We made a quick Presidents Day weekend trip to Maggie Valley in hopes to catch sight of snow for our kids. (We found some in the GSM Cataloochee area!) This listing looked great but exceeded our expectations. The owners have thought of all amenities needed for a very comfortable stay. Well outfitted kitchen, new appliances, very clean, comfortable bedding with extra blankets/pillows, games/books/TVs in all rooms, Keurig k-cup/pot combo machine, wine fridge, etc. The house had enough room for us to spread out. We made use of the washer and dryer after clothing got wet/dirty after snow tubing. The WiFi worked strong. We intended to make s’mores (sticks/firewood provided by owner) but it got a little late and cold the evening we planned for it. There are plenty of nearby local restaurants if you won’t wish to cook. We enjoyed Joey’s Pancake House, BearWaters Brewing, and Cafe Italiano. The owner lists a small nearby market but there is also a full Publix and Ingles about 6 miles away in Waynesville. There are other homes very near the house. We didn’t see anyone other than some rabbits that must live under the deck and in the nearby brush. Although the view isn’t that impressive in the day time, it is really fun to observe the twinkling lights on the mountain opposite the valley at night. As owner mentions driveway is steep and maybe intimidating if you’re new to mountain driving (we aren’t) - rest assured you can get up it just fine! 4WD if snow/ice. Thank you for a great stay!
