MTNJOY # 6 Bait & Tackle (PF)

Mountain Joy Cottage #6, Bait and Tackle, is named and adorned for the fisherman at heart. Our trout coffee table was the motivation behind this delightfully alluring cottage. Dark green walls and amusing enhancements make you feel as though you are in the woods near your favorite stream or pond.

Originally the homestead of Maggie Setzer, for whom Maggie Valley was named, the land that Mountain Joy sits is a special place. You will become enchanted with it’s mountain charm, family atmosphere and character. We offer all the modern conveniences you would expect with the year-round access and seclusion that very few can offer.

Enjoy the peaceful country setting of our cottages. We have one, two and four bedroom cottages all equipped with wood burning fireplaces, cable TV, internet and kitchens ready to cook a home made meal. Outside the porches have rocking chairs so you can enjoy your morning coffee or enjoy the sunset on the mountains in the evening. Our glass enclosed outdoor pool (seasonal) offers a delightful place to relax.

Mountain Joy Cottages are centrally located in the heart of Maggie Valley just one block up Setzer Cove Road with easy access to all of the area attractions. We are just minutes off of the Scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The area is loaded with craft, antique and gift shops. The great outdoors offers horseback riding, golf on area mountain courses, trout fishing in streams, white water rafting and scenic drives. Snow skiing and tubing is available for the entire family at Cataloochee Ski Area. Nightlife includes everything from Jazz to Bluegrass, clogging or dinner entertainment. Our cottages are just a short drive to the Great Smoky Mountain Railway, Asheville and The Biltmore Estate, Cherokee and the Indian Reservation and Harrah’s Casino and historic downtown Waynesville.

Whatever the season, Mountain Joy Cottages and the Great Smokies have something very special to offer. From the wildflowers of spring, to the blaze of colors in the fall or the serenity of winter, come visit and make lasting memories at Mountain Joy Cottages.

  We stayed here Oct 27-29th and it was great. The Cabin was huge and exactly what we needed for all of us. All the bathrooms were nice too. Also, it was spread out enough for the kids to be able to have a quiet nap space. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Great location. We will be back for sure.

  Awesome experience from start to finish. Grandkids loved fishing in the trout pond. Playground right outside our door. The elk came by every morning and evening to say high. Absolutely perfect!

  My husband and I with our 13 year old had a great stay at the cottage. It’s the perfect size for our family and our two dogs. We especially loved the large kitchen table and the fireplace. We will definitely be back!

  When we walked in there was a dirty paper towel on the floor. The floors weren't very clean. The silverware tray had hair in it, so I washed it and all the utensils in it, which some of those were dirty. The only large mixing bowl was being used to catch water from a leaky pipe under the sink. Some of the kitchen items need replacing. When I pulled down the quilt there was hair on the sheets. It is a great location. There were elk wandering on the property which was great to watch.

  a guest from Clarksville, TN does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The cabin is a cute cabin for sure. It was as described ... fishing theme with 2 bedroooms, 1 bathroom, and 1 large room for living room, kitchen, and table. The bathroom has recently been remodeled, apparently and was cute but small without a cabinet or table to put items on which meant I had to use the toilet to place my tools/makeup bag on. This was okay with me and I point it out only for future guests.
  
  The biggest issue with this cabin is that it needs a deep clean terribly. As stated in several reviews, cobwebs are all over, dust that hasn't been cleaned in forever is on decor throughout cabin, and even mold growing on the nightstand in the king sized bedroom. I did leave this information with the rental company upon checking out so I am hoping that finally someone will clean this place appropriately.
  
  The cabin sits in a small subdivision that is absolutely beautiful with a wooden playset, basketball court, pool (I didn't use), and big, beautiful trees that sounded like rain as the leaves fell to the ground (my favorite part of all).
  
  IF this cabin were deep cleaned, it would be worth the money I paid, but as it was, I was disappointed in the cost. PLEASE, finally take heed and clean it!! As is, I would not be able to recommend this to a friend without the express knowledge of the aforesaid information.
  
  I enjoyed Lake Junaluska's beautiful trail and scenery and also Barber's Orchard where I picked up absolutely delicious apples to bring home!

  SHARON S from Lexington, NC recommends this vacation rental

  I enjoyed our stay at the cabin and the location. The main concern was the cabin needs a deep cleaning. It was very dusty in the corners and around the beds. It also needs to have minimal supplies left such as extra light bulbs and soap. The sheets could use upgraded as well. I enjoyed seeing the Elk come through and eat from the apple trees.

  This was our families first time to Maggie Valley and we are very pleased. The cottage was beautifully maintained in a ideal area close to restaurants and activities. The location was beautiful with a great grassy area for kids to play and our four-legged best friend to run around. I would recommend this place again.
