Mountains at sunset from the porch The owner was extremely responsive to an A/C problem and repair crew showed up shortly on Saturday evening. They returned in the morning and replaced bad fan motor on Sunday, amazing response time. Very nice location with the mountain views from the porch we watched the lightning bugs at night. Very clean and comfortable.

Quite the adventure We love staying here!! We came up this trip to celebrate my husband’s 65th birthday & it will be one to remember - Hurricane Helene!! The valley protected us & we never lost power or use of water. Our host stayed in contact with us up until we lost cell coverage & was back with us once our service was restored - thank you Mr. Rucker !!!

Perfect for Us This is our second stay and it was just as great as the first. The cabin was perfect for our needs. The cabin is not too far up the mountain and has a fabulous view. Quick in and out and close to everything we love about the area. The hummingbirds were a treat! There were no elk this time but we still have the memories of the babies we saw during the first stay.

Getaway! We loved this place. It was clean, well stocked, comfortable seating and comfortable master mattress. (We didn't use 2nd bedroom). The location is convenient to so many places. We hiked to waterfalls, saw elk at Cherokee and rode the train in Bryson City. Sitting on the deck was lovely with hummingbirds visiting all the time and beautiful view of the mountains. There is some noise as it is not far from the main road, but it didn't bother us at all. The host was great and we would definitely come again!

Motorcycle noise all day, every day. Beds uncomfortable. I was looking forward to a nice quiet get away but found out to late that the property was to close to the main road thru Maggie Valley. The property was well kept and furnished well. I booked for a week but left a day early due to noise and beds.

Relaxing For rest & relaxation, this is the perfect place! This was our second stay & can’t wait until September for our third. We had to leave early this trip due to a family emergency & Mr. Rucker was great to work with us. This place is great & I recommend staying.

Excellent Place The view was amazing. The house was pristine clean and very adequately supplied. First time I have stayed at a VRBO and not had to go buy paper towels. The owner gave detailed instructions about the security system, tv, etc. The owner also made a lot of recommendations of places to eat. We will definitely be back.

Thanksgiving in the Mountains This property was perfect for two of us to get away for Thanksgiving. House was decorated for Christmas and was very nicely furnished. It was close to Maggie Valley and a short drive to Waynesville. We will stay again if we are traveling alone.
