Amazing views & comfortable accommodations
Overall, Eagle Ridge Maggie Valley was a great place to stay. The house is nice and comfortable. The views from the deck are amazing. If clear, star gazing is fantastic. There’s a fire pit on the deck, which was a little worrisome with the variable winds and embers potentially landing on the wooden deck. I’d suggest bringing some dry wood as the wood provided was damp and very smoky while burning. The house was clean upon arrival but we were inundated by swarms of ladybugs, some stink bugs, and some yellow jackets that made their way into the house. Not much the host can do about that- just goes with the territory. Just be aware you might need to vacuum up some bugs. The vacuum provided was full of dirt and debris and sort of smelled musty upon use. But, it got the job done. My son and I hiked down to one of the nearby creeks. A bit slippery with wet leaf fall, so be careful. Down is always easier, hiking back up is pretty exhausting unless you’re are a fit 19 year old like my son! Ha! There is one other residence nearby but nobody occupied that house during our stay, so it was very quiet. The other house seems well taken care of. It would have been impossible to reach the house without a 4 wheel drive vehicle had the road been snowy or more wet. Wet leaves and mud made part of the trip scary. It rained the last night and we had difficulty making it out with a front wheel drive vehicle. Not a deal breaker, just be prepared for white knuckles. 😀
