2 story cabin, right on a beautiful rocky creek. 2 bedrooms with king beds, 2 queen beds in loft. 2 bathrooms one downstairs and one upstairs (loft and bedroom share bathroom, 2 doors). All new appliances, laundry room, and FULLY stocked kitchen and grill. Lots of towels and soaps.
Amazing deck out back with beautiful views of the trees and creek. Stairs down deck to fireplace (need to bring your own wood) more stairs down to creek. Side area with swing and bird feeder.
Cabin was easy to get to as long as you follow the directions that the owner gives you! DO NOT follow mapquest by using the address alone, it takes you to another area! I did use mapquest and followed owner's directions step by step and we had NO problem finding the cabin. We rented a mini van and the access was easy! We got there early and ate lunch in the car, while the cleaner finished.
The owner's directions say to turn onto Plott Balsam Road between the motel with a red roof and Starvin Marvin's. Both are CLOSED and the sign says Blue Ridge Motel. But no sign for Starvin Marvin's, but you can't miss the 2 red roofed buildings on the left!
Pets: we brought 2 smaller dogs and had no issues at the cabin. There is a pet fee for each dog. I usually let them out Front to use the bathroom, due to the stairs off the deck. No issues! It is a big yard with lots of trees, so keep an eye on dogs that love to explore. We bought bells to put on their collars, in case of bears! I did have to carry my smaller dog up the stairs since it wore her out a bit.
Pros for cabin: right between Maggie Valley and Cherokee, VERY secluded, super comfortable beds, all windows have WOOD BLINDS (big plus for me since I like it dark while I sleep), amazing yard and landscape, right on the creek (my kids LOVED going up and down the creek, water shoes a must!), spacious bathrooms, plenty of room for a big family, lots of games and books, and just all around amazing cabin!!
Cons for cabin: LOTS of stairs, King beds are VERY high (my mother-in-law is only 5'2 and could not climb into the bed. We brought down the foot stool from the upstairs bedroom and put it next to the bed, so she can climb in.)
Tips: Head to cabin during the day, so it is easiest to find. The mountain roads have mirrors around the turns to make driving them easier! Bring extra trash bags, we had 2 and it was barely enough for 4 days. Closest grocery store is in Waynesville 30 mins from the cabin. Places close on Sundays.
Enjoy it!!!!
