About this property

Suite Escape Mountainside Retreat

We are in the middle of everything that people come to Maggie Valley for. Our intention is for your stay to be a memorable experience!
Suite Escape is in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. It is a stylishly decorated ground level of our home with a private entrance.
The kitchen is complete with a full size refrigerator, convection/toaster oven, microwave oven, electric skillet, hot plate with ceramic saucepan, regular drip and Keurig coffee makers. Cable TV is available in both the living room with DVD player and the bedroom. You have your own private deck that runs the length of the house. You may take the table and chairs outside on the deck for al fresco dining. There is a heated mattress pad on the king size bed for frosty nights! We use all organic and non-toxic cleaning products.
Guest Access:The entrance door has a keyless entry system & guests will be issued a unique passcode before arrival.
Guests may use the driveway to unload. Parking is available on the upper level for your vehicles. We are motorcycle friendly. We may share our garage space by special arrangement.

Interaction with Guests

We live on the upper level of the home, so most of the time we'll be available to our guests. We are happy to loan household items as needed and offer recommendations . Washer and Dryer may be available for use by special arrangement.

The Neighborhood

Our neighborhood is a great place to walk. If you like to hike, you can go all the way to the top of the mountain and Maggie Overlook!
We are near some great restaurants and local shops, and we're walking distance from the Maggie Valley Festival Grounds. It's a 10 minute drive to Waynesville and the grocery store, it's 20 minutes to Cherokee and the Great Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park.

Getting Around

It is recommended to have your own vehicle. If you will be coming in the winter, 4WD or AWD is helpful. However, if we have heavy snow, you can park at the bottom of Summit. Let us know and we will help you up the 0.4 mile to the house.

Other Things to Note

We are biker friendly. We are 4/10 mile from the highway, and there is a bit of a climb, but bikes pass by our house all the time!

Amazing Suite Escape

Second stay at Suite Escape and it was just as delightful as before! Spring time brings beautiful tree canopy and shaded landscape for coffee or meals on the deck. So enjoyable.

This is a great space to stay at!! Locate on the side of a mountain in a peaceful, serene setting. Space was clean and comfortable with many extras and amenities. Communication was great as Mel met us upon arrival and explained all of the nuances of the space. We would love to stay there again.

Wonderful Getaway

Mel was a great host who you can genuinely feel cares about his guests and their comfort and enjoyment. The suite under their home was perfect for my girlfriend, me, and our 2 dogs. It was a great location close to anything you want to visit in Maggie Valley or Waynesville. Would recommend to anybody wanting to visit the area.

Home away from home

Our stay couldn’t have been more perfect! Our hosts were more than accommodating and had everything available that we needed. Even though the space was under their living quarters, we were tucked away with a beautiful view and complete privacy. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely Mountain Suite

This was The Best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! Beautifully situated with a treehouse like feel. The deck was lovely and large enough for our dog to move about. Mel and Lynda were amazing hosts. The Suite was spacious and lacked nothing. Had I noticed that we needed something our hosts had assured us all we had to do was ask! Would definitely book there again!

Mel's place

Truly a home away from home. The house was stocked with everything we could have ever needed (and then some)! When we initially checked in we felt so comfortable we went & picked up a pizza from down the street (Bizarro's, highly recommended!!) and had an amazing "family night" at home with our toddler & senior dog. If given the opportunity we will 100% stay here again. Thank you so so much!

About the host

Hosted by Mel Fergenbaum and Lynda Saffell

Host profile image
Mel and Lynda moved from the Tampa Bay area in 2009 because we love the mountains and four beautiful seasons! We love meeting new people, and sharing our experience of the area with them. We own Mountain Spirit Wellness in Maggie Valley, so you have massage and yoga classes at your fingertips.
With 5 children between us, we enjoy traveling to visit family, and also parts of the world we've never seen.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is a forest and so peaceful. We loved the cathedral ceiling and windows on the main floor, and while inside the house, you don't see other houses - just wonderful nature!
It's also within 15 minutes of grocery shopping and other necessities, and only 30 minute drive to Asheville.

What makes this property unique

The deck is a special place to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine - a great place to relax and hang out!
Suite Escape is off of the main road in Maggie Valley, so you are away from the traffic noise.
We supply water in the fridge, a variety of coffees and teas, creamers.
