About You
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!!!

Unique Benefits
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.

Perfection in the mountains

Blackberry Lodge was an exceptional place to spend our week riding all the Smokey Mountain roads. Great location for bikers with easy and, best of all, flat access. There's a nice wide driveway for parking , even if you're trailering. The cabin is super nice, super clean and super comfortable, and perfect for one to three couples. In our case we were three couples and had plenty of space. Also, our host Camelle, is awesome as well. Very attentive and very easy to communicate with. Can't recommend this property enough.

Amazing cabin, amazing area!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at blackberry lodge. The cabin was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Mountain views all around the cabin and if you wake up early (7am or earlier) you’ll see all the elk out in the meadow! This place is great and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful cabin!

We had a truly amazing stay at Blackberry Lodge! The cabin was extremely clean and had everything you need. Having the two separate living areas was a bonus we aren’t used to in a cabin rental and we loved it! Every morning and evening we had so much fun viewing the elk on the wrap around porch; several evenings we rushed back to the cabin because the kids didn’t want to miss the elk! We will definitely be back.

Amazing!

Incredible stay! The property was spotless and stunning. A beautiful place with amazing views and the perfect spot to sit by the fire pit and watch the fireworks in Maggie Valley for the 4th. The owner Camelle was wonderful and thought of everything for our stay. Most definitely will be booking again!

Amazing Views and Elk!

We had an amazing time at Camelle’s cabin! Upon arrival we could tell that it had already met our standards. It was immaculate and stocked with all dishes and items we needed for cooking on our vacation. The location was amazing. No curvy scary toads to get to it and still had an amazing mountain view. The elk came to visit multiple afternoons and it was such a treat. We will be back next year for a yearly trip to Maggie Valley!

Magical

We could not have planned a better trip. Blackberry Lodge is stunning. Our trip was just Magical not only did we have snow but the location and the Elk right in the back yard made the trip so special. If you could give the Blackberry lodge 10 stars that is what it would get from us. It was wonderful, the cabin had everything we needed, we felt like we were at our home away from home. We can't wait to visit again. Camelle was the best host. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Exceeded our expectations

Our stay at BlackBerry Lodge was wonderful! The views are fantastic from every window and room of the cabin. We enjoyed the elk in the yard and neighborhood everyday. The cabin is centrally located and well built. It is quiet and peaceful. It is clean. We appreciate the no pets rule as we have pet allergies. The gas fireplace makes it warm and cozy. It is nicely decorated and the Fall decorations were a nice surprise. The furniture is comfortable. The handmade quilts are beautiful. The kitchen is very well stocked even with a turkey roaster. The snacks and water when you arrive are a nice treat after being on the road for hours. The coffee mug and journal are the perfect gift and very thoughtful. Camelle has thought of everything! She is the perfect hostess! This has been our best experience yet! It truly felt like home away from home.

Wonderful place to stay with the best host in the valley!

We’ve vacationed in the Maggie Valley/Waynesville area for the last 13 years. With every stay we try to hone in on a little better location every time. Well, we’ve found it. Beautiful place, everything was perfect and we saw elk every day! To top it off, the host was so responsive and helpful it’s as tho she’s been a family friend for years! Totally awesome trip and we will be back time and time again! Nothing negative to say at all, only thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Blackberry Lodge is the perfect home away from home!

We loved the peaceful setting of Blackberry Lodge. Coffee on the porch with the views of the mountains, the cows, and the elk was very relaxing. The cabin is beautifully decorated and provides all the amenities needed for cooking, relaxing, and visiting with family. The beds were super comfortable and provided a wonderful night’s rest each night. Our cabin was also very clean which was a huge bonus!

Awesome Location

The Blackberry Lodge is an absolutely beautiful home. The home is in a central location. Several mountain towns with plenty of exploring options in the area. We took advantage of the porch with beautiful mountain views at sunrise and sunset. The Elk randomly showed up to visit in the morning and evening. The home was very comfortable and inviting with plenty of amenities. I would highly recommend The Blackberry Lodge. We will definitely be back. Joe and Brenda
