Nature at Your Doorstep
One of the things that really bring out the best from the connection with nature in the Maggie Valley cabin is that it is so very close to nature itself. The daily or near-daily visits of local elk, which are the kings of the land this area belongs to and bring that little extra bit of wilderness magic to the otherwise quite peaceful and common stay at the cabin, are surely a treat to guests. This area is a paradise for those who love nature and the possibilities of watch wildlife, listening to the sounds of nature and taking a rest in the mountains are infinite. Large windows and outdoor spaces of the cabin make it impossible not to indulge into the Smoky Mountains’ breathtaking beauty, even if, for example, you are having a coffee at the deck or gazing at the stars under the clear night sky.
Explore the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Definitely the first place you should go from the cabin by car is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the USA and is, therefore, at the top of the list of places to see for any guest staying at the Maggie Valley cabin. Every year it attracts millions of visitors with its stunning and unique nature and rich cultural heritage. The park boasts over 500,000 acres of land, overshadowing the last vestiges of the ancient forests, the diverse flora and fauna, and remnants of southern Appalachian mountain culture. No matter the hiker’s experience level, he will be able to find the right trail in the park. The rewards are different for every season in each trail.
In winter, the lack of leaves results in the revealing of new views, stone walls, and old chimneys that are remnants of the first settlers. Spring displays a lively array of wildflowers, with the earliest blooms appearing in February and continuing through April. Summer is a time for the cool and fresh mountain forest walks and the outdoor showers in the waterfalls. Come autumn, the park is a kaleidoscope of crimson, orange, and yellow, hence, a perfect time for leaf-peeping. No matter at what time you go, the park’s 800 miles of trails will be there to let you explore as much as you want and discover new things.
A Haven for Wildflower Enthusiasts
One of the main reasons the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is so famous is the variety of wildflowers that can be found there. It has over 1,500 different kinds of flowering plants, more than any other national park in North America. The wildflower blooms come in a continuous cycle so that the park is never not colorful from late winter to early fall. The season is initiated with the help of spring ephemerals, such as hepaticas and spring beauties, which appear from February to April, then go back to dormancy by early summer. These fragile flowers use the short moment of sunshine before the forest cover grows, thus, making a beautiful display, which is a major attraction of botanists and ordinary visitors too.
Modern Comforts in a Rustic Setting
The house is a rustically beautiful cabin that is decorated with luxurious furniture and also keeps everyone in mind. The two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms in the house make it a perfect place for a family that consists of six members. The indoor section with an open floor plan is the living area that makes it the most attractive section for the guests, with the decorated furniture and big glass doors that give the paddocks to the gorgeous mountain views you can see.
Everything you need for your great event is at the cabin; a good kitchen with a stove and a household kitchen are just some of the things that come with the property. The home offers a beautiful natural setting with plenty of room to sit down, relax and enjoy nature whether you’re having an excellent dinner on the deck or if you want to come home after a day’s hike and just breathe the fresh air. You will be very lucky to have access to the entire area and still not feel like you are missing out on the calmness this sanctuary offers.
