About this property

Secluded mountain cabin 5 acres , all rooms with view, hear soothing waterfall

This smoke-free and pet-free log cabin at 4000 feet elevation provides privacy and beautiful views from every room, but is also minutes to entertainment, restaurants, and shopping. 3 bedrooms plus a loft offer a king-size bed , 2 queen size beds and a twin bunkbed. Amenities include hot tub in the master bath, unlimited free wireless internet access with unlimited streaming capability, full kitchen with microwave and coffeemaker and dishwasher, washer and dryer, 2 outdoor decks( one screened in with picnic area , one open with gas firepit), and 2 stone indoor gas fireplaces with remote controls. This cabin sits on 5 acres. Enjoy a leisurely time listening to the waterfall in the distance as you sit around the firepit and watch a magnificent mountain sunset.

It is a steep, winding 1.5 mile paved road from the main road in Maggie Valley (Soco Road, or Highway 19) to Woodpecker Rd. Woodpecker is a short (about 150 yards or so) gravel road that leads to our cabin, and one other home. The cabin’s driveway is about 100 yards down Woodpecker Rd. (which we’ll say is semi-steep), with a 180 degree switchback from Woodpecker that cannot be made with a single turn. For safety concerns and to prevent damage to the gravel road and driveway, we would ask that you do not bring trailers of any kind. There is just not enough room to safely maneuver a trailer on our property. The driveway is also very narrow for a short section just after the switchback (and boarders the mountain’s edge). Therefore, it’s recommended that one drives past the driveway entrance and then backs up the driveway to the cabin (as opposed to attempting a multi-point turn in), For exiting, it’s also recommended to drive down the driveway onto Woodpecker, then back all the way up Woodpecker to Upper Summit Rd. (the paved road). For sedan-size cars, a 3-point turn can also be done to exit the driveway onto Woodpecker Road. If steep winding roads, backing up, or navigating a narrow section of driveway that borders the mountain’s edge would bother you, then this cabin would not be for you! Also, be advised that Upper Summit Rd becomes impassible with ice and/or snow, so attempting to access the cabin during these conditions is not possible even with 4 wheel drive. Refunds will be given up to midnight the day before stay in case of inclement weather that creates dangerous conditions on the mountain.

Sorry, non-smoking renters/guests only and no pets allowed. There is no inside or outside smoking permitted.

This rustic cabin is decorated with the local farm culture history of the NC mountain area in mind. No Southwestern decor style here! If you love the rustic farmhouse look, you will love the farm theme of this cabin. See the unique old farm equipment displayed and rustic quilts that take you back to another era, but also enjoy all the modern conveniences in this newly constructed cabin.

Two and 1/2 levels (ground level, downstairs, and loft), connected via a spiral staircase include three bedrooms, two and 1/2 baths. King bed in master suite on ground level - Queen bed in loft - Queen bed in downstairs bedroom #1 - Bunk beds in downstairs bedroom #2. Sleeps 8 in total.
The loft has a privacy screen changing area and an armoire for your clothing storage.
Two person whirlpool tub, and large walk-in shower in master bath.
Two ventless gas fireplaces (main level and downstairs dens)
Multi-function game tables located both downstairs (Foosball, air hockey, miniature pool & table tennis) and in loft (bumper pool, poker/card table, or solid surface board game table).

Plenty of old-fashioned table games to play as a family, but you also will have 4 TVs with streaming Netflix and other streaming channels available, as well as unlimited internet access if you want to stay connected to the outside world. There is even a telescope in the loft (with instructions) if you want to gaze at the moon up close through the huge picture windows in the loft.

The cabin is located minutes from the Maggie Valley Festival Grounds, the Wheels Through Time museum, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Other nearby attractions include Cataloochee Valley, and historic downtown Waynesville. In winter, the Cataloochee Ski Area and Tube World offer skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing to the winter sports enthusiast. The Cherokee Casino is located about 20 minutes away.

Neaby shopping includes several chain grocery stores, local gift shops, and ice cream shops, with restaurants featuring fine and casual dining options.

Family vacation

My family and I absolutely loved the cabin and the location. It was spacious and clean and the views were gorgeous. It was very peaceful and secluded and perfect for unwinding after long days of hiking. Betsy was wonderful at communicating when I had a couple of questions. I would go back again, as well as recommend this property to others!

Perfect getaway

This was our second visit to this cabin. It was beautiful both times, with amazing views out the windows. Both times it was just a quiet, romantic getaway but next time we will bring our 4 kids. About 30-45 minutes from lots of hikes and the Blue Ridge Parkway and to The Biltmore. We did them all!

Great Property with Fantastic Views

Betsy was a great host and answered all the questions we had very quickly. The property is in a great location not far from Asheville (about a 35 minute drive) and very close to some really great hikes as well. The sunsets were amazing and made for a great ending to the days.

Perfect romantic, relaxing getaway

The cabin was fantastic! It was clean, had amazing views, all the rooms were nice and cozy, fireplaces, porches, kitchen, fire pit, tub. The owners were easy to communicate with. Everything was exactly as expected, worked great. Close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking trails, a grocery store and restaurants, though we brought all our own food and made meals every day.

Great cabin

Certainly! Here's a rewritten version: We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was impeccably cleaned and maintained, creating a wonderfully cozy atmosphere that made us stay longer than we originally intended. Despite the challenging driveway, following the host's directions ensured we had no issues. Waynesville, just a few minutes away, charmed us with its warm and welcoming people. We would definitely return—now we understand why it's so highly rated!

Get away in the mountains

It's a nice place to stay very up in the mountains. Beautiful view from the hilltop. The road to the cabin has some steep hill and curves climbing up to get cabin drive. We had to delay our stay for a few days due to Icey roads on the roads. Once we were there it was nice went to see waterfalls and went shoping with some other site seeing.

Beautiful cabin and view !!

The owners super nice and easy to accommodate. They are very specific about the cabin and everything that pertains to your stay . The only request I would say is that we needed more sitting in family areas . Two families shared this vacation and it had plenty of sleeping area , but we could not all sit in one area to hangout together in evenings . Overall beautiful stay , enjoyed it very much , I would return here , especially during fall season !

Really nice cabin and location

The cabin it self is really nice with all the necessary amenities needed for a confortable stay! Like others mention the actual drive up the road to the cabin is disable me too bad just the actual entrance to the driveway is the tricky part but doable. The only thing that I can think of is that the cabin needs a little more detailed cleaning in some corners there were some dead bugs and also the shower, besides that everything was good and the location is perfect as a home base. Thank you for such a nice experience for my family will definitely consider coming back!

Mountain Retreat

This property looks great in pictures but better in person! The back porch view alone is totally worth it. This gorgeous home is tucked away atop a mountain with better than amazing views. It’s quiet and dark at night, which was a great respite from our busy city life. Super clean and tons of space. Sleeps at least 7 plus room for a few kids on the big couch downstairs! Plenty of grocery stores within 10min drive. Lots of craft breweries nearby. Host was very accommodating! 10/10 would stay again.

Why they chose this property

We bought the land and had the cabin built from scratch and finished it in December 2016.

What makes this property unique

We love the seclusion of the 5 acres and the close convenience of shopping, restaurants, and all the activities Maggie Valley and Waynesville has to offer.
