MOUNTAIN JOY COTTAGES #10- BIG BEAR

Mountain Joy Cottage #10, Big Bear, is decorated in a bear theme. This romance cottage is equipped with a jacuzzi tub.

Originally the homestead of Maggie Setzer, for whom Maggie Valley was named, the land that Mountain Joy sits is a special place. You will become enchanted with it’s mountain charm, family atmosphere and character. We offer all the modern conveniences you would expect with the year-round access and seclusion that very few can offer.

Enjoy the peaceful country setting of our cottages. We have one, two and four bedroom cottages all equipped with wood burning fireplaces, cable TV, internet and kitchens ready to cook a home made meal. Outside the porches have rocking chairs so you can enjoy your morning coffee or enjoy the sunset on the mountains in the evening. Our glass enclosed outdoor pool (seasonal) offers a delightful place to relax.

Mountain Joy Cottages are centrally located in the heart of Maggie Valley just one block up Setzer Cove Road with easy access to all of the area attractions. We are just minutes off of the Scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The area is loaded with craft, antique and gift shops. The great outdoors offers horseback riding, golf on area mountain courses, trout fishing in streams, white water rafting and scenic drives. Snow skiing and tubing is available for the entire family at Cataloochee Ski Area. Nightlife includes everything from Jazz to Bluegrass, clogging or dinner entertainment. Our cottages are just a short drive to the Great Smoky Mountain Railway, Asheville and The Biltmore Estate, Cherokee and the Indian Reservation and Harrah’s Casino and historic downtown Waynesville.

Whatever the season, Mountain Joy Cottages and the Great Smokies have something very special to offer. From the wildflowers of spring, to the blaze of colors in the fall or the serenity of winter, come visit and make lasting memories at Mountain Joy Cottages.

This is our second time in this unit. Very quiet location on the pond. Very nice location for a couples weekend getaway. Enjoyed the hot tub and comfortable bed. Wood burning fireplace is a nice touch as well. Bring your own food, as there isn't a good reliable restaurant in Maggie Valley. Unit was very clean upon arrival.

Our two night stay was wonderful. This was our second time staying in this cabin. The cabin was clean. There were plenty of linens. We enjoyed being lazy and sitting around the fireplace. The bed was comfy and extra pillows and blankets were provided.The office staff were kind when we arrived. We can't wait to stay again 😊

Great cabin getaway
It was our second time staying here & we very much enjoyed our time. Prior to our trip, we did message the property managers asking questions but never received any answers. The cabin was very clean except for some dirty dishes & cutlery (dried food, etc) that we had to clean ourselves before they could be used. Suggestions would be to upgrade the blinds so that all could be opened (missing parts) & microwave to higher power model. Refrigerator also could be upgraded for a more aesthetically pleasing vibe (it looked like ALOT of mold on the outside of the fridge). Overall, we enjoyed our stay & hope to return in the future!

The cabin was sweet, perfect size for a couple.……the furniture was impossible to get comfortable in, wifi service was poor, there are cracks in the walls to the outside and the fireplace didn’t have a good draw.

Beautiful place. Enjoyed drinking my morning coffee on the porch seeing the pond and ducks. This morning we saw two Elks that came right up to the back porch where we were. Enjoyed the hot tub. We will definitely be back.

Great place and great location!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Close to many attractions and restaurants. I personally loved the ducks, they would come visit in the morning and when we got back at the end of the day. We enjoyed feeding them each day.

Cozy Cabin
The cabin and the area is beautiful. The cabin was clean and tastefully decorated. There were only two metal clothes hangers available in the closet and the three spare bed pillows had no pillowcases. The pillows on the bed need to be replaced. There is no dresser to store clothing. I enjoyed watching the ducks while having coffee in the morning. A cow elk walked past one evening. I hope to return next year.

Don't even have to go out to see Elk
When we arrived on Friday we were greeted by a visiting Elk and daily visited by resident ducks. The place is quiet, cozy and perfect for couples. Only real complaint is the lack of hot water. It started off fine but ran out quick. Couldn't fill the hot tub without running out.

Relaxing Atmosphere
The cottage/cabin was really nice and just the right size for me and my husband. Full kitchen with everything you need. I always take my K-cup coffee maker and a big frying pan. But they also had one there. The bed was and living room furniture was comfortable. The jacuzzi was really nice facing the fireplace and tv. The shower had great water pressure. The deck was totally amazing facing the trout pond with several ducks that would come up to be feed. Mountain view was amazing and outside was kept up very neat. I also loved the elk that would come by daily. They were truly amazing. The grounds had several apple tree's all the animals would go to and eat. It had a big enclosed swimming pool. I can't wait to go back. This was the best vacation ever. It was so relaxing, enjoyable and exciting place I have ever been.
