We just enjoyed a long weekend at this cabin. There were 3 of us staying…myself, my sister, and our 75 year old mom. Pros are location, price, and overall size of the property. The location was pretty easy to find and close to activities in Maggie Valley, Cherokee, and Maggie Valley. The view was very pretty. Price was good compared to other cabins the size of it in the area. The parking for only one car was a little tight but workable and parking for our second car was close. The kitchen was a good size, both bedrooms were plenty big, and it was very nice having 2 bathrooms. Check in and check out was very easy. Communication was good.
Cons are inside and outside stairs, lack of fans or air conditioning, seating, the fire pit, and a few cleanliness issues. The height of each step of the inside stairs was difficult. They would have been a bit scary for children or older people, especially since both bathrooms are downstairs. The outside steps are not in good shape and need some attention. I am glad it wasn’t any warmer than it was because it did get stuffy in the cabin, especially upstairs. An oscillating fan would have been nice. Another issue we encountered was seating. For a cabin that slept 4, there was not quite enough comfortable seating in the living room or front porch. The recliners were wonderful, but there were only 2. A small couch or loveseat might be better. Also, there were only 2 rockers on the front porch. The fire pit was down a slippery bank and there was no wood. Stepping stones would be very helpful. The outside deck had cigarette butts on it which is a bit gross if you are not a smoker. Some of the bed linens were stained.
Having said all this, overall, I would recommend this cabin.
