Watch elk graze at twilight, enjoy fireflies on warm summer evenings, and soak in panoramic mountain views from the expansive 16-foot porch.

    Inside, the 1,450 sq. ft. living space blends upscale finishes with cozy mountain charm. Highlights include a striking stone gas fireplace, granite countertops, a live log beam, and a handcrafted rustic staircase—creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels both elegant and comfortable.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! Norma was amazing to work with, so helpful, friendly, and responsive, which made the entire experience seamless. The location could not be better: super close to Cataloochee Ski Area, making ski days incredibly easy.The neighborhood was charming, quiet, and peaceful, and the cabin itself was spotless, beautifully appointed, and so welcoming. It truly felt like a home away from home. We loved that it was dog-friendly, and the setting was perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes.This cabin is an ideal choice for anyone wanting a cozy, clean, and convenient place near Cataloochee. We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it!

Amazing! The cabin was extremely clean, comfortable for 6 adults and had a beautiful view. Norma was very helpful and quick to respond to my messages. We all loved seeing the elks, ground-hogs, chipmunks, hummingbirds and even one skunk. We truly didn't want to leave. We definitely will come back again.

Loved this place! It was clean and the host was perfect! I reached out to her a few times, and I was amazed that she replied so quickly each time!!! Perfect location. Minutes away from Waynesville. Cherokee and Bryson City were not far away at all. Very quiet neighborhood. Had the pleasure of seeing an elk right in the yard (of course we viewed him from a safe distance). We loved sitting on the porch and looking up at the mountains. It was so peaceful. I would definitely stay here again! The host was perfect, as well as the house!

Cabin was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Location was close to Cherokee, Waynsville and Asheville.There are a lot of new cabins being built so not many open fields and the Elk did not come close to cabin but there was a farm next to neighborhood where they would come every evening to graze and we would drive over there to watch them.Norma was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had about the property or area. Cabin is very spacious and perfect for a family vacation!

My husband and I decided to stay a few days in Maggie Valley. The location of this home is perfect. It’s easy to find and convenient to everything we wanted to do.
