As we arrived, I took a beautiful picture of the view, and it sits on my computer screen at work. Escaping the heat and humidity of a Florida July was amazing. To be able to open the windows and have a cool breeze was like a dream! This cabin had everything we needed, except an iron, but that was easily remedied as Walmart, Publix, etc are a short distance away. The Blue Ridge Pky entrance is right around the corner. Yes, the driveway is steep, but not unmanageable. The cabin is close to the GSMNP, tubing, rafting, etc. Enjoyed the hot tub, playing pool, and just looking at the view and listening to the wind in the trees. Everyone agreed it was a fantastic vacation, and a beautiful location. It's on my mind every day now, especially with the heat index around 110! Thanks for the memories!

We had a wonderful time visiting Maggie Valley and staying at the Mile High cabin. The views were spectacular and I don’t know of anywhere else that the views could be more spectacular. We enjoyed the train ride in Bryson City, Santa Land, feeding the bears in Cherokee. My son and I visited the casino and actually won some money. Everyone had a wonderful time. At the end of the day there is nothing more important than spending time with your family.

Such a beautiful view as soon as you get to the destination. The home is very comfortable, but, oh that view. Surprisingly, there were lots of things to do and see in Magee Valley,Cherokee and of course the Blue Ridge Pkwy. We had a very enjoyable vacation.

Our vacation in the cabin was great. View was amazing. Home was clean, beautiful, with lots to do. Evenings were competitive games of pool and electronic darts. Oh, the hot tub was relaxing. Good books. Puzzles and checkers. Kitchen accomodations allowed for delicious breakfasts and evening meals. I would stay here again. Thank you , Shawn, for sharing your home with us!

Mile High Cabin is the place to be when you want to get away for some peace and quiet. The porch provides a spectacular view of both sunrise and sunset. It was a great base for touring Maggie Valley and the Asheville area, as well as easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The road to the cabin requires a 4 wheel drive vehicle but it is not particularly difficult. The house is clean and well maintained, and had room for our family to cook and play games. The owner provided paper goods, soap, and laundry supplies, which is the first we have seen for a rental property. Overall, this was a great place to stay.

Shawn was great from check in and thru out our stay, even with a non techie renter, he was great & patient.
Beautiful home. So well equiped and comfortable. Fantastic view.
Backing up the driveway made it an easy unload and exit! We left the roadside porch lights on so we could find it on our return trips!
Thank you Shawn for sharing your blessings!

My hushand and I really enjoyed our stay. This is a beautiful mountain home with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. The location is far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet but close enough to Cherokee and Maggie Valley that we could get their quickly. There are a number of hikes and waterfalls a short distance away. Coming back for a soak in the hot tub after a hike was a big bonus. The kitchen was well equiped. I recommend this mountain home for your next getaway.

Great respite.
It was wonderful to get a break from the summer heat. Cabin was perfect. It had everything we needed. Our teenagers loved the pool table and darts. Each morning we enjoyed our coffee on the deck watching the valley below. Regarding the road to the cabin, it's doable without 4x4. But the last 1/10 of mile was much easier with it. I've already recommended this location to several friends.

Amazing!
The cabin was better than we even expected and Shawn made the experience so relaxing & enjoyable! The drive to the cabin was a little tricky, but my brother was able to make it up there in a Toyota camry, so not too terrible. Definitely will keep this cabin on the short list next time we visit the area!

Refreshing Serenity
Our brief stay at the Mile High Cabin was exactly as expected; peaceful, serene, and rejuvenating. The road in is accurately described, steep, and gravel, much like other roads we have taken to more remote cabins. Backing up the driveway was our best bet with an oversized SUV (Chevy Suburban), as the turn radius wasn't agreeable with the steep incline on the driveway. Things worked out fine in the end and the result was pure joy. The view is absolutely gorgeous, with the most amazing sunrises and sunsets. The cabin was well equipped and clean. Shawn, the owner, was super responsive and professional. My only regret is I didn't look for the waterfall and did not remember to sign the guest book! We loved everyday and really appreciate being able to stay at this beautiful home. We were a family of six with a three year old through a 17 year old celebrating this birthday and this cabin was a great fit for us all. Thank you!

Cool cabin.
Everything was as it says in description except that you need a 4wd or AWD vehicle no matter what time of year. Our small non 4wd SUV wasn't able to make it up the hill. Luckily one of us had a 4wd suv and was able to shuttle us and our luggage up to the cabin.
The cabin was very clean and had a very nice layout for a big group with all of the bedrooms and bathrooms on separate floors. The hot tub was very nice and clean and the place was stocked with more firewood than we could hope to burn.
It wasn't a huge deal but the cabin has a tiny kind of junk hot water heater that would run out of hot water fairly quickly and was incredibly noisy. This wasn't a huge deal and we all tried to stay positive but it really was pretty annoying and would regularly kill the serene mood anytime someone turned on water or flushed the toilet. Overall though it's a cool space that is close to a lot of neat things and secluded. I would happily stay here again.

The house is clean, well equipped, and has all the amenities for a multi-generational vacation. Shawn was readily available to answer any and all questions. The only con was the nail biting drive up the steep, gravel road to the house but we were forewarned by the owner (& the reviews!). We had a lovely week.

The road leading to,I underestimated. I did not see where 4x4 was needed and we rented the place for a Motorcycle weekend. Also the door on the bathroom upstairs isn’t installed properly and we had some trouble w that. Not having a/c was not an issue as the temp was a crisp 69 or less at night in July. And the direct tv guy never showed up to fix the box in game room as we were told. There were no major problems at all other than my oversight about the road. Definitely need 4x4 as it has about a 13 degree grade on loose gravel. I would definitely rent listing again. The view is amazing, the layout beautiful and the seclusion so peaceful!

Serenity on the Side of a Mountain
This property was exactly what we were looking for. It is secluded, private, quiet, wooded and designed for peace and relaxation. But, close enough to retail establishments and recreation. The casino and Publix are a twenty-five minute drive away. Hiking and fishing just down the road. The road from the highway to the cabin is unimproved. That means gravel and dirt. It is steep with sharp, hairpin curves. Those of us who like challenging roads will find this experience satisfying. For those that do not, hang on and enjoy the scenery. Our friends drove their Mercedes convertible to the cabin without problems. The cabin was clean, equipped as advertised and very comfortable. If it fits our plans we will be back.

Perfect place to unwind after a few busy days in the Smokeys!
We had the most amazing time at the cabin. The view was gorgeous and even with it being cloudy and rainy one day, it was very exciting to wake up literally in the clouds. The hot tub was relaxing and we had everything we needed in the cabin. The whole family had fun on the Nintendo Switch and playing "balls" - the kid version of pool when you don't trust your kiddos with a pool stick.
The drive up is a bit tricky, but in an all wheel drive sedan, we were fine going slow. Any questions we text Shawn with, he was really quick to respond. It was a great way to end our weeks vacation in the mountains.

Everything from renting the property to talking with the property manager was easy. The property was beautiful and peaceful. Such a nice place to relax and take a break. Everything was clean and well maintained.

Quiet and cozy
The cabin is located in the mountains and very quiet. The floor plan is suited for multiple families or families with small kids, as bedrooms are located at separate floor levels, offering some privacy.
My reminder to future renters is that 4wd or awd vehicle is a must. We came in our minivan and we had to back up to climb a steep slope just ahead of the property. In hindsight, any suv should have no problem.

Better than the Pictures
We had a fantastic time at this cabin way up in the mountains! The owner was very responsive and helpful for every inquiry, and gave an accurate description of the property. Everything was in working order and the cabin was quite clean, which my wife was very happy about. The drive up is definitely no joke, but was completely fine. (Would like to mention that the wifi is a hotspot from cell towers, which did effect my children's ability to do schoolwork; but we muddled through.) Great place if you are looking for tranquility!

We loved this property. The house was perfect for what we needed. There were 8 of us traveling together (4 adults and 4 teens). The teens took over the downstairs and were so happy to have their own "space" with a pool table and darts to keep them occupied. The home had everything we needed and the views were marvelous. The owner is really responsive and very helpful with things to do/see in the area. We are all big water drinkers and debated picking up bottled water and we are so glad we didn't. The water from the faucet was fantastic!The one downside to this location is the drive up. It's no joke. The first .25/.50 mile of the road up to the house is paved. The rest is gravel and not in great shape (no fault of anyone's other than Mother Nature). When they put in that 4x4 is required they aren't kidding. When the road was dry it was fine but when it snowed about 1-2 inches it became a scary drive down/up. We all laughed about it later and it certainly didn't stop us from enjoying Maggie Valley, skiing and just being there.
