Sneak to the one of the decks to rock your cares away and maybe catch an Elk grazing in the field. Bring your sweetheart or family for a tiny glimpse of paradise....Ahhh the view......

Picturesque setting with unobstructed year round wide open mountain views of the famous WATERROCK KNOB. The cabin has approximately 1808 sq feet of living area, plus it has a large wrap around deck in the front, back, and side. The cabin has rustic charm with an amazing views of Waterrock Knob from all windows.

Perfect cabin

We've been coming to Maggie Valley for several years and usually stay in local motels. We opted to stay in a cabin this time and Camelle offered the perfect choice. So clean and the bed was extremely comfortable Loved the location! Beautiful views and even got to see elk grazing in the pasture across the street. We will definitely use Camelle for our next trip!

Loved out stay at Chestnut Lodge!

We’ve traveled to the Smokies for many years and only recently tried the Maggie Valley area. Chestnut Lodge is probably one of the best cabin rentals we’ve stayed at. All the furniture was updated and comfy. Since it was a little chilly we really liked using the gas fireplace. Fall colors were still beautiful and we watched the elk grazing in a nearby field. We can’t wait to return.

Awesome place to stay

This was our 2nd time to stay at Chestnut Lodge and again, it did not disappoint. The cabin is immaculate, beds are comfortable, and it is stocked with all necessary items for an incredible visit. Elk viewing is amazing and the panoramic scenery is beautiful. Plan to come again at earliest opportunity.

Such a beautiful cabin and a peaceful setting

Everything was absolutely beautiful. After the year we have had so far losing our son in law, this place was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the quietness and beautiful setting. The owner has always been wonderful to work with. I have rented from her for several year. Thank you Camelle for sharing your beautiful cabin with my family. Nell

Cabin was beautiful and the elk were a bonus. We saw one in the field as soon as we walked through the door. Cabin is very clean and well stocked with everything you need. Camelle went above and beyond to make sure our trip was perfect. Thanks for everything.

Great cabin.

Chestnut Lodge was truly wonderful. The majestic views are breathtaking. The Lodge is beautifully furnished and equipped with every amenity. We especially enjoyed rocking our cares away on the porch. We even had a visit from an elk munching on a pear tree across the road. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to come back. Deborah Soncha Nancy Beverly from Greenville, SC

Precious time with family

This beautiful cabin was exactly as described. The kitchen was well equipped, the bedrooms spacious, and the living area comfortable. The beautiful, massive Elks roaming around was a real treat. The location was walking distance to the main street, which had plenty of restaurants and shops to visit. The Chestnut Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful Smoky Mountains and close enough to many other attractions. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back.

Wonderful

Chestnut Lodge is a wonderful place to stay! It is immaculate! Walking in the place you can feel the cleanliness. We have been coming to the mountains for the past five years always renting a cabin for 4-5 days, and this is by far the cleanest one we’ve ever stayed in. Beautiful, roomy and clean! It has an amazing view of the meadow below to watch the elk. Can’t say enough about it. Very nice. Definitely will be back. Thanks Camelle.

Wonderful Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation at Chestnut Lodge. Waking up each morning to Elk in the yard as such a cool experience. Close to all attractions. Make sure you ride the train in Bryson City. It was such a treat!

Chestnut Lodge was a welcome get away!

Chestnut Lodge was fabulous! It is in a great location. It is easy to access in the summer and the winter. We saw elk everyday coming down from the mountain to graze in the fields near the cabin. The cabin itself is beautiful and so clean! We are looking forward to visiting again!

It was a beautiful and comfortable cabin and location

Beautiful place, nice neighbors and close to the town. Weather worked out great. Neighborhood was beautiful and saw elk 3 times in the evenings. Would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to spend time in the mountains. You helped make our 18th wedding anniversary perfect.👍

About the host

Hosted by Camelle Reid-Blake

Host profile image
Willow Tree Cabins is a company I started because I wanted to manage my cabins myself so I could give PERSONAL SERVICE to my great guests. I own all five of may cabins so I want to make sure that all are maintained to the highest standards. I am from North Carolina and have lived in the mountains all my life. I bought this cabin in Maggie Valley because of the easy access to so many things to do. It is close my home in North Carolina so it's a great little weekend getaway. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It's cozy and unique in every way you can imagine...BEST OF ALL ~~ IT IS VERY CLEAN!!!

What makes this property unique

The thing I love most about staying at my cabin is that the feeling cozy comfort is all around. You never even have to leave the cabin if you just want to sit and relax. A desk table at one of the windows is the perfect spot to put my laptop when I need to do a little of my work. The back covered deck has rocking chairs to sit and rock the evening away. The early morning sunrise will take your breath away, as well as the smell of the cool morning dew.
