Fantastic Home!

Our family has rented a home in Waynesville/Maggie at least 1/year for over 10 years. Everyone agreed, this was the best yet. We had 6 adults staying at the house and 4 more were with us mid-afternoon until early evening. Having things spread out across the 3 floors meant it never felt crowded. Beautiful view, secluded and quiet.

Peaceful views

Plenty of room for our whole family. The furnishings were comfortable. The view was fabulous over the valley. The kitchen was well stocked to support most needs. Baby gates did not seem to fit. Very convenient to town, but you could not tell from the lofty location!

Beautiful property and views

We loved the property It made our getaway special. We cooked everyday so wished the kitchen was bigger. There were only three wine glasses and they were each different in size and style. We bought some and left them at the house. The indoor cleaning was not top notch. there were cobwebs in the house and some things were just not cleaned well. The outdoor areas and the furniture seemed like they were not cleaned at all. The overall experience was superb, however. We loved it so much that we have told friends about the propeery and they may be renting it In the future.

Had a great time!

This property exceeded my expectations. There was plenty to do even though it rained almost every day. Enjoyed the fireplaces, pool table, and well equipped kitchen. Views from every room were awesome. Location was perfect to go to the Smokey Mountain National Park, Biltmore House, and Train in Bryson City. The drive up to the property took some getting used to for these “flatlanders” from Florida. Would definitely book this house again.

Loved the house and the views.

Enjoyed the stay at the house and the views. The cool weather in the middle of summer being up at the top of the mountain was refreshing. The house accommodated our family very well. Everyone loved the house. When an issue did occur with the Master bathroom it was fixed quickly.

Gorgeous, clean cabin

This is by far the nicest and cleanest cabin we have ever stayed in (and we are sticklers about cleanliness, being former property managers). The views are awesome! We were able to catch some great camera shots of the sun rising over the mountains with the snow and ice capped trees illuminated. We received some snow, so we were thankful for our friend's 4WD in order to get up and down the mountain. Because of the chilly outdoor temperatures, we adjusted the heat registers in areas not being used in order to get more warmth flowing into the bedrooms. We figured this out after the second frigid night. The owner was great with communications. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us!

Trip of a lifetime!

There are beautiful places all over the world to see and experience, but when travel knits families, offers time for restoration and reflection and leaves you better than when you came, you have found the most special place of all. We could not be more grateful. Thank you so very much and… Merry Christmas!

Great View!

We had a great visit! The home is beautiful and spacious. There was plenty of room for all of us. We had two families 4 adults and 4 teens. The two master bedroom set up was really nice for more than one family and there was plenty of space for lounging around and dining. We loved the view from the decks. It is amazing.

Very Relaxing - Felt Like Home

We stayed for a month and it felt like a day. The home was very clean and welcoming. It had everything you needed and all in good working order. The setting was beautiful. We enjoyed feeding the birds in feeders provided. The location was convenient to the Blue ridge, golf, pickelball in Waynesville, Asheville, Waynesville and other interesting towns. Beds were super comfortable. We had several friends and family join us at different times and all enjoyed their stays. Plenty of room. Cathy was very responsive and helpful. Overall, it felt like home and we would definitely go back.
