About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cozy mountain retreat overlooking long-range mountain views.

This well-appointed lower level 800 ft.² unit at Qualla Cabin is located in a secluded mountain area with awesome long range views (4500ft) Just west of the town of Maggie Valley, on the border of the Cherokee Reservation. The entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway is minutes away, for unlimited mountain cruising and hiking in the Great Smoky National Park. Maggie Valley offers Cataloochee Ski Lodge, Wheels Through Time motorcycle museum, snow tubing, a variety of restaurants and pubs, and shopping. Visit the casino in Cherokee, or head to Asheville for the day. Enjoy long-range mountain vistas from the comfort of the full-length, ground-level deck while sipping your favorite beverage. Watch and listen to abundant bird life. It's not uncommon to catch a glimpse of elk or black bears that share the mountain with us. Hummingbirds flit from feeder to feeder, as do Gold finches, Nuthatches, Cardinals, Bluebirds and the Tufted Titmouse . You won't want to miss the spectacular sunsets on display nightly, or watch storms roll in through the valley. There is a lot to do if you choose, but it's also the perfect place to slow down and just breathe!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, a stovetop, and a microwave. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Capt. Tony and Nancy are friendly, well-organized, helpful hosts, and great communicators. They put a lot of love and creativity into their cabin. I loved the fall decor and fresh flowers from the garden. Everything was very clean, the bed was super comfortable with high quality pillows and linens. The views from the private covered porch were gorgeous. The quiet, high country environment was just right for my solo retreat. Thank you!

What a gorgeous cabin! Everything was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Lovely furniture, appliances, linens, overall feel of the place — all wonderful. The views are spectacular! It is quiet and peaceful, and there are so many stars without the light noise of a city. Capt. Tony and Nancy were so welcoming, and were incredibly helpful in suggesting sights and restaurants and towns to visit. They answered messages immediately, and were so hospitable and warm. They even had dog treats for our pup, Ella. If I could give this place 15 stars, I would. (By the way, the VRBO app had us rate skiing—it was October, no skiing that time of year in NC, and I don’t ski, but I had to fill that in section for VRBO to complete the recommendation, which I wanted to do because we enjoyed it so much.) We will definitely stay here again. Plus, there is so much hiking around the general area, dog-friendly towns if you’re bringing your pup, and the elk at Oconaluftee Visitor Center fields were fascinating. The Blue Ridge Parkway is spectacular. Don’t wait — book it!

My husband and I had a really great time staying in this mountain cabin over the Labor Day weekend. The cabin is cozy, comfortable, beautiful, stylish, very clean, well-equipped with modern amenities, we had everything we needed during our stay. The view from the porch is spectacular, especially during sunset! The property is situated in a convenient location, close to all local amenities and facilities while peaceful and quiet. The owners are very kind and welcoming, provided lots of helpful information about the surrounding area, such as river walks, numerous waterfalls, hikes to awe-inspiring mountain and valley views, historic sites, local restaurants and more. We were lucky to observe some animals in their natural habitats, including elks, black bears (make sure to keep a distance)), chipmunks, rabbits, groundhogs, hummingbirds and many other kinds of birds. We will consider this place for our future mountain retreats!

My husband and I love this little cabin. The mountain views are perfect from all areas inside the cabin, but my favorite view was from the front porch. Capt Tony and Mrs. Nancy were the sweetest hosts and ensured we were ok and comfortable throughout our stay. Capt Tony gave us suggestions of things to do and places to eat while in the area….. his suggestions did not disappoint, all were amazing!! The hospitality given to us by Capt Tony and Mrs. Nancy was phenomenal!! 5 stars all the way!!! We will certainly book this cabin again! Thank you Capt Tony and Mrs. Nancy!!

Breathtaking Stay at Qualla Cabin – A Smoky Mountains Gem!

We had such a great time staying at Qualla Cabin in the Smoky Mountains. The view from the porch was absolutely incredible, you could see for miles, and watching the sunset with a drink in hand was something we’ll never forget.The cabin was super clean, the bed was really comfortable, and it had everything we needed. You can tell it’s well taken care of.Captain Tony and his wife Nancy were the best hosts we’ve ever had. They were so friendly and helpful—gave us great tips on where to hike, where to spot elk and bears, and even recommended some awesome places to eat and shop nearby.The location was perfect. It’s only a few minutes from the entrance to the national park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is just down the road. We ended up driving that way a lot because the views, waterfalls, and winding mountain roads were way more fun than the main highway.There were plenty of great places to eat, especially some nearby brewpubs with good food and outdoor seating. And we can’t forget Joey’s in Maggie Valley, one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in a long time.If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing views and great hosts, this is the spot. We’re already talking about coming back!

Our anniversary getaway at Captain Tony and Nancy's beautiful mountain home was everything we could have hoped for and more.Their place was spotless, cozy, and so thoughtfully prepared-it instantly felt like a home away from home. We loved every moment, from peaceful walks along the Oconaluftee River and relaxing time at Lake Junaluska, to exploring the charm of downtown Waynesville with its great food and local shops.It was the perfect mix of nature, comfort, and small-town magic. We're already looking forward to our next trip back to this wonderful state filled with kind-hearted people

Excellent!

The cabin was great as were the hosts. Everything was clean, private, and well maintained. The hosts went above and beyond for us. We had to find a place quickly because my husband’s brother took a turn for the worse and we got there just in time to say goodbye. Capt. Tony bought a sympathy card and treats for my pups. The special little touches like fresh flowers in the kitchen, bathroom, and front porch made it welcoming and homey. He was very helpful with restaurant advice and things to do that I hope to one day be able to do. The reason for the visit was the only downside.

One Fine Stay!

We had a great overall experience, “dandy” in the words of my wife! The property was clean and the hosts were friendly and very communicative. There are excellent views and it is in a good location relative to places like Asheville, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cherokee, Waynesville, and more! The only real downside to the property is the road up to the house. The last mile and a half or so is unpaved and fairly loose. If you have an SUV or truck it will not be an issue. Anyone with a smaller two wheel drive car May struggle on the road, especially in bad weather. Overall great stay!

Captain Tony and Nancy are exceptional and highly attentive hosts. This is our second visit as we enjoyed our stay from last year so much. The property is very comfortable, has all the amenities, and the mountain views are magnificent. Captain Tony is extremely helpful, offering great recommendations for both dining out and sightseeing. We brought our dog, Sophie, and Tony gave us good recommendations for hikes and restaurants that allowed us to include her.
