This cottage, though some parts are a little dated, was very clean and has an amazing view. My husband and I spent a good portion of our stay just staring out the big windows at the beautiful mountains. We hit an unusual cold spell in November, so there was snow on the ground! Otherwise, we would have enjoyed the lovely porch. The hosts were very easy with whom to work. The approach to the cottage, though single lane, was more easy to navigate than some we have encountered before.

Read outside in the rocking chairs and enjoyed the beautiful views. Would certainly stay here again. So convenient to everything we wanted to do. The hosts were awesome!

These VIEWS!!!
This place is wonderful - quiet, with beautiful views, and close to the mountains. We wished we had stayed longer! The porch is the best part. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was perfectly useful, and check-in instructions were very detailed. We had 6 in our group including children and everyone wanted to stay longer. Beautiful place. The hot water heater may be about to go as we had a hard time getting consistent hot water in the evening (even the first one to shower of our group did not have consistent hot water). Otherwise, this was blissful.

Great"Cottage" House!
Keaton Cottage name is deceiving... it's a house. 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms Great for large family get-togethers.
Just wished that the town would fix the drive up to cottage! More potholes than asphalt!
All in all, we had a great time. Husband hiked in am. Afternoons were spent driving the Blue Ridge Pkwy. Stunning views and leaves were changing.
Heard elk several mornings but never saw them.

Our stay was wonderful. The cottage was very roomy and comfortable. The 3 of us were very happy. It had a homey feel. When i tried to turn the tv on in the living room there was a problem i contacted Loriel and she tried to help me. It turned out the batteries in the remote needed to be replaced. I would have been happy to get new batteries and replace them but she said she would take care of it. That is how you should treat your guests and i was very appreciative. Top notch experience!!!

Cozy house.
We recently spent four nights here. The house is on the older side. It is cozy and adequately equipped in the kitchen. The outside deck is large and a good place to play cornhole and relax in a rocking chair to look at the view of the mountain. We were delighted to see elk in the neighborhood along with the friendly cows that came near to the house. Location wise for Maggie Valley is good. The ride up on the road is filled with potholes so do beware of that. Also, when you come off the main road looking for the street it is tricky and is very very small. Watch for the sign that says flea market. While you are in the area and if you like to fine dining try to go to either “the swag or Cataloochi ranch “ for an exquisite meal, reservations are a must.
The only cons we have about this property is that the pictures are better than the actual house, it’s not that bright .And I did mention to the owner that the mattress in the master bedroom was quite lumpy and had a swell on the side and a hump in the middle. They said they replaced this mattress last year…… well it was not my imagination, but regardless it was not comfortable. So, in my opinion, I could not give this property a five star review however 4.5 would be more appropriate.

We booked this property the beginning of February kind of last minute and couldn't believe how nice it was and for such a great price. The hosts were reaching out days before our stay to make sure we were good and to give us the information we needed. No issues getting in the house and or checking out. Beds were comfortable, rooms and bathrooms were great and had everything we needed. We will for sure be staying at this house again and hopefully others from these wonderful host. I highly recommend.

Most uncomfortable cottage ever
Pictures on internet made this cottage beautiful. Not so. Neighborhood and ease of getting there were good. View was good. That's as far as it goes. Furniture was extremely uncomfortable in living room and lighting was poor. 2 of lamps were broken, shades were dark, and wattage was low. Beds were lumpy. Bathroom vanities were not standard height. Had to bend over considerably. Bathtub in master bath a slippery nightmare, not to count terribly hard to turn on. No handholds in shower and it was slippery fiberglass. This cottage had charm but renovations were cheap and poorly done eliminating the charm that should have been enhanced. Not worth the price.

Senior vacation!
Dealing with the owner was great, very efficient. A few minor unpleasants. The road to this property was full of pot holes and switchbacks. This was hard for 2 70 years old and 80 age people. The beds could stand upgrading with new mattresses. The house outside could stand a good pressure washing and windows cleaned. We still enjoyed our stay and would probably do it again. Stairs was hard for us. Thanks, Arlene
