About this cabin rental

Please visit us at 'A World Apart Rentals'. If you see our property listed on ANY other website (i.e. ends in 'list') be aware of fraud & scams!

“A World Apart” is not your typical bare provisioned rental property locked away in a subdivision overlooking more houses than views. Its location was selected and the home painstakingly built by our family to take advantage of the best of Maggie Valley and Western North Carolina. The care and attention to detail is visible throughout.

NOTE: Our home is located at 4000' elevation in the mountains and is NOT easily accessible by motorcycle. The last 1/4 mile to the cabin is a single lane, gravel/dirt road that does a couple of switchbacks. Four wheel drive is HIGHLY recommended especially in the wintertime, but typically a two wheel drive/front wheel drive vehicle is sufficient. Even though our property has plenty of parking and room for cars, trucks and trailers, arriving by motorcycle will be up to the comfort level of the driver and may not be suitable for every rider.

Nestled on 6 secluded acres of Soco Mountain, our home offers a Romantic Oasis for Couples or the perfect Retreat for Families. Relax on the Wrap-Around Porch and unwind while enjoying the scenery and listening to the persistent harmony of the Creek winding through the valley below. If you’re still and quiet, some of the neighborhood hummingbirds might visit and perhaps even an owl or two will announce the arrival of dusk.

The downstairs of our home features a magnificent Stone Fireplace towering over the living room, Cable HDTV with DVD, broad-plank hardwood floors, sofa & loveseat, slate bathroom with Antique Claw-Foot Tub and walk-in shower. The Queen Bedroom features a large armoire, Cable TV/DVD/VCR, and its own door leading to the hot tub. A fully-equipped and well-stocked kitchen with slate countertops and peninsula bar in addition to the dining table for six offers plenty of seating and amenities for your family gathering. Screen doors and windows allow for Mother Nature's ventilation and the sounds of the wilderness without being visited by it.

Upstairs the loft features a pool table and French Doors that open onto a Covered Porch complete with a hammock. The Tin-Roofed Porch plays an unforgettably soothing melody on drizzly afternoons.

In the Master Suite, unwind in the slate-surround Jacuzzi Tub while gazing out at the mountainside Cable HDTV with DVD invites you to just lounge in the pillow-top King Bed watching a movie. The French Doors from the Master open onto a Large Private Balcony that is the perfect place to enjoy the morning’s first cup of coffee.

For those who still feel the need to keep in touch with the outside world, free wireless internet is provided. Please note that this service is wireless only so you'll have to have a wireless enabled computer to use the free service.

Wrap-around porches complete with rockers, swings, Adirondack chairs, charcoal grill and (our family’s favorite) a secluded hot tub for 6 are really why you vacation in the mountains.

On adventuresome days, you’re a short walk to cascading waterfalls and only a few minutes drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Ghost Town in the Sky, the Cataloochee Ski Resort, Cherokee and Harrah’s Casino. A late afternoon trek to see the Elk in Cataloochee Valley is a must do and in little more than 30 minutes you can be enjoying the Biltmore Estate in Asheville or the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad in Bryson City.

We welcome you to be our guests and find out what makes our home 'A World Apart!' However, don't just take our word for it. Our previous guests comments are the best editorial of what you can expect.

Enjoyed a quiet weekend getaway at this cabin. Morning coffee on the large porch was relaxing. We had no issues with anything and communication with the host was excellent. Driveway was steep as described, but we managed fine with our Camry and we ventured out every day. Would stay here again.

Planned a quiet week away in the mountains and researched several properties. This appeared to be perfect. When we arrived, we immediately noticed a strong Smokey smell. The next morning, we realized the cabin was not very clean. There were bugs and the wood burning fireplace smelled up the cabin. Only the kitchen window could be opened so it was difficult to air out. The hot tub area was dirty and the cover was covered in bird poop. I get rustic but this was disgusting! Only half the jets worked and I tried to open them but that didn’t work. The keypad was half broken and I couldn’t see the controls. Worst of all, when I went to do laundry, the washing machine was not working. I tried repeatedly to call the host but got no answer nor was there a way to leave a message. I finally tried messaging them through VRBO and she blamed a “technology upgrade”. She apologized about not letting us know about the washer not working but would have it fixed ASAP. The problem was, we only had two days left of our vacation! Owner claimed she didn’t realize we weren’t staying longer! I asked her why she rented the property to us indicating it had a working washer when she knew it did not. I also asked her why she hadn’t gotten the pump replaced for the washer before we arrived since she obviously knew about it. I got no response. Very disappointed in this owner and will not stay with them again! Steer clear !

I read the owner's comments about the road/drive conditions and chose to drive my 4WD, for which I was grateful. Once we were there, it was very peaceful and quiet. A World Apart has lots of nice features that provide a relaxing getaway. (Hot tub, hammock, pool table, lot of porch spaces) Plenty to do within a short drive if that is your preference. Had a minor issue, but owner was very responsive and we got it resolved in short order. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed in Maggie Valley for a week of fishing, hiking, and relaxing. The cabin was well situated and loved the remote feeling. Beds were comfortable and host was great at communicating. Highly recommend this as a get away spot. We were able to relax with our dog in the evenings at the fire pit after a day of exploring.

My wife started the Vacation week having to swipe the floor to clean up dog food. I used a cleaning wet wipe to sanitize and clean the floor in kitchen and living room so my son could play after seeing the dog food and stuff, figured housekeeping didn't do that either. We cleaned up the dead Bugs and thumb tacks that was on the floor in master bedroom. View shown on cabin site was not true everything has grown up around it. Decks need to be cleaned; the pool table felt has tear in it; washing machine didn't work, Ice trays are busted only one that worked with no holes in it; there is butter knives in the window jams at the kitchen sink not sure why. Light above kitchen sink didn't work; Light beside bed in guest and master bedroom didn't work missing bulbs; the screen doors don't fit the door frame so if you open the doors bugs come into the cabin. Jet2 pumps on the hot tub don't work and buttons are messed up. The place has three cameras at the front and one on side by driveway, so if you use the porch deck on the front at door or at the deck in master room you are on camera (Couples beware) the one on the building is facing the front door (can see in window if opened) The water pressure for showers and tubs is not good, took wife 15 to 20 min just to wash hair. Only the screen door at hot tub has a little lock on it. FYI with the bad water pressure hot tub may not be getting drained as stated would take forever to refill. Need FWD or AWD and ground clearance.
