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!

Great views and location away from the big city!
What a beautiful place to just relax on the porch with a scenic view or explore a great area of The Smokey Mountains. Tony and Nancy are great hosts and make you feel like you are home. Beautiful location and the cabin is clean, cozy, and has everything you need for your stay. We will definitely want to come stay again.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Wonderful Stay
This is one our best VRBO stays and our first visit to the area. Qualla cabin was immaculate and centrally located to all areas of interest. Easy drive to Great Smokey Mtn. National Park, Waynesville, Gatlinburg and Blue Ridge Parkway. We greatly enjoyed watching evening sunsets while sitting on the porch. Views of the mountains from the porch are magnificent. Capt. Tony and wife, Nancy, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They provided superb recommendations on places to visit. Thank you, Capt. Tony and Nancy for making our stay so enjoyable. Our dog, Sophie, also thanks you.

Amazing Mountain Retreat!
Nothing but great things to say about our getaway here! One of the cleanest and prettiest rentals I've EVER stayed at - seriously spotless! Beautiful mountain views, close to everything in the mountains we wanted to do and just a beautiful property. Did a day trip to Cherokee, a day trip to Chataloochie and a half day trip to Waynesville - saw some giant elk the first 2 places and some great food and beers in Waynesville. If you're thinking about booking here and want a relaxing and beautiful place to go to in the mountains - do it! Also it's very hard to find a pet-friendly rental that's this nice - our dog loved it as well and was very comfortable too! Thank you for being pet-friendly for us people that love to travel with our dogs! Will definitely be back to Qualla Cabin.

A great stay with plenty of solitude
The owners were wonderful people and very welcoming. Everything was labeled to minimize questions, the instructions on how to get there were easy to understand, and there are plenty of activities. We were able to make it with a FWD vehicle with no issues. Don't trust the GPS, always listen to the captain. We didn't have pets, so we had no worries in that department. There's plenty to entertain you if you decide to stay in and the view is spectacular! We will be back.

A little piece of heaven
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!!!

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!

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.

Beyond Blown Away!
We couldn't have been happier with Capt. Tony and Nancy's hospitality during our visit; very kind and always willing to suggest places to visit. Place was absolutely stunning, both the views and the property itself. Photos on VRBO don't do it justice (how could they?!), nevertheless, we couldn't get over how beautiful everything was put together inside the property. Well thoughtout and cozy. We can't wait to come back during the winter to see the snow! Only problem we dealt with was letting out the dogs, as there were many places to let them out. Minor inconvenience, but that goes with having dogs! Thanks Tony and Nancy!!! The Mitchells

6 out of 5 stars for this little piece of Heaven!
Friends, I can not begin to tell you how perfect the stay at Qualla Cabin was for me and my girlfriend this past weekend! Capt. Tony and Nancy are incredible hosts and even better people! The cabin itself was immaculate! Quite possibly the cleanest and most comfortable place either of us have ever stayed at! As others have reviewed, the pictures do no justice for the incredible views you’ll have from your porch, nor all the friendly little critters that will share the yard with you! Location wise, they are pretty much central to anything and everything you would want to do while vacationing in the mountains. This truly is a “little piece of Heaven” for anyone who wants to relax and enjoy a beautiful and peaceful environment. Who knows there may even be an impromptu guitar singalong on the porch! Thanks again to our gracious hosts Captain Tony and Nancy for helping make our getaway so wonderfully memorable! We will be back to see you guys again! Sincerely, Chris and Wanda

Perfect Vacation
The pictures do not do this cabin justice. We were welcomed by our host Tony and wife Nancy and their 2 cute mini schnauzers Sophie and Marlin! When I entered the cabin it took my breath away the kitchen, bathroom and living area were decorated was absolutely beautiful the lay out is SPACIOUS! The decor was fitting for the cabin! And the bed was very cozy. Didn’t need anything but you’re own food they had thought of everything! We grilled out bananas boats and shared them with Tony and Nancy plus great conversation! We were treated more like old friends than guests! Every morning chipmunks, baby rabbits and a gopher greeted me as I sat looking at the sunrise drinking coffee on the back porch! The sunsets are spectacular and breath taking! WE WILL BE BACK! This is now our #1 vacation spot and will recommend our friends to try it out! Tony and Nancy thank you again for making our Anniversary stay tranquil and sharing your beautiful home with us! See you soon

Amazing views, wildlife, close to park
We loved our stay at Qualla Cabin, with it's great view of the Plott Balsam mountain range. The sunsets were spectacular (and we hear the sunrises are, too, but the bed was so comfy, we slept too late to see them😉)! We appreciated how close the cabin is to the parkway and the GSMNP, which we drove through nearly every day, and that it also is an easy drive to Waynesville and Bryson City, and very close to Cherokee, though we didn't spend any time there. We have been in the Maggie Valley area several times but visited the Deep Creek area near Bryson City and did the waterfall hikes this visit, which we enjoyed a lot. While we went all over the park, the Deep Creek area was far less populated on the trails near the Road to Nowhere. The location is also an easy drive to Asheville...we made an enjoyable day trip to visit friends. Owner Tony's restaurant recs were great. We especially enjoyed the Sweet Onion and Pappas and Beer in Waynesville Tony and Nancy are good humans who genuinely care about the quality of your stay. Their passion for hospitality is evidenced by the warm, cosy, attentively decorated studio space you'll be staying in...small but well laid out, great for two people and carefully designed to maximize comfort. Wild turkey and other birds were abundant and the weather was perfect for us. Felt like the ideal time of year to be there. Thanks, Tony and Nancy!
