Perfect cabin

We've been coming to Maggie Valley for several years and usually stay in local motels. We opted to stay in a cabin this time and Camelle offered the perfect choice. So clean and the bed was extremely comfortable Loved the location! Beautiful views and even got to see elk grazing in the pasture across the street. We will definitely use Camelle for our next trip!

Awesome place to stay

This was our 2nd time to stay at Chestnut Lodge and again, it did not disappoint. The cabin is immaculate, beds are comfortable, and it is stocked with all necessary items for an incredible visit. Elk viewing is amazing and the panoramic scenery is beautiful. Plan to come again at earliest opportunity.

Precious time with family

This beautiful cabin was exactly as described. The kitchen was well equipped, the bedrooms spacious, and the living area comfortable. The beautiful, massive Elks roaming around was a real treat. The location was walking distance to the main street, which had plenty of restaurants and shops to visit. The Chestnut Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful Smoky Mountains and close enough to many other attractions. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back.

Great cabin and perfect location

Chestnut Lodge was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Everything you need for perfect vacation is here. From this location we ate and made shopping trips in Maggie Valley, Waynesville, Cherokee, and Bryson City where we rode first class on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. The elk viewings are great plus.

Wonderful home away from home

We've stayed in Maggie Valley at least a dozen times and this place was our favorite!! EVERYTHING was clean and the decor was so welcoming. The kitchen is fully stocked and the TV actually had cable or satellite which we appreciated. We especially enjoyed the rocking chairs on the deck as we watched the cows (and some elk) in the pasture as well as the mountain views all around. Thank you Camelle (and Julie)! We will definitely be back in the near future.

Chestnut Lodge is all about relaxation

The property is exactly as described and it's designed for comfort and relaxation. Outside temp felt like single digits when we arrived but we stayed toasty in the house. The strategically placed ottoman in the loft provided lots of awesome scenic views. I will definitely plan a return trip.

Peaceful Respite

Chestnut Lodge is a beautiful cabin in Maggie Valley with stunning views of the mountains. We saw a number of elk which was an added treat. The cabin was spotless with every amenity you could imagine. The cabin was decorated beautifully and truly felt like a home away from home. My husband was recovering from a hospital stay and this respite was just what the doctor ordered. Camelle is a wonderful hostess, making sure all needs are met! I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a vacation in the mountains!

Made our trip extra special!

Thank you so much for sharing your place with us Camelle! Your cabin was just as it looked online and even better. My whole family felt right at home immediately. We loved seeing the elk in the neighborhood and being so close to so many restaurants and attractions. We enjoyed Joey’s Pancake House, Bearwaters Brewery and Brickhouse Burgers & Pizza. We also met up with friends to go snow tubing at Tube World and everything was super close.

We love Chestnut Lodge!

We love everything about Chestnut Lodge! It’s located in a very peaceful community which makes for a relaxing vacation. The cabin is beautifully furnished with all the amenities of home. We also loved watching the rabbits, ground hogs, and elk in the early mornings and late evenings! Camelle is wonderful hostess and made sure we had everything we needed which made for a stress free vacation.
