Wonderful place to stay with the best host in the valley!
We’ve vacationed in the Maggie Valley/Waynesville area for the last 13 years. With every stay we try to hone in on a little better location every time. Well, we’ve found it. Beautiful place, everything was perfect and we saw elk every day! To top it off, the host was so responsive and helpful it’s as tho she’s been a family friend for years! Totally awesome trip and we will be back time and time again! Nothing negative to say at all, only thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Amazing cabin, amazing area!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at blackberry lodge. The cabin was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Mountain views all around the cabin and if you wake up early (7am or earlier) you’ll see all the elk out in the meadow! This place is great and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful cabin!
We had a truly amazing stay at Blackberry Lodge! The cabin was extremely clean and had everything you need. Having the two separate living areas was a bonus we aren’t used to in a cabin rental and we loved it! Every morning and evening we had so much fun viewing the elk on the wrap around porch; several evenings we rushed back to the cabin because the kids didn’t want to miss the elk! We will definitely be back.

Great Place in Maggie Valley
Our stay at the BlackBerry Lodge in Maggie Valley was everything we hoped it would be. The place was spotless, fully stocked, provided 360 degree mountain view’s, had Elk sightings as close as 100 feet from the wraparound porch, close proximity to many sights and was very peaceful and relaxing for us. We would love to extend our stay, but have a commitment in Sugar Mountain for a birthday celebration.

The cabin was simply fantastic !!
on the first morning I looked out the kitchen window and watched the Elk lumber by, lots of pictures. The main floor and kitchen were spacious and accommodating. The main and second floor bedrooms were large and quiet.
The views of the surrounding mountains with the morning fog were breath taking. We took a morning walk chaperoned by singing birds on the appropriated named Panoramic Loop road. Had a wonderful time, will return.

This cabin cannot be described in just a few words. Everything was new and absolutely beautiful. We were able to see ELK EVERY day and sit by the fire pit and the views were unbelievable. We have found our GO TO cabin in Maggie Valley. Easy access and close to all the attractions and shopping. Camelle is a wonderful owner and very friendly and accommodating. We will be back.

Best of the BEST!!!!
This is the the second time I have stayed with Camelle in one of her cabins. They are always top notch in every way and so clean! I really enjoyed Blackberry Lodge because of the fire pit and the views from the porch are unbelievable. The Elk would visit every day at dusk and I so looked forward to their visit. Blackberry Lodge is truly a magical place to stay and I have already booked for next year!

Amazing Views and Elk!
We had an amazing time at Camelle’s cabin! Upon arrival we could tell that it had already met our standards. It was immaculate and stocked with all dishes and items we needed for cooking on our vacation. The location was amazing. No curvy scary toads to get to it and still had an amazing mountain view. The elk came to visit multiple afternoons and it was such a treat. We will be back next year for a yearly trip to Maggie Valley!

Amazing cabin in Maggie Valley, NC
This is the second time we have rented a cabin in Maggie Valley, NC from Camelle, the owner of Willow Tree Cabins. The Cabins are absolutely beautiful and stocked with everything you need. Camelle is very attentive and communicative, if you need to reach out to her. We saw many Elk during our stay and the Cabins are located in a beautiful subdivision with 360 views of the surrounding mountains. You will not be disappointed!!
