Crashing Creek Cabin, Hot Tub, Mountain Views & King Bed!

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was as advertised and great quiet place to stay!"

Maggie Valley Cabin off the Blue Ridge Pkwy.

8/10 Good

"nice an quiet tv wasnt the best but overal it was a great stay . i would love to do again"

6 Secluded Acres/Hot Tub/Fire Pit/Wood Fireplace/Pool Table/Hammock/Pets OK

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed a few days in this very secluded, peaceful cabin. It was clean with plenty of space to relax. We spent most of our time sitting on the porch, relaxing. We also enjoyed shooting pool and appreciated all the equipment provided. The drive up the mountain to the cabin can be quite rough; it’s bumpy with many twists and turns. Once you pass the metal gate next to a power pole, be prepared—this driveway is no joke. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for this reason. Our car is a 2-wheel drive, and we managed to make it up. Just keep your hands on the steering wheel and go for it! Each time we arrived, it felt like we were getting off an amusement park ride. If you are looking for mountain views, this cabin may not be the best choice, as you are surrounded by trees instead. However, it is incredibly quiet and serene, which we loved! We would definitely stay here again. The host did a fantastic job of communicating with us throughout our stay. Thank you for sharing your mountain home!"

Moonlight Ridge - a wonderful little log cabin on 4 wooded acres

Private and quiet mountain getaway.

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here 3 years in a row. It's a beautiful property. Excellent location. Clean, quiet, comfortable. A"

Rushing Creek Retreat, Serene Cabin with Great Views!

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay for our 16th wedding anniversary. It was very peaceful sitting and listening to the stream from the porch above. The entrance was a little tight getting into the cabin but was nice once you got in and turned around if you’re in a suv or smaller. The bedroom closer to bathroom on lower level felt like it had a bit of moisture and sheets felt a bit moist. The other room felt fine so we slept in there with no issues. The decor was very nice and cozy and the porch had plenty of space to relax. We really enjoyed our stay at the rustic cabin retreat."

Enjoy the fresh mountain air at 4300 feet!

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent, just would have liked to have access to a broom. To sweep up the floor after walking on it during our stay."
