Awesome place!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic home! Well-equipped, too, with stuff you wouldn't expect to find in a rental - super clean Weber grill, Boll & Branch bedding throughout, a pullout sofa that rivals many standalone mattresses, etc. Hot tub was ready to go, TVs were easy to figure out, refrigerator was super clean. The road up isn't the easiest in a minivan, but it's July. We'll be back!

Christmas in the Mountains
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our stay at Wings of Dawn in the Smoky Mountain Retreat Community. The home was full of accomodations, including a beautiful kitchen with updated appliances. The view was unimaginable and one of the prettiest I have seen staying in a mountain cabin. The cabin also came fully stoked not only with kitchen necessities but also with plenty of extra blankets and pillows for those cold nights, as well as puzzles and a few games for family time. We loved staying here and did not want to leave to return home!

Sunrise at the Wings of Dawn
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wings of Dawn has one of the best sunrise views available on the mountain - however, the owner needs to do some tree trimming!! The master bed mattress could be replaced and the sofa bed downstairs is not the best. The rental management company is excellent - it answers all calls and fixes all problems to the best of its ability (sometimes depending on the owners)All in all - it was a great vacation.

Christmas Stay 2021
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been renting cabins for the holidays with Smoky Mountain Retreat for 20 years now. This was our 3rd stay at Wings of Dawn. Our prior stay here was in November of 2018. Apparently the home was sold since then and has a new owner. The difference was evident in that there was less in the way of decor. It just felt different, and less than. This was the first time we spent Christmas in Maggie Valley. We typically come for the week of Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, we had several issues during our stay this time. The dishwasher did not work, and although eventually repaired, we had no use of it for 1/2 the stay. The ice/water dispenser on the fridge did not work and was never repaired during our stay. The indoor gas fireplace stoped working after the 2nd day of our stay and required a part that was not available, so we were unable to use it again. Our stay was for 8 nights and we were only able to light it for 2 of those days. This was especially disappointing as it was Christmas, and it’s one of the main features and draws to renting a mountain cabin for the holidays. There was no propane in the tank for the BBQ and once reported to management, they did send someone, but the tank delivered was not full. The condition of the BBQ is extremely concerning. The flame tamers are all rusted out which caused the flames to uncontrollably shoot upward. The BBQ was filthy and I would recommend replacing the whole thing. Management was very professional, and responsive. I understand they can only do so much. I would recommend that the owners make the investment in new appliances and sprucing up the decor. Also, fully aware it’s their cabin to do as they wish, I would still recommend not placing personal family photos around the home. If I’m renting it and want it to feel like MY home for the rental period, seeing pictures of strangers all around ruins that perception. The view is still breathtaking from this home. It will always have that!

Beautiful Views!!
We loved our stay at Wings of Dawn. The view from this cabin is breathtaking! The cabin was well stocked and very clean! Our only issue was the pull out bed in the basement. It’s an air mattress not a real pull out bed and it doesn’t hold air. Fortunately there was a separate functioning air mattress in the closet so management must have known the couch pullout is broken. A couple of our kids used the air mattress while the adults and younger kids used the beds upstairs and on the main level. The property description should be updated though. The property will not comfortably sleep 8 unless the couch pull out in the basement is replaced. Most families are not expecting to sleep on an air mattress when they spend $$$/night on a short term rental cabin. Besides the bed issue we would highly recommend this cabin!
Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2021

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a amazing stay. The house is very clean, well decorated and has everything you need. It was cool while we were there so we enjoyed both the indoor and out door fire places. The porch's are such a nice outdoor space. The furniture is great. There are three bird feeders which were a nice treat. In the mornings we would lay in bed and watch the sunrise while watching all the birds being so active, Nice treat.We had a couple small issues which we shared with Jessica at SMRR and she is always awesome and gets to work on them right away.

Beautiful view
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view was the best part of the house. We enjoyed the deck and spent most of our time outside. The house and furnishings are a little dated. We stayed for three weeks and dealing with an uncomfortable bed became an issue. This place, in my opinion, is better suited for shorter stays.

We spend most of our time here on the deck with the most stunning views that we’ve ever experienced in that area. We had a fire in the outdoor fireplace every night. The outdoor furniture was amazing and plentiful! We only went out to dinner one night because we wanted to dine outside on the deck! We will absolutely rent here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Wings of Dawn to celebrate my Mom's 75th birthday and we were not disappointed. It was as beautiful as the pictures on-line and came well stocked with every thing you need for an enjoyable stay. Directions were provided for using everything from TV to fireplace to light switches etc. which took out the guess work and was very user friendly. There was a cozy atmosphere as it was decorated so thoughtfully maintaining the mountain cabin feel. We had an excellent time and there was plenty of room for all of us to have our own space. The only regret is that we could not stay longer.
