About this property

Perfect location, creekside, close to skiing, easy paved access, Game Pavilion!

Paradise Found is ideally located at Maggie Valley’s west end, very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Sitting on a year round roaring creek amidst towering trees, it is the perfect base for getting away from it all, enjoying the creek, and visiting the many nearby local attractions and activities. Skiing, golf, fishing, hiking and fall foliage are close at hand, as are lots of cute mountain towns and the fabulous city of Asheville. Waynesville is only fifteen minutes away for shopping and groceries, and The Biltmore Estate is just 35 minutes away. Our cabin has two bedrooms and two bathrooms (split bedroom plan) with the master opening up to the deck and creek. We also have a queen sofa bed in the living room. There is a one car garage in the basement for winter shelter, and a huge detached garage that we have converted to a game pavilion with a pool table, foosball, ping-pong, card table and a huge flat screen TV and couch. Just outside the master bedroom is a wonderful brand new hot tub on the deck looking out to the creek, along with a propane grill, rocking chairs and a nice outdoor table. The game pavilion literally doubles the square footage of the cabin and provides plenty of additional activities that you can enjoy without ever leaving the property!
Skiers take note, this is THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR YOU!! Easy year round access and right next to the road going up to skiing. You can’t beat Paradise Found for your winter headquarters too!
Our guests are provided with all paper goods, such as toilet paper and paper towels as well as basic soaps. We also provide firewood. There are no additional fees for approved pets. Garbage pickup is provided at no additional cost. Trailers or large RV’s are NOT permitted due to the lack of maneuvering space on the community roads.

House was pretty clean, but bathroom rugs where soaking wet. Furniture reminds me of what my grandparents looked like 40 years ago, but it is still in good condition. Main tv worked, but wish it was a smart tv.

Perfect creek side cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at Paradise Found! The location was close to town & easy to get to. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the creek & relaxing in the hot tub. We saw elks near by everyday of our stay. The game room was awesome! Plenty of space for our family & two dogs. The property was also surprisingly kid-proofed for our two year old son, which we appreciated! We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome Place

We loved everything about this cabin. The location was great, the beds were very comfortbale. The roaring creek off the back deck and Master bedroom was wonderful. We saw a few Elk strollng down the road which was very exciting to me since I love all animals. We will hopefully be staying here again. The cabin is very well stocked with everything you need. Highly recommend.

Paradise

We absolutely love staying at this cabin year after year. It has everything you need and is so clean and cozy. It’s close to all the shops and restaurants. The sound of the creek just off the deck is so peaceful. And the game room was a big hit even for us adults.

Beautiful and relaxing

For most of the last 20 years we have done an after Christmas get away. Most to the western side of the Smokies. We had grown weary of the Gatlinburg mess and started looking in the western Carolina area. PARADISE FOUND was the perfect find! The family is planning a return already.

Creek fun

We just had a really great stay at Alice’s. You really don’t need to bring anything. Just enjoy the home and creek. There is so much to do in Maggie Valley and the surrounding towns. We always go tubing in Bryson City. Everything was clean and well stocked. Always sad to leave. We will be back soon!

Wonderful Setting. Wonderful Stay.

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The back porch is heavenly. The sounds of the soothing stream were relaxing. The hot tub was perfect! We saw elk and watched them wander and graze through the yard. The setting was simply magical. We got great use out of the game room. Dream spot for teenagers. So many fun family memories made. The neighborhood is lovely, safe and friendly. Ideal for walking our dog. The kitchen was super well stocked. We even made a fire. The home had everything we needed. Generous amenities! Near Blue Ridge Parkway… great views, hikes and waterfalls.

Best Vrbo find... Perfect in every way

We went to Maggie Valley to attend a wedding and ended up in paradise. The host, Alice, was wonderful! The house was spotless, cozy and in the best location. The setting was so tranquil that we sat outside on rocks in the creek listening to the rushing water for 45 minutes. The native plants were lush and green. We didn’t use the game room but it had everything you could ever need for a fun time. We did use the hot tub and it was so relaxing to sit in there surrounded by the woods and on the edge of the creek. We will definitely be back when we can stay longer. Patti and Terry

A little slice of paradise at Paradise Found

We decided to spend our 15th anniversary in Maggie Valley and this cabin did not disappoint. Being from strictly flat land we were a bit nervous about the possibility of snow and ice on mountain roads. This cabin is in the perfect location, right off the main strip and super easy to get to. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. We only saw two vehicles pass our cabin in 5 days. The cabin has everything you could possibly need. The floor plan is excellent for a family or two couples to move around without feeling in each other's way. Then when our home town was hit with its first snow storm in over 100 years and we could not get home Carlos and Alice were gracious enough to extend our stay. This made traveling with our elderly dog much easier, as she doesn’t do well in hotels. Carlos and Alice your kindness has touched our hearts and you’ll always be remembered. We hope to return to Maggie Valley one day and stay at Paradise Found once again. Thank you!!

Awesome Property

Paradise found is definitely the proper name for this place! The only wildlife we saw on property were squirrels and rabbits, but that’s ok. Through Cherokee and the National Park we saw elk, muskrats and turkeys. The house and game room were fantastic! Soco falls was right down the street and beautiful. We also enjoyed sliding rock and coontree picnic area. The beds were a little firm for us but that’s a personal preference that I don’t expect to be perfect. We still slept fine and had an awesome time. Mrs. Alice has this process down to a science, all the info we needed was supplied and we never had to reach out to her for anything. We will be back and I highly recommend this property to everyone!

Perfect Escape

We loved this location. Maggie Valley is the best place to enjoy the Smoky Mountains. The owner was fantastic even getting a new dart board before i arrived. The game room had everything needed to entertain all ages. The creek/waterfall right off the deck was my favorite spot. I was only disappointed that i couldn't extend my stay because another family was on their way. Cant wait to return.
