Relaxing Getaway
My friends and I stayed here for the weekend and had a great time. The creek was really relaxing to sit by. There was plenty of space for 5 of us in the cabin and lots of great outdoor deck space to hang out and enjoy the mountain air. There was one mechanical issue (manufacturing issue, definitely not the owner's) and Brian jumped on the case quickly and helped resolve it even from elsewhere. I highly recommend a stay in this cabin. Try Pop's Place down the road. Fantastic breakfast.

Host Brian took the time to message and call me concerning AC issue prior to our stay. He went above and beyond to be sure to have a new unit put in before we arrived. The kitchen was stocked with all needed to have a stay which didn’t involve us having to run out and get small items.

Great Winter Getaway
Loved the cabin. Great location close to the ski resort but far enough away from the main busy roads. The driveway had been shoveled and was perfectly dry when we showed up even though there was a lot of snow on the ground.I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful weekend with the fam in Maggie Valley
We absolutely loved this house and our stay here! The host is very responsive and helpful. Lots of games for my nephew to play. Me and him had a blast playing in the creek behind the house. We had dinner at the beautiful table downstairs one night while listening to the creek and it was amazing. Also did s’mores in the fire pit our last night. House is so cozy and welcoming and with all the activities to do, you won’t get bored!
