We loved our stay! We were on our annual Mother/Daughter Fall trip, and couldn't have asked for a more perfect location. The townhouse is beautifully decorated, and so cozy. The creek view from the porch is amazing. I absolutely loved the reading nook upstairs, also over looking the creek, but climate controlled for comfort. The beds were the most comfortable of anywhere we have EVER stayed. Communication is awesome, and check in/out a breeze. Conveniently located to all the prime spots to enjoy the mountains. Perfect for any travelers; families, solo, couples. Beautiful retreat!

We loved it!
We loved this cute spot! It was just my husband and I this trip but we will surely be returning with our college daughters who will love having their own rooms. The creek out back was so lovely and soothing and we definitely dipped our toes in the freezing water. We enjoyed Maggie Valley and the surrounding towns so very much, especially the delicious restaurants like Frankie's and Haywood 209 cafe. We drove into the Pisgah National Forest and went to the Cradle of Forestry, a really cool spot to spend a few hours learning about forestry in America. We also drove into the Smoky Mountains National Park to the Cataloochee Valley and saw the most majestic elk all over the valley. The area has tons to do and we highly recommend this cute house as a base for your travels.

Wonderful Stay
This property is awesome. We loved the back porch where we could listen to the creek and watch the water flowing. The home is beautiful and relaxing inside and outside. We watched TV at night while we enjoyed the recliners which included heat and massage choices. We definitely will be back!
