The ducks always make it into a review! LOL
We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay.
This cabin was perfect for our week in Maggie Valley! The cabin was very clean and had all of the amenities that we were looking for. Right on Jonathans Creek which was very nice!
We loved the location. Very friendly area. Met others as walking on the sidewalk. Met the neighbor and her dog. The bed I slept in was very comfy. The kitchen was great. The outside was wonderful. The only thing the sofa and loveseat was not comfortable but we made do
We had the Most relaxing stay on our trip to Maggie Valley this year! It was absolutely wonderful and we look forward to coming back again. The home is so comfortable and to be able to sit out by the rushing waters of Jonathan Creek is heavenly and was just what we needed!
Shower in master very small. Internet was very poor. Outside of that was perfect for our needs. Three friends riding motorcycle in the mountains. Home made a perfect home base. Loved sitting on back porch grilling dinner.
Had a wonderful time, good location, very clean, and had everything you needed!
