn't it. If you don't mind other cabins/houses nearby this is a great choice that we would book again without any concerns.

Magically Peaceful
My wife and I Had a very peaceful and relaxing time at this place. We had been touring the area from Charleston to Columbia to Charlotte and then to Ashville and it seemed like every where we went, it was chaos with the traffic, so coming to this cabin was definitely what we needed to get away from all the noise and bad drivers. This cabin sets in the perfect place if you just want peace and quiet. We watched the humming birds in the morning and enjoyed the fire flies at night. We couldn't have booked the more perfect place. Thank you Maria.

Lovely Property
Spent a long week at Sugar Cabin. Spotlessly clean. Well equipped with quality linens and furnishings. The kitchen has all the basics for cooking. Great porch area, woodsey views, clean bathrooms, wonderful beds and not too far from town. The property manager was very friendly and responded promptly. Would have extended our stay, and did so by a day, but sadly new guests were on the way. The driveway is a bit of a challenge, but just take it slow and you will be fine. Not too secluded but still feels private. There is a horse farm nearby and the horses and riders use the roads so take it easy. There are but four steps with banisters into the cabin so access is pretty good with all rooms on one level. This was great for my new knee. Would rent again.

Great Christmas trip
The cabin was immaculant and exactly as described. Everything from the dishes to the furniture was new and of great quality. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very spacious and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. We loved sitting around the dining table or by the huge fireplace enjoying each other's company. Would definitely rent again!

Vay-cay getaway!
We loved this property, it was perfect for our vay-cay getaway. The property manager was easy to communicate with and very helpful with a request to add an additional night to our stay. We love the area as we’re very familiar with it, the home is perfectly located near many places. My biggest issue is the ‘neighbors’, understandably this is ‘not a concern or reflection’ of the home itself or the property manager at all, but, the neighbors are quite noisy—they talk ‘very loud’ from one house to another, there’s at least 3 dogs close by that bark at all times throughout the day into the early evening and one neighbor down the hill that ruined an ‘entire’ lovely day of weather outside by burning leaves, running a blower and mower all day, even well after dark! So much for serenity... that was my only disappointment here and again, this is not a concern or reflection of the home/manager—just want to be honest with others who may be looking for a peaceful, serene environment around them. The front porch is awesome with a swing and gas firepit... just wish we could have enjoyed it more in peace and quiet. Thank you for the stay bc other than the annoying nearby noises... this is a wonderful home!!!

Everything Perfect Except the Pillows
Beautiful cabin, perfect for myself, my daughter, and son-in-law, for a few days. The welcome gift of a bottle of wine was a nice touch. The cabin was very clean, and everything worked. Relaxing on the porch was a bonus. Comfortable beds, horrible pillows. If you like a soft or feather pillow you will have to bring your own. The driveway is steep and room for only one car to turn around, room for two cars for parking at the top.

This little cabin was the ideal location for us to stay during a family gathering. Close enough to everyone that we could be together in 10 to 15 minutes but located on a lovely wooded stretch of road without a lot of traffic. We had everything we needed and the place was in top-notch condition. We would definitely stay here again!
