Please visit us at 'A World Apart Rentals'. If you see our property listed on ANY other website (i.e. ends in 'list') be aware of fraud & scams!

“A World Apart” is not your typical bare provisioned rental property locked away in a subdivision overlooking more houses than views. Its location was selected and the home painstakingly built by our family to take advantage of the best of Maggie Valley and Western North Carolina. The care and attention to detail is visible throughout.

NOTE: Our home is located at 4000' elevation in the mountains and is NOT easily accessible by motorcycle. The last 1/4 mile to the cabin is a single lane, gravel/dirt road that does a couple of switchbacks. Four wheel drive is HIGHLY recommended especially in the wintertime, but typically a two wheel drive/front wheel drive vehicle is sufficient. Even though our property has plenty of parking and room for cars, trucks and trailers, arriving by motorcycle will be up to the comfort level of the driver and may not be suitable for every rider.

Nestled on 6 secluded acres of Soco Mountain, our home offers a Romantic Oasis for Couples or the perfect Retreat for Families. Relax on the Wrap-Around Porch and unwind while enjoying the scenery and listening to the persistent harmony of the Creek winding through the valley below. If you’re still and quiet, some of the neighborhood hummingbirds might visit and perhaps even an owl or two will announce the arrival of dusk.

The downstairs of our home features a magnificent Stone Fireplace towering over the living room, Cable HDTV with DVD, broad-plank hardwood floors, sofa & loveseat, slate bathroom with Antique Claw-Foot Tub and walk-in shower. The Queen Bedroom features a large armoire, Cable TV/DVD/VCR, and its own door leading to the hot tub. A fully-equipped and well-stocked kitchen with slate countertops and peninsula bar in addition to the dining table for six offers plenty of seating and amenities for your family gathering. Screen doors and windows allow for Mother Nature's ventilation and the sounds of the wilderness without being visited by it.

Upstairs the loft features a pool table and French Doors that open onto a Covered Porch complete with a hammock. The Tin-Roofed Porch plays an unforgettably soothing melody on drizzly afternoons.

In the Master Suite, unwind in the slate-surround Jacuzzi Tub while gazing out at the mountainside Cable HDTV with DVD invites you to just lounge in the pillow-top King Bed watching a movie. The French Doors from the Master open onto a Large Private Balcony that is the perfect place to enjoy the morning’s first cup of coffee.

For those who still feel the need to keep in touch with the outside world, free wireless internet is provided. Please note that this service is wireless only so you'll have to have a wireless enabled computer to use the free service.

Wrap-around porches complete with rockers, swings, Adirondack chairs, charcoal grill and (our family’s favorite) a secluded hot tub for 6 are really why you vacation in the mountains.

On adventuresome days, you’re a short walk to cascading waterfalls and only a few minutes drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Ghost Town in the Sky, the Cataloochee Ski Resort, Cherokee and Harrah’s Casino. A late afternoon trek to see the Elk in Cataloochee Valley is a must do and in little more than 30 minutes you can be enjoying the Biltmore Estate in Asheville or the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad in Bryson City.

We welcome you to be our guests and find out what makes our home 'A World Apart!' However, don't just take our word for it. Our previous guests comments are the best editorial of what you can expect.

Weekend Getaway
My husband and I were looking for a trip away from the noise of our day to day lives. Its been 18 years since we have gone anywhere without kids, etc. This was the perfect getaway. The cabin was perfect, we spent a lot of lazy time there. We did go explore in Cherokee and Maggie Valley 1 day. We did some hiking around the property. Lots to see and beautiful views. I wish we would have booked our stay longer. We will definitely be back again.

Great home
Cabin was great but keep in mind if you do not have 4 wheel drive you will have difficulty getting to it. We most likely would have had to change properties if we didn’t. Outside of cabin could use some tlc, it’s a-bit over grown but the inside is where you fall in love! Very well stocked with just about everything you need. Hot tub was great and the fire pit outside was a relaxing evening. Thanks so much for a well needed vacation. Overall the cabin was great!

A World Apart
We would have given everything 5 stars except for the computer lock did not work and both coffee pots did not work, so we left them a gift. Overall though the property was just what we needed, quiet and secluded. The home was very well stocked, the hot tub was perfect, the stars were gorgeous. Would definitely recommend to anybody, families, couples, newlyweds and romantics.

Maggie Valley Cabin
Cabin was in a lovely secluded location but very difficult to drive up to, four wheel drive would be recommended. Amenities as described, nice big fireplace, hot tub, nice porches, pool table although pool cues all missing the tips so not really usable. Cabin was orderly but could have been cleaner. Dishes were in the dish washer but still had food stuck to them, downstairs floors not clean esp. in the back bedroom. Cabin was cozy and cute, we did enjoy our stay.

Lovely cabin!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this quiet and secluded cabin. The wood-burning fireplace was great, but the chimney may need cleaning as the entire cabin smelled smoky. There is also a problem with mice. We found a dead mouse in the kitchen/den upon arrival and saw another mouse/mice in the den a few times during our stay. There is a gap between the fireplace and the exterior wall that had aluminum foil wedged in place to seal it off, but it did not prevent the mouse/mice from slipping in and out. I understand that when there are woods, there are critters. Other than that, we really enjoyed the cabin.

Our stay
Property was beautiful but foliage was overgrown. Bed appeared slept in and dirty on arrival and towels had stains on them. No robes were provided as mentioned. Dryer door didn’t open without prying with a knife. Hot tub maint. gentleman visited because he didn’t know we were there. Couldn’t get contact with property manager until day of trip but was very helpful once we made contact. Overall a positive experience but the property could use some TLC

Mountain Birthday
We arrived Monday, April 3rd, you suggested a 4WD, how correct are you! We did make it up the mountain with front wheel drive with some spinning, but well worth it. We traveled to Waynesville to pick up supplies Tuesday, than explored the property. Wednesday, Cherokee, a tourist trap, but a fun day after all. Thursday, Happy 70th birthday, we play around the house calling local birds. We saw a Barred Owl, Red Tail Hawk, Piliated Woodpecker, and many smaller birds. Friday and Saturday was cold and stormy so we stayed inside to play games. All in all, very relaxing as planned.

Sweet cabin
The cabin was sweet but the location was not what we expected. The drive to the house was treacherous and there was no view of mountains from the cabin. Master bed mattress needs to be replaced and previous renter hid their garbage in the unclean fireplace. Also 2 of 4 bathrobes were missing. Eitherwise clean and very nice livingroom area. Not a fan of the vacant hornets nest but no issues.

Very quiet and secluded
One of the best cabins that we’ve stayed in. The owners are very responsive to messages. Everything was clean and in order when we checked in and the hot tub was nice and warm. We spent the majority of our week at the cabin in front of the fire place or in the jacuzzi. If you’re a big guy like me be prepared to get creative taking a shower as they are a little tight, maybe a little bigger than a cruise ship, but the bathtubs more than make up for it. It is only a short drive in to Maggie Valley and Waynesville where we were able to do some antique shopping. Cherokee is only about thirty minutes away as well. The drive up the gravel road was a little sketchy at first but once we got used to it we didn’t have any issues. Definitely would recommend 4 wheel drive as stated in the listing. We will certainly stay again and will be recommending it to friends.

Driveway warning & cleanup list
The cabin was well set up and clean. But for the price there were some disappointments. It had an overwhelming campfire smell that permeated everything. Fridge was dirty. There should be better communication pre-booking about the drive and a 4wheel drive recommendation. Also, despite a hefty cleaning fee you charge, there is a list of cleaning required before you check out. Frustrating. Front porch light was out and entry was challenging without light and slippery steps. The pool table is slanted and ripped. +: Bed was comfy. Hot tub worked great. Host communication was friendly and responsive.

Update pictures
The pictures posted on the site are not updated. The property is extremely grown up around the house. There is no view. We did not use the fire pit. It looked like a fire hazzard. The outside of the house looks as if it has not been washed since it was built. The porch had not been swept or washed. Upon entering the home it smelled like a smoke house. It was dusty throughtout the house. It is way overpriced for the condition it is in. A lot of work needs to be done. This is not what i was expecting from the pictures that were posted.
