Family get-together at Bear Necessities in Maggie Valley, NC
My family stayed at a beautiful cabin (Bear Necessities) in Maggie Valley, NC. The location was high up with an elevation of about 4500. The cabin was nicely decorated and had all the amenities we needed. Thank you for allowing us to rent this cabin for three nights.

Birthday Weekend in the Mountains
The cabin was very well appointed and had beautiful views with plenty of privacy. Our family really enjoyed our family time together in the comforts of the cabin. It had a lot really nice furniture, appliances, and comforts we have not experienced in other cabins we have stayed in. The only real negative was the trek up the mountain to get to the cabin. It is a very winding road with some hairpin turns to navigate at night and takes about 20 minutes from the main roads.

Great View!!!
Cabin was spacious and allowed space for adults and teens. Overall, the cabin was close to a bunch of trails and to Waynesville and Maggie Valley and allow for a good time even on days in which weather was not the greatest. The screened porch with gas fire pit was great on cooler evenings. The kitchen was amazing!!! The only drawback was the ping pong table that was advertised was broken and we couldn't utilize it. Overall, great place to stay.

Even better than we expected.
Everything about our stay was great. The location was so quiet and peaceful that it almost seemed like we were the only people on the mountain. I was concerned that it might be difficult to get to the cabin in my sports car but the roads were very good. The cabin was nice and the furnishings and appliances were very good quality. The management folks were very helpful. We would recommend this cabin to any of our friends and family and we look forward to another visit ourselves!

Bear Necessities
This property was great for our group of ten. The home was beautiful, clean and well-stocked. Linens and towels were of great quality. Beds were comfortable and the three levels worked well for us.We had a thirteen, a fourteen and a fifteen year old. They enjoyed the lower level where they did not have to be watched by the adults. The three levels were perfect for privacy to read a book or take a nap and the huge living room and kitchen was a perfect place to come together for meals, games, puzzles and enjoying each others company.

Wonderful experience
This was probably the best cabin I’ve ever stayed in (and I’ve stayed in quite a few)! The owners went all out with everything in the cabin! Very well equipped! The drive up was a little tricky but worth every curve and hill!

The cabin was all they said it was and more. The management group was very accommodating. Thank you for letting us use the parking lot for our trailers. Our four family group had more than enough room for us to spread out. The cabin was spotless and the kitchen was fantastic. We'll be back!
