"Great secluded property. Definitely follow the directions if you don't have a 4WD and arrive during the day. A few minor repairs needed but would stay here again. Loved the front porch swing. Very quiet, calm, and serene. Just what I was looking for."

10/10 Excellent
"Maggie’s Song was a wonderful retreat!! Communication was great!The host was very responsive to messages. The cabin was clean and very well stocked. The heater in the bathroom was a nice treat on cool mornings. The bed was very comfortable and loved the pillows!! We loved the outdoor spaces-the front porch for coffee and the fire pit area in the evening. The sound of the water was so peaceful!! The water pressure, especially at the kitchen sink seemed low, but it may be the norm when you are up in the mountains. Thoroughly enjoyed our week here!!"

"A True Home Away From Home!We've stayed in quite a few VRBO rentals over the years, but this one truly felt like home! The house was incredibly well stocked with everything you could possibly need, and you can tell a lot of thought went into making guests feel comfortable. Although it was just the two of us, there was more than enough space to comfortably accommodate the whole family. The views were beautiful, and the entire property was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable getaway. We would definitely stay here again!"

"This cozy little cabin was great for our anniversary get away! Secluded and peaceful while being close enough to town to enjoy some of what cute little Maggie Valley has to offer. It was clean and cozy with pretty much all the kitchen needs provided. Normally I have to take extra cookware to these rentals and we don’t need them here! The wood burning fire place was wonderful and sitting in the hot tub while being able to see and listen to the creek below us was magical."
