Christmas in Maggie Valley

Lovely time with several family members in a fully equipped mountain cabin. Enjoyed the quiet and dark skies with a true view of the array of stars we miss in our urban environment. Easy 20 minute drive to groceries. House was clean and well maintained. Appreciated the hot tub and the WiFi. Will try to come again.

Beautiful Secluded Getaway

House was clean and very comfortable. Check in/out process was very efficient and simple. Relaxing on the deck was our favorite part. We did have an issue with internet but host was very responsive and it was reconnected. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Good place

The cabin was nice and in a cool place. However, we were counting on internet because we were searching for property to buy. We stayed 10 days with no internet nor cel phone reception. A good place to get away from internet or cel phone. However if you plan to rent, you should contact the owner to see if internet is working before you rent.

Perfect little getaway!

My little family traveled from Chattanooga, TN all the way up the little mountain to Sawtooth! It was a cozy little home with everything we needed to unplug and relax for the weekend. The views were breathtaking (as was the gravel road to the home! lol). Once we got up the mountain, we didn’t want to go back down. We wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you for having us!

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing stay in the mountains

The house is beautifully located in the mountains outside of Maggie Valley. It had all the amenities you need to be able to escape and enjoy some quiet time. The internet does not work and there is little service, so it does help you feel "off the grid". The team were wonderful at communicating with us and easy to get in touch with.

We enjoyed the property and the views. The internet was pretty much non-existent rather than "spotty" as described in the listing. We still enjoyed being able to disconnect and enjoy nature and each other. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home.

A fall trip to Maggie Valley that didn't disappoint

We just went to Maggie Valley to enjoy the fall colors and weather and it didn't disappoint. We were probably a week late for "peak fall" but the colors there were AMAZING. We went to Lake Lure 2 years ago at the same time and wasn't anything like this. We went back to look at our pictures and everything was still green. Even the locals said this year was far better than they have had in a while. The trip was the wife and I along with 2 of our friends so the house was perfect for us. When we do trips like this it's all about views and having a hot tub. The road and driveway coming up to the house really isn't bad at all and I'm not too crazy about driving in those conditions. The worst part of it is actually paved so it's even easier. The house doesn't come with a lot of the odds and ends that most other houses have stocked so you need to bring everything except salt and pepper. The cell service is bad but you can get just enough if you stand on the porch closer to the grill area. We just left our phones out there. The fire pit area was really nice and wasn't bad getting to it. The location the house is at is great. We went to Soco Falls which was probably 10 minutes away and a short hike down. We went to Waterrock Knob which was probably 20 minutes away and on the Blue Ridge Parkway so a really nice drive. You can see Elk in the neighborhood. Joey's Pancakes is good but closes at like noon and about a hour wait. Of course we hit all the little shops and had creekside lunch at Smoky Falls Lodge. Amazing place. Things I don't like. I don't like when these groups act like they are a 400 unit Hilton and have a 4 o clock check in. Why not just make check in at 7 that way we can just check in and go straight to bed. Up there in the Mountains it gets dark early. I also don't like how the house wasn't stocked with the small things like coffee filters or paper towel etc. Most people leave these kind of things and should last a long time there. We shop for everything before we arrive so then you wake up the next morning not able to make coffee because there aren't filters around because you can't think of everything after driving all day to get there. They need to do a little better telling you how to get into the house. It says in the confirmation email that they will tell you how to get in day of and they answered all of my other questions except what the door code was (and this is part of them not wanting you there until 4) until you get there.

Awesome Mountain Retreat

Enjoyed the cabin in late October and really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was as advertised and was very clean and organized. The communication and check in process was flawless. The area was beautiful with a combination of the beautiful mountains, hiking, fall color, quaint town and not far from Asheville if you wanted to visit. Plus, coming home to the cozy cabin and hot tub made it extra nice. The cabin is great for all 4 seasons but, winter would definitely require a 4WD vehicle. The only negative is the lack of internet service if you needed it. Cell coverage (calls) was fine though
