Mountain Ridge Lake House

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviews1 week ago

From the moment you walk in the door, it feels like home. The cabin is beautifully decorated and well appointed with anything you may need. The floor to ceiling windows in the master room are such a special touch. We left them open all night and watched the moon rise and stargazed. The kids enjoyed fishing down at the dock and playing in the play room. It is a decent trek up hill (from the dock to cabin) but helps that it’s a paved path. Such an amazing and peaceful time we had!

Kingfisher's Roost - Waterfront Cabin/Private Dock

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviews1 week ago

This was such a sweet stay and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful location - my husband enjoyed fly fishing during the day on the water and I was only 20 minutes from kayaking at the NOC. The house was very clean - tidy bathroom and kitchen with all your basics stocked to get you started. Hot tub was lovely and very clean! There is a steeper drop off next to the outside firepit so I would be mindful with little children. Easy check in and they were very flexible and responsive when we had some crazy weather pop up nearby. We will be back again and hopefully stay a little longer!

Cindy's Island

5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews4 months ago

Great location with beautiful views of the River and Hills in the background. The view from the front/ dining room was spectacular and spent a great deal of time there. The place was well decorated and appointed and stocked with necessary items and even some surprises like full spice drawer and some staples in the cupboard. All of the kitchen appliances and accessories to prepare any thing you have in mind. Lots of towels and great bedding. Outdoor fireplace burns lots of wood so if you are going to use that, and recommend that you do, get some additional firewood in addition to the firewood that is provided for you. All in all a fantastic place to escape to, would recommend to anyone who likes the Carolina mountains.

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 73 reviews4 weeks ago

I enjoyed this place 100%. Clean space, some privacy, extremely peaceful. Matt was super proactive in letting us know of the current events that could affect our stay, such as open fire bans. so therefore we could not use the fire pit. However, We enjoyed the scenery, the hot tub, the grill and other outside adventures. I would highly recommend staying here & I would definitely book with Matt again during a different season!

Country Cottage

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews3 months ago

This was without a doubt the best house I stayed in on my fourth visit to Maggie Valley. Everything works in the house and it smells great. It is super clean, in a super safe location, easy to get to and close to everything. Facing the river you can have your coffee looking at the beautiful wire in front of the house and then if you want go to the river to throw some rocks. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend it.

Cantrell Point Cottage on Keowee

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 41 reviews4 months ago

What a great place for our Thanksgiving getaway! Sleeping arrangements were great for a three-generation, 10 member family. The kitchen and living room are an awesome home base. The view of the lake and the outside area are absolutely outstanding. Everything is clean and top-notch. It was also a perfect spot for getting to Clemson University. From driveway to out football parking spot was about 30 minutes. We're hoping to make it an annual family tradition!
