This place is the best! It should be nominated for the best rental cabin in Maggie Valley! We had such a relaxing, rejuvinating stay. This cabin is so nice that it was hard to leave. The waterfall and creeks were amazing.

Cabin is beautiful!
This cabin is so nice. It is roomy and has everything you will need. It’s close to Maggie Valley and close to the ski area. It was very clean with comfortable beds and a large kitchen. This was our second stay and we will definitely return.

We had a great family vacation in the mountains. The temperature was wonderful compared to summer weather at home. The cabin is fantastic for families, and the covered porch was a favorite hangout spot for everyone.

Our family stayed here for our spring break. The place is absolutely perfect. You cannot beat the outside with all the places to relax and listen to the creek and waterfall. The inside was clean, and so much more than we expected. Thank you for letting us stay and I would recommend this place to anyone. It’s private and quiet and I wish we could have stayed longer!
We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family to vacation! The kitchen was stocked with everything that you could ever ask for. The cabin was decorated so cute and made you feel like you were at home. The stream was one of our favorite parts. Our kids played out there for hours. We will definitely be going back next year!

The house and surroundings were beautiful! Loved hearing the waterfall while on the porch. Loved the creek. Just right for the little one to play in. Wonderful folks to deal with. They answered all our questions and were extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend!
This was a perfect home for eight of us, three generations. The creek and waterfalls mesmerized all of us. There is much to see in nearby towns, but you really are entertained enough by the creek if you just want to sit back and relax. The home was immaculately clean and very spacious.

My overall impression of the property is it was a home away from home for 5 days.
Whenever I come back to Maggie Valley, I will stay definitely stay here. Minutes away from the main road, skiing, restaurants and grocery. Asheville is a short drive to enjoy the Biltmore! A personal bucket list. It is nestled in the mountain, private and super cozy. The people are so nice. They are really doing a great job!!! Thank you so very much! Best vacation in a very long time :)

We had the best time at Kevin's Mountain Creek Cabin. Plenty of room for our group of 7. All appliances, heating, AC, hot tub, etc. were all in perfect working order and we never felt like we were missing anything from home. My kids loved the foosball table as well as the creeks and fire pits. We really couldn't ask for a better location and better cabin for our vacation. Kevin and his wife are great property owners, and always replied immediately to any information request. If we are up in the area again, we will definitely see if this cabin is available.

Thank you for the review. We love to hear that our guests feel at home, especially knowing that children are having fun. Please consider staying with us for your next trip to the Smoky Mountains.
We enjoyed staying here for a friends trip of adventures. The grounds are beautiful and some of our group enjoyed listening to the sound of the creek and waterfall while sleeping. The cabin was very spacious and easily accommodated our six-person crew. We all thought the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well supplied. The porch as well as the hot tub was a lovely place to relax. The only criticism is having nowhere to take the trash when checking out on a Sunday and the internet speed was not good. We were able to watch tv without any issues. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.
Fantastic property in Maggie Valley. The beds were so very comfortable. Plenty of sheets and towels. Great views. Plenty of toiletries and dish soap and trash bags. Theres a blow dryer in the bathroom. Plenty of nightlights and great evening lighting to light your way. Plenty of hangers for clothes. TVs work off of Roku. Plenty of hot water and ac and heat work great. Felt safe. Felt at home. Recommend kleenex for bedrooms a grab bars for showers. Other than that very happy. Go to Maggie Valley Restaurant for fried chicken. Joeys for pancakes. Bogart for steak. Cataloochee Ranch on Wed for best BBQ ever. Bearwater Brewery for wlk/bison burger and pretzels w cheese. Yum. Best service and communication with management/owners.

Thank you Melanie for the wonderful review. We will begin stocking boxes of tissues and we will ask housekeeping to make sure they are well stocked. Ironically, we have already purchased grab bars for the bathtubs and will install them when we go up in October. We hope you will return to Maggie Valley and consider Mountain Creek Cabin for your stay.
This is a big house with all the ammenities that you need. Location is great just, 1.6 miles from Catalochee Sky slopes. The owners are great people and answered in minutes every question/info needed.
The house is clean comfortable and has two levels that make it seem like two properties in one.
There is one non positive aspect, it is the quality of the internet, but It is pointed out in the description of the property and it is the result of being Satelite internet.
Whould I go back, 100% YES.

This house was wonderful, I just wish we had been able to stay longer. The beds were comfortable and there was tons of space. The hot tub felt amazing, especially with the sounds of the stream in the background.
We would for sure stay here again. The property was absolutly beautiful and the house was stocked with lots of games. My kids loved the giant connect 4 and checkers games.
My only complaint, which was very minor, was each bathroom only had one bath towel. There was a note to the house cleaner to leave two, so I do not fault the home owner for this. Luckily there were several more towels in a container next to the hot tub. We'd for sure stay here again!

The home is quite beautiful in a lovely, creek-side area
My parents, fiancé, 4 nieces/nephews and I thoroughly felt at "home away from home". My father called it beautiful (man of little words). The wraparound porch sits right next to the trees and you can see/hear the creek below, so nice to wake up to that. The hot tub, fire pit, loads of board games, dart board, bean bag toss, all these nice extras really sweetened our vacation, and some of us didn't want to change out of our pjs to venture out for the day. Kevin was extremely responsive, attentive and helpful with any questions we had (this is our first vrbo exp). Well-stocked kitchen (we cooked/grilled all weekend, even had a potato masher), with plenty of space for sleeping and lounging. There's a short, quick decline once you're on the cabin road but wasn't a big deal, even in our small Hyundai. So quite a wonderful experience, with family talk of heading back there/Maggie Valley next year -- and they rarely vacation (!)

Thank you Sejan for your wonderful review. We are glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. We hope that you will return to Mountain Creek Cabin for your next vacation.
I’ve rented a lot of VRBO’s and this one was hands down one of the best! We went for Thanksgiving 6adults & 4kids. So much room kids were down stairs playing and adults upstairs. Kitchen was definitely fully-stocked with every gadget, pot, pan, griddle, etc especially to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of towels, and hot tub specific towels. It was even decorated for Fall/Thanksgiving. They had fantastic instructions/decor & was very clean. WiFi was great. And the fire pit was amazing that also included firewood. And the sound of the creek was icing on the cake. Only hiccup we had was car trouble and the owner was gracious to allow us to extend our stay. It is recommended 4-wheel drive during winter months incase of snow as the drive-way is steep/gravel/and dark at night. We will be back!!!

Kevin is retired from Kennedy Space Center and Ginny is a Registered Nurse. There is so much to do at Mountain Creek Cabin for people of all ages.
