Wonderful!

The property manager was very responsive & helpful. The place was beautiful, loved the water constantly flowing outside & the two porch areas! Tons of pots/pans & small amenities. My only slight critiques are that the beds are VERY firm & we could’ve used a few more towels so we didn’t have to wash them so often. Overall, fantastic, well-worth the money & we may stay here again! :)

Perfect nook near everything but still secluded!

Traveled with my husband and 4 kiddos, they loved the creek and I loved the coziness of the home. Beds were comfortable and rooms upstairs were spacious. We loved feeling like we were in the mountains without having to drive far for food or the main road. Great central location to lots of local sites. The owner was super helpful and answered quickly. We absolutely loved our stay.

Great getaway

This was the perfect place for my visit to the area. I was in town to ride the roads around the Blue Ridge Mountains and this location was perfectly in between everything I wanted to ride. The place was super clean and I found it had everything I needed as far as amenities (towels, plates, cups, utensils, coffee pot, etc). The use of the garage was extra nice.!

Lovely, comfortable, great back deck

The star of the place, for me, was the covered back deck overlooking the creek. The front door seemed hard to open. A good, firm push is all it took once I realized.

Awesome Hosts and Location

This townhouse was very well stocked and in a great location of Maggie Valley. Close to skiing, hiking, the blue ridge parkway, and Waynesville (Publix, shopping etc). Comfortable beds, laundry room, a gas fireplace and a cool river/ fire pit in the backyard are some of the highlights!! The hosts are very nice and responsive. Highly recommend! Good for families and pet friendly! Thanks

Cozy townhome

My husband and I needed a quick getaway and stumbled across this property. It was so convenient to all the places we wanted to visit. Much more important though was how clean and orderly it was, not to mention comfortable.The email we received prior to our visit was very helpful. If we're ever back in the Maggie Valley area this townhome will be our first choice for accommodations. Thanks for everything,

Hidden Gem

Over the years my family and I have stayed at various VRBO rentals from the mountains to the coast of NC. This was one of the best! It was so clean and all the special touches the owners have waiting for you are so nice and thoughtful. Having the creek running behind the property si just heaven! Our whole family enjoyed the stay there and hope to return again soon!
