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.

YOU ARE RENTING THE DOWNSTAIRS at Qualla Cabin, which is located in a secluded mountain area 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 Golden 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!

Best place to stay by far!
This place was the cleanest and nicest place we’ve stayed at. Capt Tony and Nancy are two of the nicest people you’ll meet. The view from the cabin and property was absolutely stunning. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was all we had hoped for and more. We will definitely be back!

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!

Wonderful Second 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. Tony and his wife, Nancy, are incredibly gracious, and words can’t fully capture just how wonderful they are.

Where Perfection Only Gets Better
On the back side of Paradise and the foot of Heaven, you will find QUALLA CABIN! This was our second stay at Qualla and it was even better than the first, which was absolutely perfect! Capt. Tony and Nancy are incredible hosts and even better people who will make sure you want or need for nothing during your visit! The Cabin is perfectly secluded up in the mountains and travel to and from town is very easy. Without question, we will be back for a third time ASAP! If you’re looking for an amazing place to stay and enjoy yourself while in the mountains, THIS IS THE ONE!! Chris and Wanda

Its a Hidden Gem
Qualla Cabin is a hidden gem with a million dollar view. You can sit on the back patio and watch the sun rise and the sunset. Tony & Nancy are great hosts and make you feel very welcome. Qualla sits on the side of a mountain over looking the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin is perfect for your next vacation in the mountains. David & Mary

Great Weekend Getaway!
We were in for a long weekend getaway. The cabin was beautiful! It was clean and beautifully decorated. New appliances in the kitchen; a beautiful live edge countertop in the bathroom and a great gas heater in the living space. The cabin was well stocked. Books and games are available when you return back in from your sight seeing adventures. A warm shower with strong water pressure is a great end to a fun-filled day! Nice, comfortable bed and plenty of pillows gets you ready for a new adventure the next day. I would highly recommend a stay at Qualla Cabin.

Lovely Mountain Retreat!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Quallah Cabin with Capt. Tony and his wife, Nancy. Communication with the hosts was very clear and prompt. Getting to the cabin was easy, and we were able to take a route up the mountain that did not need 4-wheel drive. Inside, the cabin was very quiet and private feeling. The kitchen had everything you'd need to cook an easy meal and it was very well organized. I appreciated that they provided some decaf coffee packets. The view from the cabin was phenomenal and we enjoyed watching the sunset each evening. They had a nice porch with rocking chairs and a swing, and we were able to watch the birds on their bird feeder! Definitely a 5-star accommodation!

Awesome Experience 🍁🌄
Captain Tony and Nancy were incredible hosts. The cabin was not only clean, but well crafted and maintained. Not your typical vacation rental! This felt like you were staying at a luxury cabin. The view was 😍. Ample outdoor area and a cozy interior. Nice linens. We would loved to return and hang out with our hosts more but it’s a ten-hour drive. We won’t forget our visit.

Very nice cabin with great woodworking and stonework. Everything you will need to enjoy your stay has been included in the cabin. The back porch view is absolutely amazing! Very close to many wonderful locations and attractions. Tony and Nancy were great hosts and will be able to help you with any activities or sites you might want to see. Just a few that we really enjoyed: Walking around Cherokee, Elk Herd @ Oconaluftee, Barber Orchid, Waynesville, Maggie Valley and of course the Smoky Mountain Dog Bakery! Great cabin, great time in the area. Highly recommend to others

Fall getaway in the Smoky Mountains
Captain Tony was very attentive. The property was super clean and cozy. My wife and I along with our pup stayed for three nights while visiting friends in Waynesville. The views from the property are spectacular and the location is secluded. I loved the location, but I would caution those without four wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles. We have a pickup and had no issues, but it could be tricky for a rear wheel drive only vehicle. All in all a great trip!

Perfect Getaway
Property is immaculate and the views from the porch are amazing. The owners are very nice with great recommendations on adventures available in the area. We visit the Maggie Valley area several times a year and they told us about nearby areas that we never knew about. Will definitely be staying there again. Location is great for heading to Cherokee, NC or the opposite way to Maggie Valley/ Waynesville. Also, cabin is right by Blue Ridge Parkway entrance.

Breathtaking sunsets and seclusion
Qualla Cabin is a short distance from a highway, yet a world apart from every day. The property has miles of views, yet no homes or roads spoil the view. All one can see is trees, sky, and birds. The sunsets are amazing; the privacy is perfection. The cabin is new, with modern appliances and amenities, yet homey and warm. Captain Tony and Nancy will feel like friends you've known for years. Come get away from the hustle and bustle and recharge your soul.

Qualla Cabin may just rank as one of the most beautiful and serene vacation cabins available. The view from the large porch surrounded by birdsong and hummingbirds enhances the tranquil setting. The rockers added to the ambiance. The rustic decor of the cabin’s interior is a reminder of the location up in the mountains. It is perfectly appointed for 2 guests, and even a dog! The hosts are very friendly and helpful in suggesting places to go and things to do. Tony and Nancy are present if needed but do not interfere with your own time. My little dog enjoyed exploring and felt she owned the place after our 2 week stay. The location is away from the busy-ness of Maggie Valley, while convenient to its businesses and restaurants. The location is just a daytrip away from most of western North Carolina’s varied attractions.

STOP LOOKING AT OTHER VRBOs this place is perfect. The photos do not do it justice!!! Fantastic hosts (Captain Tony & Nancy) communication was fast and in-depth and both were extremely friendly. Sophie and Merlyn (furry babies) were delightful. The cabin is spotlessly clean, well equipped everything you will need. The views are out of this world, mountains, trees and sunsets!!!! Peaceful with nothing but the sounds of nature to listen to. The home is soundproofed so you don’t hear a thing when you are indoors. Thank you for an amazing stay!!!
