By far one of our favorite properties that we've rented in the Maggie Valley area. This home has one of the most beautiful views we've ever enjoyed in a rental. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms had plenty of towels for everyone. Lots of space for all 4 of us and our dog. Everything was sparkling clean, and check-in was a breeze. Kitchen was large, and there were multiple decks to enjoy for a meal, or just winding down after a long day. We would absolutely stay here again - we liked it so much we made jokes about buying it one day! :D

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this mountain home in Maggie Valley! The home is clean and wonderfully appointed - everything that you need as a family to enjoy a home away from home. The beds are very comfortable and all of the different areas to hang and enjoy time together made for an incredible stay. The location is incredible - perched high atop a mountain side yet convenient to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Great Smoky Mountains NP. We ventured into Asheville for a day, which was also an easy drive. We would definitely stay here again!

Great house. The house is far up the mountain which we loved because we had uninterrupted views and no bright lights at night. We’ll definitely stay here again if back in MV. Fit 6 adults 5 kids well with bonus room.

We had the most wonderful time with our family of children age 1 through 13. The description of the house was very accurate. The home was so beautiful and the view was to die for. The home was easy to get to and close to town but the views were EPIC. Home was super clean and we LOVED our stay so much. We will definitely be back as soon as we can!
