About this cabin rental

This smoke-free and pet-free log cabin at 4000 feet elevation provides privacy and beautiful views from every room, but is also minutes to entertainment, restaurants, and shopping. 3 bedrooms plus a loft offer a king-size bed , 2 queen size beds and a twin bunkbed. Amenities include hot tub in the master bath, unlimited free wireless internet access with unlimited streaming capability, full kitchen with microwave and coffeemaker and dishwasher, washer and dryer, 2 outdoor decks( one screened in with picnic area , one open with gas firepit), and 2 stone indoor gas fireplaces with remote controls. This cabin sits on 5 acres. Enjoy a leisurely time listening to the waterfall in the distance as you sit around the firepit and watch a magnificent mountain sunset.

It is a steep, winding 1.5 mile paved road from the main road in Maggie Valley (Soco Road, or Highway 19) to Woodpecker Rd. Woodpecker is a short (about 150 yards or so) gravel road that leads to our cabin, and one other home. The cabin’s driveway is about 100 yards down Woodpecker Rd. (which we’ll say is semi-steep), with a 180 degree switchback from Woodpecker that cannot be made with a single turn. For safety concerns and to prevent damage to the gravel road and driveway, we would ask that you do not bring trailers of any kind. There is just not enough room to safely maneuver a trailer on our property. The driveway is also very narrow for a short section just after the switchback (and boarders the mountain’s edge). Therefore, it’s recommended that one drives past the driveway entrance and then backs up the driveway to the cabin (as opposed to attempting a multi-point turn in), For exiting, it’s also recommended to drive down the driveway onto Woodpecker, then back all the way up Woodpecker to Upper Summit Rd. (the paved road). For sedan-size cars, a 3-point turn can also be done to exit the driveway onto Woodpecker Road. If steep winding roads, backing up, or navigating a narrow section of driveway that borders the mountain’s edge would bother you, then this cabin would not be for you! Also, be advised that Upper Summit Rd becomes impassible with ice and/or snow, so attempting to access the cabin during these conditions is not possible even with 4 wheel drive. Refunds will be given up to midnight the day before stay in case of inclement weather that creates dangerous conditions on the mountain.

Sorry, non-smoking renters/guests only and no pets allowed. There is no inside or outside smoking permitted.

This rustic cabin is decorated with the local farm culture history of the NC mountain area in mind. No Southwestern decor style here! If you love the rustic farmhouse look, you will love the farm theme of this cabin. See the unique old farm equipment displayed and rustic quilts that take you back to another era, but also enjoy all the modern conveniences in this newly constructed cabin.

Two and 1/2 levels (ground level, downstairs, and loft), connected via a spiral staircase include three bedrooms, two and 1/2 baths. King bed in master suite on ground level - Queen bed in loft - Queen bed in downstairs bedroom #1 - Bunk beds in downstairs bedroom #2. Sleeps 8 in total.
The loft has a privacy screen changing area and an armoire for your clothing storage.
Two person whirlpool tub, and large walk-in shower in master bath.
Two ventless gas fireplaces (main level and downstairs dens)
Multi-function game tables located both downstairs (Foosball, air hockey, miniature pool & table tennis) and in loft (bumper pool, poker/card table, or solid surface board game table).

Plenty of old-fashioned table games to play as a family, but you also will have 4 TVs with streaming Netflix and other streaming channels available, as well as unlimited internet access if you want to stay connected to the outside world. There is even a telescope in the loft (with instructions) if you want to gaze at the moon up close through the huge picture windows in the loft.

The cabin is located minutes from the Maggie Valley Festival Grounds, the Wheels Through Time museum, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Other nearby attractions include Cataloochee Valley, and historic downtown Waynesville. In winter, the Cataloochee Ski Area and Tube World offer skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing to the winter sports enthusiast. The Cherokee Casino is located about 20 minutes away.

Neaby shopping includes several chain grocery stores, local gift shops, and ice cream shops, with restaurants featuring fine and casual dining options.

Great area and friendly people. House was just as listed and a central location to visit the Smoky Mtn National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway.

This was the perfect mountain getaway rental for our family of 7! Everyone had their own comfortable rooms, and there was plenty of gathering space for us to hang out. The views were absolutely insane, and had us taking picture after picture, every time the sky would change (which was often!) The location was convenient to the cute little Maggie Valley shops and restaurants, and was about 30min -hr away from our hikes in the park. Driving up the mountain to the house was something we got used to fairly quickly, but you do have to go slow and put your car in low gear. Thank you for the very specific directions! They helped us navigate perfectly. Overall, this was a fantastic stay in a clean, beautiful, and family-friendly home.

My family and I absolutely loved the cabin and the location. It was spacious and clean and the views were gorgeous. It was very peaceful and secluded and perfect for unwinding after long days of hiking. Betsy was wonderful at communicating when I had a couple of questions. I would go back again, as well as recommend this property to others!

Certainly! Here's a rewritten version: We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was impeccably cleaned and maintained, creating a wonderfully cozy atmosphere that made us stay longer than we originally intended. Despite the challenging driveway, following the host's directions ensured we had no issues. Waynesville, just a few minutes away, charmed us with its warm and welcoming people. We would definitely return—now we understand why it's so highly rated!

We have been to the Smoky Mountains many times, and this property has now become our favorite place to stay. My husband and I stayed here with our 15 year old twins. The owner provided excellent communication. Be sure to read the information she provides to you when you book the property. This will make your stay so much easier. Most of your questions will be answered in that information. The drive up is very doable, and this opinion comes from a Texan family. Just pay attention to what you are doing. The view is stunning, and I feel like that is an understatement. The property is secluded and quiet, which is what we prefer. We enjoy hiking and spending time as a family. This place is perfect for that. You can make a day trip to the more crowded places if you wish. The house was clean and things were labeled. The kitchen had everything we needed. There is plenty of room to spread out or to be together. The kids liked the games, bumper pool, and foosball table. We liked the screened-in porch and the outdoor areas. We would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

This was our second visit to this cabin. It was beautiful both times, with amazing views out the windows. Both times it was just a quiet, romantic getaway but next time we will bring our 4 kids. About 30-45 minutes from lots of hikes and the Blue Ridge Parkway and to The Biltmore. We did them all!

The view at this property was even better than expected. We loved sitting outside watching sunsets or a storm roll in over the mountains. The beds were comfortable. The listing was accurate in sharing the steepnrss of the road and getting in the driveway. After the second trip up, we figured out how to navigate it. Drawbacks to the property that result in the 4 versus 5 rating were the kitchen was not stocked well for cooking for a larger group of 7 adults and the trash has to be taken to town by the renter for drop-off because there is no trash pick-up at the house. The trach drop off requirement is not noted in the listing and it is a 16 mile round trip to drop off. The trash drop-off is by the Publix grocery store so was part of our grocery run. We would stay at the property again but will bring our own crock pot. 😉

Property is nestled on the side of the mountain with an amazing view. Very close to our ski resort. Property is clean and had everything we needed. We would stay here again. Great communication from property manager.
