6 Secluded Acres/Hot Tub/Fire Pit/Wood Fireplace/Pool Table/Hammock/Pets OK

Please visit us at 'A World Apart Rentals'. If you see our property listed on ANY other website (i.e. ends in 'list') be aware of fraud & scams!

“A World Apart” is not your typical bare provisioned rental property locked away in a subdivision overlooking more houses than views. Its location was selected and the home painstakingly built by our family to take advantage of the best of Maggie Valley and Western North Carolina. The care and attention to detail is visible throughout.

NOTE: Our home is located at 4000' elevation in the mountains and is NOT easily accessible by motorcycle. The last 1/4 mile to the cabin is a single lane, gravel/dirt road that does a couple of switchbacks. Four wheel drive is HIGHLY recommended especially in the wintertime, but typically a two wheel drive/front wheel drive vehicle is sufficient. Even though our property has plenty of parking and room for cars, trucks and trailers, arriving by motorcycle will be up to the comfort level of the driver and may not be suitable for every rider.

Nestled on 6 secluded acres of Soco Mountain, our home offers a Romantic Oasis for Couples or the perfect Retreat for Families. Relax on the Wrap-Around Porch and unwind while enjoying the scenery and listening to the persistent harmony of the Creek winding through the valley below. If you’re still and quiet, some of the neighborhood hummingbirds might visit and perhaps even an owl or two will announce the arrival of dusk.

The downstairs of our home features a magnificent Stone Fireplace towering over the living room, Cable HDTV with DVD, broad-plank hardwood floors, sofa & loveseat, slate bathroom with Antique Claw-Foot Tub and walk-in shower. The Queen Bedroom features a large armoire, Cable TV/DVD/VCR, and its own door leading to the hot tub. A fully-equipped and well-stocked kitchen with slate countertops and peninsula bar in addition to the dining table for six offers plenty of seating and amenities for your family gathering. Screen doors and windows allow for Mother Nature's ventilation and the sounds of the wilderness without being visited by it.

Upstairs the loft features a pool table and French Doors that open onto a Covered Porch complete with a hammock. The Tin-Roofed Porch plays an unforgettably soothing melody on drizzly afternoons.

In the Master Suite, unwind in the slate-surround Jacuzzi Tub while gazing out at the mountainside Cable HDTV with DVD invites you to just lounge in the pillow-top King Bed watching a movie. The French Doors from the Master open onto a Large Private Balcony that is the perfect place to enjoy the morning’s first cup of coffee.

For those who still feel the need to keep in touch with the outside world, free wireless internet is provided. Please note that this service is wireless only so you'll have to have a wireless enabled computer to use the free service.

Wrap-around porches complete with rockers, swings, Adirondack chairs, charcoal grill and (our family’s favorite) a secluded hot tub for 6 are really why you vacation in the mountains.

On adventuresome days, you’re a short walk to cascading waterfalls and only a few minutes drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Ghost Town in the Sky, the Cataloochee Ski Resort, Cherokee and Harrah’s Casino. A late afternoon trek to see the Elk in Cataloochee Valley is a must do and in little more than 30 minutes you can be enjoying the Biltmore Estate in Asheville or the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad in Bryson City.

We welcome you to be our guests and find out what makes our home 'A World Apart!' However, don't just take our word for it. Our previous guests comments are the best editorial of what you can expect.

Fantastic cabin but very scary road

I stayed here with my 2 adult daughters October 23-25. The cabin was immaculate,very well equipped, and all features well maintained. The road to the cabin definitely required a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Amazing Vacation

Stayed in Maggie Valley for a week of fishing, hiking, and relaxing. The cabin was well situated and loved the remote feeling. Beds were comfortable and host was great at communicating. Highly recommend this as a get away spot. We were able to relax with our dog in the evenings at the fire pit after a day of exploring.

Peaceful

Enjoyed a quiet weekend getaway at this cabin. Morning coffee on the large porch was relaxing. We had no issues with anything and communication with the host was excellent. Driveway was steep as described, but we managed fine with our Camry and we ventured out every day. Would stay here again.

Quiet and relaxing

I read the owner's comments about the road/drive conditions and chose to drive my 4WD, for which I was grateful. Once we were there, it was very peaceful and quiet. A World Apart has lots of nice features that provide a relaxing getaway. (Hot tub, hammock, pool table, lot of porch spaces) Plenty to do within a short drive if that is your preference. Had a minor issue, but owner was very responsive and we got it resolved in short order. Would definitely stay again.

Ok - Not Exactly As Listed

Some quality checks need to be done. Property is a little run down in terms of things not working as advertised (coffee maker, electric fireplace, 2 of the 4 jets in hot tub) loveseat falling apart, pillows didn’t have properly fitting pillowcases, outdated welcome book inside house. I got the impression owners are not nearby when I asked question before arrival they stated they hadn’t been up there in awhile. The only solution offered when I complained about coffee maker not working was for us to go down mountain and purchase one for them to reimburse us. We woke up our final morning to no electricity or water and it took a couple hours for a response from owners. We made the best of all these issues and enjoyed our time there, but definitely would not rebook this particular property.

Weekend Getaway

My husband and I were looking for a trip away from the noise of our day to day lives. Its been 18 years since we have gone anywhere without kids, etc. This was the perfect getaway. The cabin was perfect, we spent a lot of lazy time there. We did go explore in Cherokee and Maggie Valley 1 day. We did some hiking around the property. Lots to see and beautiful views. I wish we would have booked our stay longer. We will definitely be back again.
