Maggie Valley Historic Farmhouse on 5 Acres!

Reviews

• What an awesome place!

  5/5

  We chose the farmhouse for the location and privacy, and it turned out to be the perfect getaway for our family. We've been to eastern NC but not Maggie Valley, and wanted a holiday for Mothers Day and to escape the hot, muggy weather here in St. Louis.

  This house was just like the photos, maybe a bit better. Very clean and well cared for, spacious and full of light. The yard is huge so you don't hear the neighbors, actually, the house next door appeared empty. It's on a very quiet road.

  The weather was gorgeous-- 70's and sunny. You hear birds singing in the trees in the morning. We also saw a few elk grazing behind the house on our first morning! Great photo opp.

  We slept upstairs in the master / king size bed and were very comfortable.

  Our kids chose rooms downstairs and liked having their own space. There are plenty of DVDs, puzzles, games and books in both the upper and downstairs living areas. Our daughter loved the room with floral wallpaper and pink bed linens.

  Rooms were large including the bathrooms. There were plenty of extra towels and pillow options.

  Internet is fast, which is a plus for checking in at work.

  We especially enjoyed:

  - having our early morning coffee on the spacious front porch each morning. Hearing the creek and seeing the mountains was a memorable way to start the day.

  - taking photos with the big red barn and silo in the background.

  - the light, bright kitchen, with views from the breakfast area table.

  - walking around the neighborhood, seeing the creek and the neighbors' cows and horses.

  Maggie Valley is a cute little town. We had a delicious dinner with warm, wonderful service at Home Craft (try the blackberry pie and visit the speakeasy downstairs). There are tourist type shops but also a nice vitamin/wellness store, organic coffee shop, and locally owned pharmacy with a wine shop attached so you can get an Rx along with beer or local wines to go with dinner.

  Waynesville is larger, with more shopping and dining options. My wife and daughter loved exploring the shops and found a cute, old fashioned bakery (Kandi's) with cookies, cakes, pies, pastries of all kinds...

  This was a short trip. But we will definitely be back to see more of the mountains and spend more time on the "farm."
