Reviewer Comments:
Enjoyed how roomy the house is and a nice game room downstairs, but a few reasons we will not return - - Trees are overgrown next to house which leaves just two small areas to look out over Maggie Valley , which is half the fun of sitting out on the porch- The AC not strong enough to cool the top ( 3rd floor) and game room on bottom freezing, didn't want to tinker with vents, but slept with fans on 3rd to comfortable-kitchen chairs and family room furniture need updating, very worn

We loved this house. It was very clean and spacious. The only thing I didn't like was the road and how you had to drive past the driveway and turn around in the area of the road at the top. Then enter the driveway coming back down. There was no way our expedition could make the turn into the driveway coming for the direction driving in or vise versa when we were leaving we had to do the same thing. The drive way is steep also. Getting in and out had everyone a nervous wreck. The view is stunning.

It was great. We have been coming to Maggie Valley, Smoky Mountain Retreat, for 12 years. It was a great visit and lots of fall temperatures this year.

Reviewer Comments:
This cabin has the wow factor due to the location, cleanliness and high end construction and decor. The reason I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 is because of the treacherous driveway and the miserly policy regarding a "starter kit" for items such as garbage bags, soap, toilet paper etc. The driveway is extremely difficult to maneuver one vehicle and more than one is a major problem. Be forewarned. Ask about it!

We have stayed at Alta Vista several times when visiting Maggie Valley. The cabin is perfect for our family, it is very clean and in excellent condition. The location is very convenient to the entrance and so close to many activities in Maggie Valley and Waynesville. Smoky Mountain Retreat is a beautiful neighborhood and we enjoyed our stay!

We started in another cabin that had foreseeable issues. The property management moved us very quickly and handled it professionally. Lien’s Lodge was fortunately available Monday - Friday. It was a perfect, beautiful cabin with an amazing view. We are so thankful and will stay there again.

Didn't know what to expect as very few reviews show on this property's listing, but Alta Vista Maggie Valley truly exceeded our expectations. Photos don't do it justice. Gorgeous, spacious log cabin with incredible mtn views from 2 sides having walls of windows, as well as views from master bed, loft, decks & kitchen. Beds were soft for our taste, but loved the log master bed & soft sheets. Gorgeous wood floors, carpeted bdrms, great master bath w lovely tub. Jack-n-Jill bath upstairs perfect btwn 2nd & 3rd bdrms. Ping pong table in garage was a hit, couldn't really use air hockey. No neighbors in sight, extremely quiet & lovely. It's a little like being in a treehouse having all the lovely trees on the side of home. Driveway is a little dicey the 1st time; it's a little steep but is paved, unlike most cabins we've stayed. Outdoor furniture is extremely nice & comfortable. Cabin is situated about halfway up mountain so you don't get sunrise or sunset views, but have lovely reflections over the valley below. 10 min to Ingles grocery, 15 min to 1 of the prettiest stretches of Blue Ridge Pkwy. We would rent again. Suggest replacing thin towels, barstools, & don't be so stingy w starter pack so it truly is luxury cabin.

Reviewer Comments:
Lovely mountain home. Adequate and comfortable for our family of 4 adults, 2 children for a 6 night stay. Views are wonderful. There were a few issues, however...1. We're not told about the DIFFICULT driveway in advance. It was written on the check-in envelope. Had to drive down the road to find a turn around each time. Angle of driveway makes it unaccessable directly.2. While the house was relatively clean, the carpets had major dog the point of trying to vacuum ourselves after locating the vacuum. No luck, long dog hairs imbedded in carpets. They need to be cleaned. Lower level smelled like dog.3. Fireplace--couldn't quite figure out how a gas fireplace has NO venting. Instructions indicated that upstairs room doors should be closed when using. Tried a fire one cool morning, but had the strong smell of gas and turned it off. Perhaps that is why a carbon monoxide indicator is plugged into socket next to fireplace.4. More outdoor furniture would be good. 4 rocking chairs and a small picnic table with benches is not enough for taking in the surrounding beauty of nature for 6 people with so many levels of decking.5. The realty office could be better informed. They told us that we were eligible to use Maggie Valley Country Club. After going there, the club told us that we needed paperwork from the Realty office that indicated we were staying there before we could use their club......soooo that meant another trip back to the office! Really, the office did NOT know this?Beware, use of the other club Laurel Ridge, requires $100 usage fee- none refundable. All that being said, the porch is lovely, kitchen was well supplied. We used the outdoor grill. There is a back door with easy access to the house and for unloading the car for those who gave difficulty with so many steps.Had we known some of the above issues, we probably would not have chosen this cabin.
