The trees from the porch was blocking most of the view. The bed was hard not enough hot water. There were also spider webs in the bathroom right around the window. I have to say it was in a good location close to everything.

This is our second time in this unit. Very quiet location on the pond. Very nice location for a couples weekend getaway. Enjoyed the hot tub and comfortable bed. Wood burning fireplace is a nice touch as well. Bring your own food, as there isn't a good reliable restaurant in Maggie Valley. Unit was very clean upon arrival.

Our two night stay was wonderful. This was our second time staying in this cabin. The cabin was clean. There were plenty of linens. We enjoyed being lazy and sitting around the fireplace. The bed was comfy and extra pillows and blankets were provided.The office staff were kind when we arrived. We can't wait to stay again 😊

Great cabin getaway

It was our second time staying here & we very much enjoyed our time. Prior to our trip, we did message the property managers asking questions but never received any answers. The cabin was very clean except for some dirty dishes & cutlery (dried food, etc) that we had to clean ourselves before they could be used. Suggestions would be to upgrade the blinds so that all could be opened (missing parts) & microwave to higher power model. Refrigerator also could be upgraded for a more aesthetically pleasing vibe (it looked like ALOT of mold on the outside of the fridge). Overall, we enjoyed our stay & hope to return in the future!

The cabin was sweet, perfect size for a couple.……the furniture was impossible to get comfortable in, wifi service was poor, there are cracks in the walls to the outside and the fireplace didn’t have a good draw.

Great place and great location!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Close to many attractions and restaurants. I personally loved the ducks, they would come visit in the morning and when we got back at the end of the day. We enjoyed feeding them each day.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin and the area is beautiful. The cabin was clean and tastefully decorated. There were only two metal clothes hangers available in the closet and the three spare bed pillows had no pillowcases. The pillows on the bed need to be replaced. There is no dresser to store clothing. I enjoyed watching the ducks while having coffee in the morning. A cow elk walked past one evening. I hope to return next year.

Don't even have to go out to see Elk

When we arrived on Friday we were greeted by a visiting Elk and daily visited by resident ducks. The place is quiet, cozy and perfect for couples. Only real complaint is the lack of hot water. It started off fine but ran out quick. Couldn't fill the hot tub without running out.
