We spent Christmas here and it was amazing. So much to do at the Cabin. Pool table, hot tub, incredible views, fire pit, and the lake to go fishing. Our host was accommodating by letting us book an additional night. The beds were comfortable and they have WiFi which helped us stay connected with family and friends. We spent Christmas Eve snow skiing in Maggie Valley and took a Christmas Day hike on the Appalachian trail at Fontana Dam. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away.
