About this property

Enchanted Secluded Cabin w/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit, and Pets Welcome

With a cool elevation of 4393 and 1465 Sq. Ft in size, this beautifully decorated cabin has cozy rooms, hardwood flooring, wood-burning fireplace, hot tub, and two decks with winter mountain views. ROKU and Fire TV streaming with YoutubeTV login provided. Bring your own Netflix/other streaming login. DVD library, stereo, board games for entertainment. T-Mobile Business Wifi. We usually can get around 40 Mmbps download speeds, but occasionally there is some buffering on streams. Because of the remoteness of the property, fiber internet is not available, so if super fast and reliable internet is needed for work, this may not be the cabin for you. There are two beds: King and Queen. Smaller adults or children are able to sleep on the two sofas in the living room.

Enjoy the cool mountain air as you grill out on the upper deck in the evenings. Quiet location on Property Owner Association maintained gravel road. All linens are furnished, full kitchen with all appliances and full-size washer and dryer provide all the comforts of home. THIS PROPERTY HAS NO A/C, but is at an elevation that it never gets uncomfortably hot. We strongly recommend 4WD or AWD due to the steepness of the driveway, and 4WD/AWD is required from November to April. GPS directions could be inaccurate, please follow directions included in check in message. It is possible to take 2WD up but not recommended especially if you are not familiar driving in the mountains. Please use 4WD and don't drive fast up the driveway to avoid damage.

What to do in the Maggie Valley Area: Maggie Valley and the surrounding area truly has something for every member of the family. If hiking & nature are your favorite things, or if you are more interested in golf at one of the area courses, the cool temperatures and friendly natives will make your stay pleasurable. The cabin is very close to the Soco Falls trailhead. Several riding stables, including Queens Farm and Cataloochee offer trail rides daily. Skiing is minutes away in the early spring and fall at Cataloochee Ski Resort. Numerous rafting companies operate on the Nantahala River and several levels of excitement await the rafting enthusiasts. A word to the wise--the water here is from the mountains and it is notoriously chilly! The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad has scenic tours through the mountain passes boarding at the station in Dillsboro--check departure times and inquire about the sunset tours as well. A great spot to view elk is to visit Cataloochee Valley, but be careful on the road in.

Beautiful Asheville: A quick 30 minutes east on I-40 lies the town of Asheville, with its charming old downtown, dotted with quaint shops and delicious gourmet restaurants. If you are lucky, you'll be in town for the Southern Highland Craft Fair at the Asheville Civic Center and see the finest the area's crafters have to offer. In southern Asheville (Exit 50 on I-40) is Biltmore Village, home of the famous Biltmore Estate and Winery. If you have never been to the Biltmore, it is a must see and a delightful way to spend the day. Like any large city, Asheville has a very nice mall and excellent traditional dining, but also beautiful gardens everywhere, and enchanting southern architecture at every turn. Probably what attracts us to Asheville the most are the great antiquing opportunities. Antique malls, barns and warehouses dot the city and we have great fun both window shopping and collecting. If you get a chance, go see the beautiful old Grove Park Inn on Charlotte Street

Venturing to the West: The Cherokee Indian Reservation and Harrah's Casino are a 30 minute drive to the West on Route 19. On the other side of beautiful Smoky Mountain National Park, about a 1 1/2 hour drive, is Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Gatlinburg is known for its unusual assortment of interesting shops, Ripley's Museum, and restaurants. Pigeon Forge is an amazing artisan community with many galleries and working studios. Pigeon Forge is home to Dollywood–Dolly Parton's popular theme park and the area is a haven for outlet shoppers as well.

Great mountain getaway

We had a wonderful stay. Everything you could need was provided and the location was so close to the Blue Ridge Parkwqy. We were able to explore all around. Our favorite find was close to the cabin, the Soco waterfall. We highly recommend stopping by. And the cabin was so clean. We would definitely stay here again!

Our first visit to the Smokies

Property was pretty much as expected. The owner, Gordon, checked on us via email the day we arrived. We used the home as a base of operation to relax and see the neighboring communities of Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Sylva, and Gatlinburg. A good stay.

Relaxing Trip

We had a couple issues that were beyond anyone's control but Gordon was very responsive and handled everything immediately. Great secluded spot that is only a short drive to lots of activities and shops. It rained several days that we were here but there were lots of games and movies to keep us entertained. Was a very relaxing trip.

Wonderfully Calming

My Wife and I stayed in this beautiful cabin for a week in November while the leaves all fell off the trees. All the essential needs were easily accessible, and the cabin was in wonderful shape. Be careful of the driveway climb. The host is correct to recommend 4x4.

Amazing property!

The only complaint that I have is that I couldn’t stay longer. The property manager was quick to respond to our questions (which were minimal). Maggie’s Valley reminds me of something out of a Hallmark movie, but we were honestly just as happy to stay in the cabin as we were to go in to town. First class experience for sure!

Perfect Retreat

We picked this property as an escape from the summertime heat of the city where we live. It was absolutely perfect for that purpose. The property itself is well-designed and maintained, the amenities are top-notch, and the proximity to all kinds of things to do in and around Asheville and the Smokey Mountains means you'll never get bored. We'll be back.

Romantic Getaway in the Mountains

Everything was exactly as described. The cabin was very clean and had lots of amenities. But the best part was the views and being in the smoky mountains. We enjoyed our coffee on both porches. We also enjoyed the hot tub everyday after yikes and white water rafting. The cabin was very convenient being less than an hour from Asheville and also less than an hour from Bryson City and the national park. Gordon was very pleasant and helpful to work with. Check in was seamless and he was always available if and when we had questions. We can’t wait to come back!

Home Away From Home

If we could move into this cabin we would in a heartbeat! Such a beautiful location off the beaten path and away from all things stressful and u healthy! Gordon was an amazing host who was so tentative to our needs and checked in us frequently!! The cabin was as clean, well stocked with cooking utensils, spices, oil..you name it, he had it!! The hot tub was amazing in the evenings after long hikes in the park. We had quite the storm with high winds and major rain but the power was a champ and held on for dear life through it all!! We will definitely be coming back with our kids and our dog for our annual summer trip if he’ll have us!!

Love the wolves theme and quietness.

It was easy getting to the property. When we pulled up to the house it looked just like the picture on their site. when we went inside it was beautiful. We loved the pictures of wolves and all the other things that matched. The house was very clean it had all the utensils, plates, cups, pots and pans that we needed to cook. Beds slept very comfortable and the bedrooms had the wolf theme also. We felt right at home. Even the hottub was very relaxing. Very clean bathrooms and we loved the actual guietness of the home and mountains. It really was HOME AWAY FROM HOME. we will rent from this management again. We didn't want to leave.. Maggie and Danny.

This property delivered!

In choosing a cabin we were looking for several things: a king sized bed, comfy furniture, a hot tub, a beautiful view and seclusion—and this placed delivered! Gordon was quickly responsive to our needs. The bed was especially comfortable. (And an added bonus—the kitchen even had a knife sharpener!) We left just wishing we could have stayed longer.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Rusinko

Host profile image
I grew up in Columbia, MD which is a suburb in between Baltimore and Washington. My wife and I bought the cabin because of the unique rustic atmosphere and because the Smoky Falls community is not too far from all of the attractions of Western North Carolina. We hope to take our toddler age daughter on many hiking trips and explorations around Maggie Valley--one of the highest valleys on the East coast.

Why they chose this property

Dancing Wolves is fairly new as cabins go, and has modern appliances, fixtures, and we had little to do to make it a welcoming destination for vacationers. The large porches were a plus and being outside in the Summer here never gets old.

What makes this property unique

The wildlife at Dancing Wolves is truly special and you might even see the occasional mama bear with her cubs at certain times during the year. The elevation of 4400 ft. makes Dancing Wolves much cooler year round than homes in most sections of Maggie Valley, and we were particularly excited about that. Bring a sweater, even in summer!
