July 4th Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Longhorn Lodge. The house is located in a neighborhood surrounded by mountains conveniently located to the main road. We enjoyed the mountain views, elk visits, and the quiet. The deck is very nice with a ground level hot tub. House is cozy and comfortable.

We took our small kids ages 6-8 and it was amazing! We ended up meeting other families where the kids all played together which made it even more special. The house was clean, perfect size, and located in a central location. We throughly enjoyed our time and will be back!

Truly Home Away from Home!

Lovely home, fully stocked and so clean! Rockers on front porch perfect for views of the mountains and the charming community, as well as enjoying the cool breezes. The yard was a wildlife paradise: elk, rabbits, birds…We hope to return in a few months and would definitely book this home!

Beautiful Place, Wonderful Time!

This place was amazing! It felt like we were home. The view from the front porch is beautiful, especially early in the mornings and near sunset. The kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. But by far the best part was sitting by the fire pit and watching elk walk by and graze in the lot beside us. It was quiet and peaceful and we had a grest time and will definitely be back!

Crocketts Meadow - Longhorn Cabin

This cabin lived up to its reputation and exceeded our expectations. Our grandkids loved the experience of seeing several elk in the yard, walking down the street and in the nearby meadow. The cabin was immaculate, great views, close to town yet quiet secluded. It was just PERFECT!! With all the amenities you would ever need. We hope to return again in the future.

Maggie Valley get away

The cabin was great and perfect location! It had just snowed so perfect for the little ones who were seeing it for the first time. The weather had knocked out the wifi and the owner was extremely courteous in trying to reconnect but it never came back on. It was understandable considering the circumstances and did not make a huge difference in our stay.

Great cabin, quiet location

This is our fourth year staying in a cabin at Crockett's Meadow. We try a different cabin every year to check the cabin's design. This year the cabin was close to perfect. It is disappointing to see all of the cabins being built in Crockett's Meadow and the newly named Mari's Meadow. We don't see as many Elk as we used to 3 or 4 years ago. We noticed the Elk are moving to the other side of Panoramic Loop where there is more grazing room. We will more than likely have to find a different location once all of the lots are sold and new cabins are built there.

Fun and Safe

We traveled to purchase Christmas Trees. This is a very nice cabin conveniently located. Loved the Hot Tub and fireplace. Owners very helpful and respond immediately. The four stars are due to only 1/2 roll of toilet paper downstairs (you’re furnished starter supplies) and literally drops of Laundry Detergent (you’re asked to start a load of linens upon departure). Also, a few blinds don’t work (obstructing view) and need replacing. The beds are reasonably comfortable, but only had a sheet and thin quilt on them. There was a thin blanket in the downstairs closet floor, but, not sure how clean it was. Fortunately, I took my Heated Blanket Throws! With that being said, I would definitely stay there again.

Just Perfect

I rented this cabin for my 92 year old aunt and her friend. She wanted to see the beautiful mountains one more time. She’s in frail health yet she made the trip from Tallahassee, FL very well. They both told me how perfect, beautiful, clean and homey this cabin is. How convenient the location is. She loved the fresh flowers. She said the beds were very comfortable. It was everything she hoped it would be and more. Thank you for your part in making my aunt’s trip to the mountains one she will never forget. As she put it, “ I was blessed from the time I left…. until the time I returned.”

This was our second time at the Longhorn Lodge cabin in Crocketts Meadow. Our first time in June 2021 was great…and this time was even BETTER!! There is no better cabin for having bull elk within yards of your front porch several times a day this time! All the amenities of this cabin were wonderful to include the hot tub, outdoor kitchen/grill and fire pit area and especially the rockers on the front porch!

Fantastic place to stay. The accommodations were comfortable. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook. We also grilled out while elk grazed 30 feet away. So awesome to see these beautiful creatures so close up. The hot tub was clean and very hot! We had a nice relaxing evening in it after playing golf at Sequoyah National. We will choose Longhorn Lodge again when we come to Maggie Valley.
