We had a very attentice host, he made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.I stayed with my family and we all enjoyed it. The cabin has a beautiful view and there was a trail nearby leading down to a creek. The fireplace kept us warm and cozy on the cold nights. All we needed was a longer stay at the cabin.

Eddie's final farewell

The property was amazing! First, the pictures did not do it justice. Everything was beautiful beyond our expectations! It was very clean and weĺl equipped to say the least. It sits at the end of the road and is very private. The views from the deck were heavenly from all angles and the sound of the creek so tranquil! We will definitely be back! The only thing that would make it any more amazing would have been a hot tub on the deck!

Gorgeous views

As others have noted, the drive up to the cabin is a bit daunting. However, it is worth the trip! The cabin is wonderful (we had 7 adults) and the view is amazing. Andy was absolutely wonderful to work with! It was clean except for several dead ants...and those are certainly preferable to live ants. I'd love to come back with my family. I think the space is begging for a hot tub...hope that is in the plan!

Maggie Valley Cabin

It was a beautiful getaway! The view at the cabin is absolutely amazing! The cabin is nice, it accommodated 10 adults just fine. It's under new ownership (I only know this as we had to redo the original booking). The owner is very responsive to questions, as we had some while visiting. The hiking trails around the cabin are fun and all of the hiking around the area was beautiful (if you visit) Soco falls very close and such a beautiful place! The road leading up to the cabin can be a little bit intimidating if you're not used mountains (we are not). The wild life in the area was so beautiful and visit often!! We definitely enjoyed our stay!!

Didn’t Want to Leave

Just wow. This cabin is incredible. Every room takes full advantage of the view which is behind spectacular. Extra blankets are provided, Roku tv for a little family movie night, the fireplace was easy to use with clear instructions, comfortable beds and bedding, and although we didn’t use it because of wind and the risk of fire spread the fire pit had a perfect set up. The large deck was awesome to spend the night watching the sunset and then stargazing. We didn’t want to leave. The drive is long and bumpy but manageable as long as you’re comfortable with mountain roads. The only downside to being up so high in the mountains was water pressure in the showers but everything else was awesome. Well prepped kitchen too with plenty of cookware and ways to prepare your meals. Really truly fantastic family cabin space. I hope we can go back soon!

Great Views!!

This cabin was sold to new owners just a day before our check-in. New owners were good with ensuring that our reservation transfer was smooth. Cabin has excellent views! Overall condition of the cabin is on the older side. I am OK to have a cabin on the older side as long as its priced accordingly. Either price should have been lowered or cabin quality could have been raised to the rental ask price. I hope new owners will spend some money to upgrade the cabin or price its rent accordingly. We have stayed at many cabins and it had one of the best views that we have seen!

Best Cabin in the Valley

Our stay at the cabin was perfect. We had 4 people stay, but it was large enough and can accommodate for way more. The best part was the view from the balcony and the size of the balcony. Which can be used during the day or night with a nice fire. They also provide Cornhole if you want to play that on the balcony too. The bedrooms and living spaces were nice and spacious. Lots of restrooms too. Everything is in good shape and seemed updated. They mentioned they had been doing improvements and had more in store. So I can imagine future stays will be better. The road to get to the cabin is a bit daunting. But we were able to do it in a fully packed minivan and a fully packed sedan. But the location of the cabin is amazing. Right on the edge of the mountain with such a breathtaking view. Everyone on our trip was more than satisfied during our stay at the cabin. Book it asap if you'll be visiting the surrounding area like Asheville or the Smoky Mountains.

Amazing views & comfortable accommodations

Overall, Eagle Ridge Maggie Valley was a great place to stay. The house is nice and comfortable. The views from the deck are amazing. If clear, star gazing is fantastic. There’s a fire pit on the deck, which was a little worrisome with the variable winds and embers potentially landing on the wooden deck. I’d suggest bringing some dry wood as the wood provided was damp and very smoky while burning. The house was clean upon arrival but we were inundated by swarms of ladybugs, some stink bugs, and some yellow jackets that made their way into the house. Not much the host can do about that- just goes with the territory. Just be aware you might need to vacuum up some bugs. The vacuum provided was full of dirt and debris and sort of smelled musty upon use. But, it got the job done. My son and I hiked down to one of the nearby creeks. A bit slippery with wet leaf fall, so be careful. Down is always easier, hiking back up is pretty exhausting unless you’re are a fit 19 year old like my son! Ha! There is one other residence nearby but nobody occupied that house during our stay, so it was very quiet. The other house seems well taken care of. It would have been impossible to reach the house without a 4 wheel drive vehicle had the road been snowy or more wet. Wet leaves and mud made part of the trip scary. It rained the last night and we had difficulty making it out with a front wheel drive vehicle. Not a deal breaker, just be prepared for white knuckles. 😀
