Charming cabin with breathtaking views.

HannahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We can’t say enough good things about this place!! The pictures don’t do the views justice. The place was so clean and cozy and was probably one of the best Airbnb stays I’ve had! Maggie Valley was such a cute town too and not too far away from so many restaurants and hiking places. If you’re thinking about staying in this area, we can’t recommend Philip’s place enough!! Thank you again for a wonderful stay! 😊

Larks Cove Cottage

HeidiRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This is the second time our family stays a Larks Cove. We love it. We feel right at home. It’s such a cozy home and we love hanging out at the fire pit. The game room is very fun and the house over all is very clean. It si close to many places like Cherokee and Bryson City. Katharine takes the time to recommend places and to give clear instructions to arrive. Checking in is so hassle free which is a huge plus for us. This is why we came back and we will continue to come back

Cheerful Mountain Cottage with Hot Tub

SarahRating, 5 stars6 days ago
I am an avid hiker and not from north carolina so i have stayed in many cabins. This was by far my favorite. It was Absolutely beautiful and spotless. James provided a quick tour, was very responsive to messages, and very kindly told us we could help ourselves to what was in the kitchen. 10/10 we would absolutely come back.

Charming Maggie Valley Cottage

DawnRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This home was great for our week stay. We truly loved the back yard. We have a dog and it was very nice to be able to let him out and run around a little. The road is noisy (which we already knew) but it was not noticeable when inside the home or at night when sleeping. We had no problems at all. The water pressure was amazing! There were plenty of items in the kitchen for cooking. The bathroom was well stocked. Beds were comfortable (my daughter did say the twin bed was a little hard). Samantha was extremely kind and responsive. We would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay, enjoying the hot tub, fire pit, and sharing meals around the indoor and outdoor tables. The home was clean and welcoming, with an ideal layout. It's an easy drive to lots of great spots in Maggie Valley. And how refreshing to find a cabin with all the amenities, without a terrifying drive to get there!

Mountainside Cottage

JamesRating, 5 stars4 months ago
First I will say that getting up to this property felt treacherous, especially at night. Highly recommend an AWD vehicle if you’re coming up here. Otherwise, the place was very private, clean, and beautiful! Cynthia was an exceptional host - she made sure we arrived safely and was proactive in her communication.

Coon Creek Too: A Creekside Smoky Mountain Refuge

KellyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We loved our stay at Mary's! Our dog especially loved drinking water from the creek at the end of the property. The place has an added bonus of having a bed and bathroom split from the main house. We explored Dillsboro, which is only 15 mins away, and did some hiking in Sylva and Western Carolina University, which are a little further past Dillsboro. This is a beautiful part of the country, and well worth a stay at Mary's to visit.

Whittier Mountain Hideaway w/ Breathtaking Views

DeniseRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Great little place with wonderful views. It was exactly what we were looking for to unplug from our busy lives, and enjoy some hiking, mountain biking and languishing with a glass of wine and a good book! The outside space was perfect with plenty of comfortable seating on decks and porches, a backyard for Finley to chase around his ball, and a gas grill which made dinner prep a breeze! We hope to be back one day. Thanks Michelle!

Pet Friendly Cottage, Huge Backyard inLake Toxaway

StephanieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Absolutely beautiful weekend getaway for us. We loved this home and Patrick makes everything easy, from check-in to check out. Amazing amenities and little touches of things you might have forgotten or need are right there ready for you. Beautiful area and really close to the lake for a hiking and nature weekend. When we checked in to the house, there were local maps and lists of local recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Great star and lightning bug watching views at night. Very peaceful! Very friendly rv campsite next door, that was very quiet and friendly. Local recommendations are Charlie’s Hot Buns, The Market, and Sweetwater.

Cashiers cottage - 5 min to downtown, dogs ok!

JamesRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Tyler was an amazing host and was very flexible. I booked this stay 2 days before the trip, and the space was perfectly ready and clean. I will note for future guests that it can be a little hard to find in the dark, and there is no cell service up there, so make sure you have all the check-in info saved before you arrive! Other than that, it was a perfect stay. He even had peaceful music playing on the TV when I arrived, which was a great touch! He was also very responsive and friendly, would absolutely stay again if coming to the Cashiers area

Came to stay here for a work retreat and was looking for a cozy, comfortable place to enjoy. This place was the perfect fit! We were able to find it easily, near a lake and enjoyed the beautiful Mountain View’s. We enjoyed all the options for hiking and enjoying good food surrounding the area. The amenities here were fantastic and fully stocked for a relaxing retreat! We will be back. From the check in, to asking questions about the area to check out Pam was fantastic. Highly recommend this cabin and we will be back!

Peaceful 5 acres with creek! Central to WNC!

DaraRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We absolutely loved the place! The house was great and comfortable. It was just as described. The stream on the property was so relaxing and peaceful. The small fenced off dog area gave us reassurance for our pets safety at night and the dog door was a thoughtful bonus. Most of the windows were without screens so that was a slight disappointment because the weather was perfect for having the windows open. We enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit. Nothing better than a fire, the sound of a stream, and private beautiful wooded surroundings. The road getting to the property was rough. There is a mention of the gravel drive with a suggestion of having a high clearance vehicle. I would change that to state that a high clearance vehicle or a 4 wheel drive vehicle is necessary rather than just suggested. The host and accommodations were excellent. We definitely look forward to another visit.

We stayed 5 nights to experience the local trails and lakes/rivers. The restaurants in Highlands were super close and every meal was amazing! We enjoyed sitting on the deck by the waterfall even though it was chilly outside. It was so peaceful and the landscaping was thoughtfully done. The house is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed. The area is breathtaking and I’d love to return in the future.

Cozy Nest close to WCU and Great Smoky Mountains

JasonRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Nancy's place was a great place to stay and visit our son AT WCU. It is conveniently located. The house is very comfortable and has plenty of space to relax and enjoy a weekend away. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and items that I could bake for our tailgate. So, that was a plus. This is definitely on our list of places to stay in the future.
