Loved the property, just wish we could’ve spent more time at the cabin enjoying the sounds of the creek from the back porch…..it was like a steady rain even from inside the cabin.Cabin was tastefully decorated, clean, and comfy, with a bit of whimsy it the kitchen - so cute!All the amenities we needed. It does also have a Keureg for your favorite pods.Didn’t get to see elk but we did get a daily visit by the rabbit. :-)Thanks, Patrick, for the great communication. You managed to answer my questions before I had a chance to ask.It’ll be our first choice for our next trip back.
Really great experience but listing was a little misleading. Hot tub had been removed and you couldn’t see the creek only hear it. Overall we loved it though. Would definitely recommend it
It was perfect for what we wanted to experience. Beautiful historic establishment, breath taking views, every thing you could imagine when wanting a true Maggie Valley experience. Host was great. Cabin was clean, cozy and inviting. Thank you!
We loved the location and the beautiful cabin! It was the perfect space for our family of 5. Very cozy and comfortable. We loved the proximity to Cataloochee. We were also so blessed to see several elk in the morning right out our front door.
We had a wonderful time during our stay. This is one of the nicest, coziest and most relaxing stay we have had in a very long time. We will definitely be booking again. If you want a getaway where you can relax and just enjoy your family then this is the place for you.

Thank you for such a kind review and especially for being such great guests!
Unfortunately there was a maintenance issue with the property and a cleanliness problem. We did not spend the night and left soon after arrival. The property owner was very apologetic and eventually we were refunded our money. These issues should have been resolved prior to another renter. And by the way, there is no hot tub or dishwasher. And be careful of the steps.
Everything was wonderful !We loved the sound of the creek by the warm fire at night and In the morning with my coffee wrapped in my one blanket would come again
The cabin is beautiful! The location was quiet and peaceful! We loved being able to hear the creek from the living room. Having coffee on the front porch swing was the best! We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be staying again in the near future!

Charming cabin in the woods with great location for skiing! Memorable and cozy stay.
We had a nice relaxing stay. Loved the old cabin and the unique feel of the property and was the perfect place to set outside on the porch with a cup of coffee.
Easy check-in. Cabin has everything you need for away from home stay. Quiet location. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit and listening to the water rushing by in the creek. We enjoyed our stay at Patrick’s cabin.
