We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this mountain home in Maggie Valley! The home is clean and wonderfully appointed - everything that you need as a family to enjoy a home away from home. The beds are very comfortable and all of the different areas to hang and enjoy time together made for an incredible stay. The location is incredible - perched high atop a mountain side yet convenient to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Great Smoky Mountains NP. We ventured into Asheville for a day, which was also an easy drive. We would definitely stay here again!

We had the most wonderful time with our family of children age 1 through 13. The description of the house was very accurate. The home was so beautiful and the view was to die for. The home was easy to get to and close to town but the views were EPIC. Home was super clean and we LOVED our stay so much. We will definitely be back as soon as we can!

The house was clean and ready to go. The garage had a wierd smell though, possibly from a one of the critter traps? That disappated after opening the garage door. Although theres a small TV in the kitchen, there was not the typical larger TV upstairs in family room. That seemd odd as we wnated to watch the Masters while eating dinner - the kitchen TV was too small. Would help to label outdoor light switches. Took us a while to figure out the outdoor lights. The shuffleboard table needs more wax and only two discs could be found. Couldnt play whichbwas a bummer since itbis heavily advertised but not really in working condition. The views are spectacular and the location is perfect.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 April 2026
Thank you for the feedback! The owners preferred to have the entertainment downstairs in the den area so the guests upstairs can relax (There is also a smart TV in the bedroom). The surface does need to be waxed every so often, but those tables need special sand on them to allow the discs to glide. There is a small bucket of sand there to be sprinkled on the surface. We did order more discs for the table! It was a pleasure to have you :) Thank you so much for staying with Carolina Mountain Vacation Homes and thank you for the beautiful pictures!
