Getaway Extraordinaire!

After TKA (Total Knee Replacement) surgery, my husband I, along with our adult son, traveled from FL to recuperate relax for 8 days . Our adult granddaughter (Greenville) came for the weekend to do arts/crafts, our daughter (Asheville) came for a few hours, so I was in heaven! Chestnut Lodge cabin is so welcoming therapeutic! Beautiful, clean, comfortable spacious safe. The small community boasts the same plus has the best of both worlds...mountain meadow views; inhabitants elk cows, bunnies, birds. Lots of pleasantries both indoors and out. Hated to leave. Camelle couldn't be any more accommodating. She is an excellent hostess.

Love this Cabin.

We really enjoyed Maggie Valley and the cabin. It was absolutely beautiful. Camelle the owner was wonderful. She followed up with us the next day asking if anything was needed which we really appreciated. The cabin included extra toiletries, dish soap, etc. Overall, everything was great. We will definitely be back!

Great Cabin and Location

My wife and I booked this cabin for an anniversary trip. We both loved the location of the cabin for many of reasons. The first reason is because you are in a good part of town and do not have to worry about watching your car and other belongings every minute to make sure they are still there and okay. You also are not looking over your shoulder for your safety every time you go out. Second is you are less than 5 minutes from restaurants and gas stations if you do need anything, so it is very convenient. It is a very easy straight shot to the casino also.

This mountain cabin was extremely beautiful, tastefully decorated and a wonderful get-away.
