Perfect cabin

We've been coming to Maggie Valley for several years and usually stay in local motels. We opted to stay in a cabin this time and Camelle offered the perfect choice. So clean and the bed was extremely comfortable Loved the location! Beautiful views and even got to see elk grazing in the pasture across the street. We will definitely use Camelle for our next trip!
