Walked in the door and fell in love. The inside is so comfortable. The baskets were beautiful. Wish I could have this as my home away from home.Outside the foliage and flowers were beautiful. Loved the porch and porch swing. Driveway was steep, but no problem for my husband. Can't wait to go back! Thank you for having us.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Sugar Cabin this February. It defines what a cozy cabin is. Cabin-style living, dining, and bedroom furniture, and the coziness and warmth of a fireplace that we loved! The kitchen is very modern and has all the cooking and serving pieces needed. Watching the snow on the mountain was priceless! Thank you so much!

Sugar Cabin exceeded our expectations; very well stocked and super clean. The immense quiet was perfect. We stayed two weeks with the 2nd week giving us cool mornings and evenings. The fireplace was a treat! The proximity to waterfalls, hikes, sightseeing was perfect. Highly recommend.

Perfect for our needs

This little cabin was the ideal location for us to stay during a family gathering. Close enough to everyone that we could be together in 10 to 15 minutes but located on a lovely wooded stretch of road without a lot of traffic. We had everything we needed and the place was in top-notch condition. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Getaway

Mountain Springs Cabis is as advertised. Homey, well appointed, near to many things yet private enough to feel like you are away from the world. Easy access to highways, Maggie Valley and surrounding areas. A perfect place to get away from it all.
