About this cabin rental
Escape away from everyday life to a place where it’s all about the view but you can stay connected if you wish. That’s what Hidden Mountain Respite is all about, high in Western North Carolina’s Great Smoky Mountains. This mountainside cabin sleeps 11, and offers plenty of space for family and friends. With stunning views from both levels, you will truly feel like you have gotten away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday world, as you enjoy your coffee from the covered front deck that expands to wrap around the side of this majestic home. This cabin is perfect for families or friends seeking a relaxing retreat. Brand new concrete full driveway to this home! Please note the road to this cabin from the main road is an off-road rustic experience and roads getting up to cabin are graveled, steep and bumpy. Money will not be refunded due to improper vehicles, due to not being able to get to cabin. This means no sport cars, hybrids, front wheel drive mini vans or sedans, motorcycles or trailers. Four-wheel drive vehicles only. In any type of snow or winter event four-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, AND chains would be required. This property is not pet friendly. Unauthorized pets on property will incur a $300 per pet penalty. Once inside, the main floor opens to a large open living room featuring beautiful stone wood burning fireplace with plenty of comfortable seating. Enjoy board games or family dinners together in the main dining room and open kitchen that is fully stocked with your favorite cooking utensils and appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen on the main floor are two of three queen bedrooms, one full bedroom, full bath and adjacent washer and dryer laundry area. Entering the upper level, you will immediately feel welcomed by the game room complete with pool table, bar area and a twin over full bunk area. Also on the upper floor is the queen master suite with master bath as well as an additional queen room. Outside, the afternoon sun will catch you napping or reading your favorite book from the large wraparound deck as you smell dinner cooking on the grill. Give yourself time to finish that last chapter and a glass of your favorite beverage, though! Spend the rest of your evening under the stars enjoying the bubbling hot tub or gather around the fire pit with chairs. Flat screen TV, central air and heat, washer, dryer and Spectrum High Speed Internet and Wifi complete the package. This special mountain getaway will give you lots of memories to take home, and you will surely want to visit again! Just a few minutes’ drive to the heart of Maggie Valley, Cataloochee Ski Area (known for being one of the first ski resorts in the US to open each year), Tube World (snow tubing), Wheels Through Time (a historic motorcycle museum featured on the History Channel's “American Pickers”), horseback riding and golfing. In about 25 minutes, you could be in Waynesville at Ingles and Publix grocery stores, Walmart or head to Main Street in Waynesville and enjoy additional shopping, dining, and sightseeing. This home is just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Harrah's Cherokee Casino (even if you do not gamble, Harrah's has some of the best restaurants around), Pisgah National Forest, several golf courses, and just west of Cherokee is Bryson City (home of the Great Smoky Mountain Railway and “Polar Express” during the Christmas Holiday). A little more than 50 minutes away, you’ll arrive in Asheville at the Biltmore Estate & Winery (America's largest and most visited privately-owned home), many great restaurants and micro-breweries, and 1 hour and 30 minutes away is Transylvania County (home of the most waterfalls in the United States), and over 100 Antique Shops.

House is great, full kitchen, plenty of room, the hot tub was very clean and the kids loved it. Fire pit put back was also nice for s'mores. The driveway is very steep, gravel road, would be tough to get up if there's any inclement weather. The check in location is about 15 minutes from the house, ski resort is also 15-20 minutes away. Host was very receptive and easy to work with

Great place to stay. Great house. The driveway is in fairly poor shape. There are ruts and large holes that have been semi filled with loose gravel, so 4 wheel drive and a decent amount of speed are required to get up the driveway even in good weather.

We loved our week in this beautiful cabin. A couple of elk came walking in the yard . Maggie Valley is a family friendly town.

Everything was all we could imagine. It was a great place to just kick back and relax. My family enjoyed it so much. As noted by previous guests, you should definitely get an all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive vehicle. We made it to the bottom of the driveway but could only make it 3/4 of the way to the cabin. We rented a 4wheel drive for the rest of the week.

The Large Cabin had plenty of room! We where blessed to see ELK in our yard during our stay! Games on site. Large deck for viewing the surrounding mountains. Private for seclusion. Helpful Managment. 20 min to Maggie Valley or 30 min to Cherokee. Steep driveway- Moutain Adventure :)

This house was perfect for a group of friends getting away to ski for the weekend. Super clean and easy to get into, though the hill getting up to the property is no joke (booking manager communicates this with you).
Clean property, our group definitely enjoyed that there was an outside aspect (hot tub) as well as indoor entertainment with the pool table.

From start to finish I had a wonderful experience. Started with the friendly staff awaiting me to pick up my cabin packet. Then I was off to my stay. Me being an outdoors lover as soon as we it the dirt and started winding up the mountain i was in paradise from the babbling creek rolling off the mountain to locking it into 4wheel drive to make to the top. Once you walk out on to the porch the view is breath taking. Not to mention the cabin was nice also. Highly recommend this cabin . Only advice I would give the owner is to put a internal heater on the beautiful bathroom tub up stairs. Thanks for renting to us.

Great house for large groups! We had 9 adults and still had an extra bedroom! Hot tub and fire pit were awesome! Driveway definitely requires 4WD so don’t take their notices lightly!

Excellent Location
The home was in excellent condition. Very spacious with a large deck to enjoy the magnificent views. We even saw an elk walking through our driveway. It's a great location in Maggie Valley. The driveway does require 4WD as owners mention. We didn't have any problem in our 4WD vehicles. Would definitely recommend this place.

Exactly What We We’re Looking For
From the moment we entered the property, we knew we would enjoy our stay. The pictures presented on the site reflected exactly what we saw. The three nights we were there, we had fires in the large stone fireplace for those who chose to stay inside, fires in the fire pit for those who elected to take in the cool spring evenings and friendly disagreements about whose turn it was to be in the hot tub. Did I mention the hot tub was next to the roaring flames of the fire pit? Absolutely beautiful at night. Grilling on the charcoal grill, drinking coffee on the wrap around porch watching the sunrise, napping in the hammock and fierce competitive games of pool were just a few of the many experiences shared and enjoyed by our family. A definite win for us.

Maggie Valley is one of Gods greatest gifts

Great views and property
We had a great time at this house! Perfect set up for a large group of friends and a convient location for going to the casino or local golf courses. Highly recommend bringin a four wheel drive vehicle because the gravel driveway is very steep. All in all I would love to go back again!

Great cabin!
Make sure to take 4 wheel drive no matter what you think. Also had some issues with the electric locks not working. Everything else was perfect and the view is amazing. Loved seeing old ghost town from the cabin.

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view and quiet area. Understand now why a 4 wheel drive is a must.! Location is very high up on mountain. Only thing that would make this better is another bathroom.
