First stay at this cabin and this is our favorite for sure. The views are amazing, the hot tub was hot and the weather was just right. Frank's in Maggie Valley is a great place to eat. We are hoping to make this our yearly getaway.

The favorite thing about our stay was the view, tubing and hiking. We went on the train ride through the mountains and ate at Pasqualinos. We loved hanging out with the family at the cabin, playing games, relaxing in the Hot Tub and looking at the beautiful sunsets.

As usual the sunsets were stunning and the view from the deck was spectacular. I know a lot of people go to the area for activities but to be honest it is a lot of fun to just stay at the cabin, take advantage of the hot tub and play games or whatever floats your boat. Everybody in our group was relaxed and having a good time. We had a blast. Escaped Atlanta during high 90s heat and mornings were so cool in the mountains that we almost needed sweaters. Any time is a good time to go!Will keep coming back!
