It was perfect for what we wanted to experience. Beautiful historic establishment, breath taking views, every thing you could imagine when wanting a true Maggie Valley experience. Host was great. Cabin was clean, cozy and inviting. Thank you!
We loved the location and the beautiful cabin! It was the perfect space for our family of 5. Very cozy and comfortable. We loved the proximity to Cataloochee. We were also so blessed to see several elk in the morning right out our front door.
Everything was wonderful !We loved the sound of the creek by the warm fire at night and In the morning with my coffee wrapped in my one blanket would come again
We had a nice relaxing stay. Loved the old cabin and the unique feel of the property and was the perfect place to set outside on the porch with a cup of coffee.
Absolutely beautiful cabin with modern amenities and close to area attractions. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our time at this property immensely. I highly recommend!
The soothing sound of the creek, the green lawn, the large kitchen, the nice master bedroom and bath, the antique log walls, the forest foliage...all add up to a relaxing mountain getaway.
We had a great time - loved the cozy cabin, unfortunately hot tub was out of order and was a little scared of the poison ivy near the arched entrance :) we would definitely stay again though the place was a hidden jewel!
Everything about this cabin was great! It was clean, easy to get to, close to town, relaxing! We would leave the front door open and just sit and listen to the stream. Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing getaway!
Really great. The place felt bigger than it appeared in the photos, it has nice high ceilings and a great layout that really maximizes the space.
The place had a nice separate bedroom for our daughter and lots of nice decor details.
We had a wonderful stay and the location made it real easy to get to the Ski Mountain.
Absolutely loved the historical setting with modern amenities of the cabin/home.
So cozy! Loved sitting on the front porch for morning coffee, breakfast as a family in the kitchen/table, dinners cooked on the grill and evening fires in the fire pit outdoors.
Thank you so much for the memories with our family!!
We loved our stay. The cabin was even better than we expected. It was very rustic, private, and the hot tub was great on the cool nights. We enjoyed coffee in the mornings on the front porch. The bed was very comfortable, & except for a few spider webs here & there, it was very clean & orderly. We definitely recommend this place & look forward to returning.
What a beautiful cabin! A1850 cabin with all the comfort of today! Love the fireplace in the bedroom and the coziness of the home. The rushing sound of the creek below and the closeness to everything!!
We had the most amazing stay in this very unique cabin! We loved the combination of an old cabin and modern conveniences! The cabin is well stocked with everything you might need or want. The beds were all very comfortable and my kids loved the loft upstairs. The front porch is so peaceful and the whole cabin has a very private feel to it. It felt like we were staying in someone’s private home instead of a rental property. Definitely a 10 out of 10 for our family!!
This unique cabin is packed with personality. Rustic but up to date. It's situated in the woods with a beautiful back yard that is private. We built a little fire in the fire pit and made s'mores. We rode horses at Cataloochee Ranch at the top of the mountain and went on fabulous hikes. Ate a huge country style dinner at Smokey Shadows, just up from the cabin. We made lots of wonderful family memories here. Highly recommend!! We'll be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
While the cabin is quite cozy it was not as private as the pictures would lead you to believe. The creek was also not as close to the cabin as it seems either. We did enjoy hearing it while enjoying the porch though. The cabin could use a deep clean and some pruning of the bushes/shrubbery/and arbor entrance. A sidewalk from the steps to the porch would also be nice. It was raining just prior to our arrival and rock hopping carrying in bags isn’t easy. Communication with Patrick was easy and he was responsive to messages.
Loved the property, just wish we could’ve spent more time at the cabin enjoying the sounds of the creek from the back porch…..it was like a steady rain even from inside the cabin.Cabin was tastefully decorated, clean, and comfy, with a bit of whimsy it the kitchen - so cute!All the amenities we needed. It does also have a Keureg for your favorite pods.Didn’t get to see elk but we did get a daily visit by the rabbit. :-)Thanks, Patrick, for the great communication. You managed to answer my questions before I had a chance to ask.It’ll be our first choice for our next trip back.
Really great experience but listing was a little misleading. Hot tub had been removed and you couldn’t see the creek only hear it. Overall we loved it though. Would definitely recommend it
