Alissa’s place was exactly as described. It was a beautiful place to stay while up in the mountains. It had a beautiful interior with an even more beautiful view outside on the patio. The amenities such as the hot tub and ping pong table were a nice inclusion. Alissa provided perfect instructions on how to arrive at the house as well. I would highly recommend her place to others; I would love to return sometime as well.

You won’t regret this one, Book it! Hosts were friendly, and very responsive. If I had a question, it was answered extremely quickly. The view is absolutely stunning 🤩 I truly felt like the pictures don’t even do justice to what my eyes were looking at. Very convenient to the ski area. Cute local shopping areas about 15 minutes down the street. The house was exactly as described. Kitchen was well stocked (which I very much appreciated). Fire pit and seating area were awesome! I honestly don’t have anything negative to say. We loved our stay here, and would return in a heartbeat ❤️

We had an amazing time! Could not have asked for a better view! We had everything we needed, barely left. The stove added a comfort level that was just amazing. The beds were comfortable as well as the couch. Enjoying coffee on the porch every morning with a view like that, I did not want to leave. We will be back! I highly recommend a weekend here 😊 also the communication was on point! I had all the information I needed before I knew I needed it and when I asked questions they were answered very quickly and satisfactory! Thank you for everything!

This house was everything we could have hoped for. It was private and in one of the most beautiful locations. The Mountain View’s from the house were absolutely breathtaking! The house was easily accessible and just as beautiful as pictured. The directions to the house were spot on and helped us navigate the mountain roads with ease. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a beautiful mountain stay. Alissa was very attentive and responsive, and I would absolutely stay at her listing again. This has to be one of the most beautiful views of Maggie valley I’ve seen! You’re less than 20 minutes from town and Cherokee if you wanted to visit the casino. As somebody who stays in the North Carolina mountains very frequently, the drive is not nearly as scary as many I’ve taken. As long as you follow the directions to the cabin, you should get there safe and sound! I do not have AWD but my SUV got there no issues whatsoever. I will be back next year for sure 🥰

Absolutely beautiful! One of the best views I've had in a while for a cabin. The beds were super comfy, great location! Wasn't too far from town but just far enough in the woods for privacy. Would definitely stay again.

The roads are narrow and made of gravel & dirt. The neighborhood entrance is very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance.
