The Lazy Moose was a little gem in the mountains. No stone left unturned. Once you come though the gates you are welcomed my the cutest donkey which our 5 yr old loved. He was a vocal friend for sure. Then when you arrived at the cabin the front porch was welcoming and the kids loved all of the outdoor games! The inside was clean and perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook great meals for the weekend- even snacks to help hold over the kids the first night. The puzzles were fun at night and the fire pit was perfect sized. Our middle daughter loved exploring the grounds and found all kinds of nature to take home! The beds and pillows were comfortable. The couches were too. The TVs were only used late at night when everyone was winding down. This cabin was close to the park which we loved and spent a few days hiking. Overall this was a wonderful cabin and the hosts were easy to work with.
Very clean, lovely cabin- right off the interstate so a bit of a drive to anything. No trash service at all- you have to take your own trash to the dump- which is closed on Sunday- be warned if you are a weekend guest with pets. Cabin itself is excellent, plenty of supplies and great views, peaceful area excellent for relaxing.
We had an wonderful relaxing getaway with our long time friends! The Propery manager was SUPER to work with...had a few questions on how Helene had affected thing! The town was incredibly welcoming!
My family came to Waynesville for a wedding but we decided to stay a week and make the most of the area. The cabin was a perfect place for my family and pups and like so many others said, it was well stocked. There was nothing I needed that wasnât in that cabin. The neighborhood was nice too and my kids loved the donkey at the gate of the community. Overall, the cabin was perfect for us and exactly what we needed. If we ever come back down, weâd definitely choose to stay here again.
This cabin is beautiful! The cleanliness was the best we have ever seen! The house had everything we needed and more. The porch was so relaxing!!! Comfy beds, great decor and furniture. The only feedback would be the porch doesnt have a gate for four legged members of the family so be sure to bring a baby gate or something to block that exit point.
A great, warm, cozy little cabin that was the perfect size for a family of 4 plus 2 dogs. Very pet friendly with the fenced backyard. The location was central to many hiking destinations as well as Catalochee ski area. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again. A gate would be a great addition to the front porch to keep in pets and small children. Thank you for the perfect winter getaway!
Superclean home in a great wooded setting. Had everything we needed. All we brought was food. Private firepit area in back with fenced in yard which was perfect for our 2 small pugs. No maintenance issues at all. 5star.
The house was perfect. Well equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay. Up to date modern appliances. Master bath was large and very clean. Could use a porch gate if you have a pet otherwise you will need to improvise to keep your pet on the big wrap around porch. Back area where fire pit is located is fenced so no worries about your pet leaving.
We stayed here for our honeymoon. Could not ask for a better place. I have never stayed somewhere that was stocked with so many amenities. We only had to buy food items. The added touch of the ornament was so thoughtful as it will be our first Christmas ornament together. We didn't have the kids with us, but everything was included for any child of any age. We will stay again, thank you for having us.
Sparkling clean, maintained and stocked. Close to Maggie Valley. Loved the floorplan and deck with corn hole and connect four. Houses around but still private. We loved the sweet donkey at the entrance. He greeted us everytime. We wished the Wi-Fi was stronger. Couldnât make calls or watch TV but house was stocked with tons of DVDs. The sweet ornament was appreciated and will be a memory to last a lifetime. Love this place!!!
My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend stay at this cabin. It was extremely clean and so comfortably furnished that it truly felt like "home" after a day of hiking and adventuring. The kitchen was well stocked and was a great space for us to cook in. The location of the cabin was perfect for our trips to Pisgah National Forest, Catalouchee Valley, and Maggie Valley. We love traveling with our pet and appreciated the ease of bringing her along on this trip. The drive into this secluded mountain neighborhood and cabin was surely exciting for this Michigan native, but my AWD SUV handled the steep mountain and driveway just fine and it got easier each time. The cabin was felt very private despite being close to two other homes. We hope to return one day to explore more waterfalls in the area. Highly recommend!
We stayed at this log cabin with our dog for four nights. I probably wouldn't choose to stay here again, but mostly due to personal preferences. The pros: the cabin is very spacious with nice, comfortable places to gather. We enjoyed playing the provided board games and the gas fireplace. The property is quite private, surrounded by trees, with birds flittering about and fresh clean mountain air. The queen bed in the second bedroom was very comfortable (nice and firm). Folks who like a very soft bed will love the King bed in the master. Both bathrooms were very nice. Good coffee options with a drip and a Keurig.
The cons: Although the kitchen is large, it is mostly stocked with cheap teflon pots and pans. I'd have brought our own if I'd known. There rest of the provided supplies were fine though. We were there in October, during absolutely gorgeous sunny fall weather, but there was nowhere on the property to sit and enjoy the sun at any time during the day. The shape of the house and the steep and deep covered porches make everything inside and outside the house very dark (at least in mid-October). The backyard was completely shady all day and is the size of a small courtyard with mostly gravel and a very small section of grass along the edge. Sitting up above one of the main gravel roads in the community, the traffic noise was considerable as more people came up for the weekend.
The hosts were always quick to respond and made the check-in and check-out process very easy.
