House is beautiful and so many wonderful amenities to take advantage of! Host was super responsive on some small things that weren’t working for us. Beautiful views off deck, loved the free weights, loved the games, etc for our family.

We are so glad you loved the house and views. You were wonderful guests, and we'd love to host you again!
Great hostess, answered all our questions and concerns. Beautiful house, all 22 people were very comfortable. Plenty of space and everything you need for a large group!
My family had the best time in this beautiful house! There was so much to do for my grandchildren! It was very clean, inviting, and most certainly spacious! Racquel was a great host! We look forward to making more memories in Ridgeview Retreat!

Stayed here for our annual golf trip. 12 adult men and the place was perfect! Racquel was great and immediately helped with an issue that was out of her control. I can't recommend this home highly enough and hope to visit again!

Thanks for the kind review! I am so glad the house was perfect for your annual golf trip. It was a pleasure to host you and your friends; you were terrific guests, and we would love to welcome you back anytime!
House was as advertised and the host added bonus touches that really put the experience over the top. Wonderful place. The road up to the house is unpaved and a little difficult to navigate if you’re not a confident driver or have an oversized vehicle, but the house was amazing.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the house and the thoughtful little extras — it's great to hear they made your stay even more special.
You're right to mention the road — it is unpaved, so we always recommend driving with a bit of caution, especially if you're not used to dirt roads. We really appreciate you highlighting that for future guests.
Thanks again for choosing to stay with us — we'd love to welcome you back anytime!
Great house-a couple of small issues. 4 stars because the roads in and out really should have 4 wheel drive vehicles. Uff.

Thank you for your review and for choosing to stay with us — we're so glad to hear you enjoyed the house!
We appreciate your feedback regarding the roads. While the access roads are indeed dirt and gravel, most of our guests find them manageable with regular vehicles during the spring, summer, and fall. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is only required during the winter months when snow or ice may be present.
We understand that road conditions can feel a bit rustic, but they’re part of the charm of being tucked away in a peaceful, more secluded mountain setting. We’ll be sure to clarify this better.
Thanks again for your stay, we would love to host you anytime!
We had an incredible stay at Ridgeview retreat in Maggie Valley! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully designed for maximum comfort and fun. The cabin itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with everyone in the family in mind. The highlight was definitely the endless entertainment options available—there was something for everyone, from board games, fully equipped game rooms for the kids, an incredible theater room and plenty of cozy spaces (including a sauna) for all to unwind. The outdoor areas, including the hot tub and fire pit, provided the perfect setting for relaxation after a day of exploring the area. Whether you’re looking for adventure or simply a peaceful retreat, this cabin has it all. It truly made our family getaway unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Maggie Valley, NC! The location was perfect—peaceful and tucked away, but still just 45 minutes from Asheville and close to so many great activities like hiking, rafting, horseback riding, and tubing (most within 20 minutes).The house was spotless when we arrived and incredibly comfortable throughout. We especially loved the amenities: the hot tub had its own towels, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the game room was a huge hit with our group. It had a pool table, shuffleboard table, foosball table, puzzles, and board games. The cozy theater room was perfect for movie nights, too.The space felt both spacious and cozy—exactly what we were hoping for—and looked just like the photos. The host went above and beyond, responding quickly to any questions and surprising us with thoughtful touches like a welcome basket, s’mores kit, and a DIY waffle bar.This home is perfect for a large family or group, and we would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful stay in Maggie Valley and that the home exceeded your expectations. It means a lot to us that you noticed the thoughtful touches and enjoyed the space!
We’re glad your family enjoyed the variety of amenities, and it’s great to know that the peaceful yet central location worked so well for your adventures in hiking, rafting, and more. We would love to host you again anytime.
Three generations of my family (ages 17 - 87) spent a week at Ridgeview Retreat. The house is large, spacious, well-appointed, clean, comfortable and has spectacular views of the mountains. I appreciated Racquel's attention to detail and the comprehensive binder she has created with information about the house, nearby attractions, and dining recommendations. The home is not far from town but feels serene and secluded. There are plenty of games and tvs inside the house but we mostly enjoyed the nature views from the expansive decks and screened-in porch. We even got to see a mama bear and her four cubs pass through the property!We explored nearby towns such as Cherokee, Sylva (eat at Ilda!), Bryson City, Lake Junaluska, Asheville and even Dollywood. We also enjoyed Smokey Mountain National Park and driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We did try to always return to the house before dark as the last stretch to the house is gravel, narrow, and winding, which we are not used to driving on. Highly recommend this home for a large group!

About the host
Hosted by Racquel
We love outdoor adventures, travel, and exploring beautiful scenic places. We love to gather and vacation with our family and friends. These memories are our favorites and hold a special place in our hearts, so when we found a cabin that perfectly blends these things, we fell instantly in love. With its majestic views, spacious rooms to gather and play, and ideal location close to all the area's outdoor adventures and attractions, we knew this would be an extraordinary mountain retreat. We have set out to create a luxurious getaway with relaxed vibes that our guests would enjoy as much as we do. Ridgeview Retreat has been thoughtfully designed to offer relaxation, entertainment, and well-appointed spaces to bond with friends and loved ones. It is our pleasure to share this special place with you!
Why they chose this property
As your hosts, we're excited to share our favorites in the Great Smoky Mountains, from restaurants to waterfalls, fishing spots, the best hiking trails, and more. The area offers lots of family-friendly activities. Once your reservation is complete, a digital guidebook and house manual will be available.
We hope you love this area as much as we do. Nestled in beautiful Maggie Valley and the Great Smoky Mountains, our cabin offers a secluded and peaceful retreat yet is centrally located to area attractions and adventures. Enjoy hiking, fishing, golfing, chasing waterfalls, tubing, horseback riding, UTVs, and wildlife viewing in Cataloochee Valley. Our cabin has easy access to Blue Ridge Parkway, Soco Falls, Cataloochee Ski Area, Cherokee, Harrah's Casino, Waynesville, Asheville, Lake Junaluska, Great Smoky Mountains Railroad and Polar Express, white water rafting in Nantahala Outdoor Center, and so much more.
Our neighborhood also boasts hidden gems away from the usual tourist spots. It is a beautiful scenic area with amazing views, magnificent streams and waterfalls, and abundant wildlife. The streams have cascading mini waterfalls and tranquil pools perfect for fishing, wading, or even a cool dip in the water. Cranberry Falls, a breathtaking mountain cascade, is another stunning natural beauty. You can explore these wonders by driving your car—or riding UTVs through the neighborhood—all just a few minutes away from your doorstep. Please note the farther you drive into the neighborhood to explore (past our property), the rougher the roads get; higher clearance vehicles and AWD are recommended.
What makes this property unique
Our property is an exceptional retreat for gatherings of family and friends. Prepare to be enchanted by the awe-inspiring mountain vistas visible from both the interior and expansive decks. This spacious cabin, over 5000 square feet, provides ample room and entertainment for large gatherings and personal relaxation.
