’Villa l’Abri’: Magical Maggie Valley Escape!

• Terrible Driveway & Not Elderly Friendly

  1/5

  My family and I stayed at this cabin for 3 days and when we first arrived, we were not prepared for the steep driveway. We came for a car show, and we were met with a gravel steep driveway. We attempted to go up but ended up getting our car stuck and eventually called a tow truck. Every other driveway was paved but this rental. As well as this, the stairs up to the cabin were very steep and since my wife and I are elders, we did not expect this and had a hard time getting up. We are very disappointed as none of this was on the original listing for the cabin. I ended up ruining my car and had a hard time just getting into the cabin.

  Hi Philip, we're sorry to hear that the driveway and stairs posed challenges during your stay. After reviewing your feedback with the homeowner, they wanted to share the following details:
  - We take our listing accuracy seriously, and we use professional photography for the home, so the features you see on the listing are accurately advertised. The listing photos show the driveway and front steps to give guests a clear idea of the layout before booking.
  - For additional transparency, we send a pre-arrival email detailing the driveway’s steep, gravel surface along with a video guide for navigation. This email was sent prior to your arrival.
  - The property is situated at 3,500 feet, which contributes to the driveway’s slope, and many guests have successfully navigated it, including elderly visitors.
  Thank you for letting us know about your experience. We understand this setup may not work for everyone, and we’ll keep your feedback in mind as we continue to improve the guest experience.

  5/5

  We loved our brief stay. Our kids met us and we all agreed it felt like “home”. We enjoyed the fireplace and comfy atmosphere. The property was extremely clean and tidy. All the amenities made our stay relaxing. We enjoy cooking together and played dominos. Great stay.

• Amazing Cabin

  5/5

  We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The cabin offers the most amazing views! Very nice outdoor setting with the fireplace and grill. Inside of cabin is very nicely stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The owner, Kathy, was very accommodating as our trip had to be prolonged due to automobile issues. We look forward to returning in the fall when the leaves are at peak color. Overall, one of the best cabins we have ever rented.
