Beth Brown was very pleasant and answered all my questions. She responded immediately. Her and Ken’s home was very relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there even though it was short lived since we had to leave early because I was sick. We hope to be able to rent their place again on our next trip to Maggie Valley.

This cabin was a wonderful place for us to stay for a long weekend of R&R. Getting to the cabin was easy and such a beautiful drive. We liked the easy access into the cabin; only one half-step to get in! The three bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The layout of the cabin was great! We were able to make such treasured memories playing cards and games at the kitchen table! We especially enjoyed sitting in the back porch swings and listening to the babbling creek that was in the backyard. We saw ducks, chipmunks, beautiful blue birds feeding their young, rabbits and a large woodpecker that visited. We also saw some brave kids tubing down the river and guys enjoying the fishing. I love the creativity you expressed in your “three-bears in a tree” carving that you made from the tree that had to be cut down; such amazing talent! Although it rained frequently, we were still able to enjoy the back porch swings and the rockers/swing on the front porch. We will certainly be coming back to your lovely cabin again in the near future.
