Cataloochee Ranch Ski Chalet | Private retreat with mountain views and a cascading creek on 3 acres. Fast wifi

2 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Cataloochee Ranch, Maggie Valley

This cozy chalet is nestled in front of a 45 ft rocky outcrop. Sitting on nearly 3 secluded acres, this retreat feels miles away from civilization, but is actually less than 10 minutes to various restaurants, shops, and activities. Relax on the deck, take in the amazing views, and enjoy visits from local wildlife including elk and wild turkey.
The cascading creek running through the property provides the calming sounds of water rippling through rocks and over small waterfalls. Buck Mountain Retreat is perched on the mountainside at 4,000 ft above sea level. 4 sliding doors across the front side of the house provide mountain views from the living area and primary bedroom. Start your day with a beautiful view of Brown Lead Peak from your bed and end your day on the deck enjoying the crisp, clean air and sounds of the creek.
2 Bedrooms and 2 full baths are on the main floor along with kitchen, dining and living area. The basement includes a sleeping room, half bath and laundry room. Basement steps are a little steep so please use caution.
The rich history of this small mountain town and neighboring Cherokee Indian reservation has been incorporated into the home with paintings, handcrafted sculptures, and various décor from local artists and carvers.
The house is fully stocked with games, books, puzzles and everything you need for the perfect mountain getaway. After booking, we'll send more detail on some of our favorite things to do in the area and our favorite restaurants. Here's a little sneak peek -
- Hiking - several hikes of various difficulty levels and waterfalls within 15 minutes.
- Lake Junaluska - 20 minute drive to a beautiful, smaller lake with walking trails, kayak/canoe rentals, fishing and free mini golf, sand volleyball, shuffleboard and more (equipment can be borrowed from our garage).
- Winter activities - Just a 5 minute drive to Cataloochee Ski Area and tubing.
- The town of Maggie Valley offers something for all ages including restaurants, shops, mini golf, arcades, gem mine, fishing, axe throwing, the Wheels through Time museum and more.
- 6 minute drive to Maggie Valley Fairgrounds which offers cars shows, arts and craft fairs, concerts and more.
- Blue Ridge Parkway is a 10 minute drive from the house. Spend some time exploring and visiting the various scenic overlooks.
- Harrah's Cherokee Casino is a 25 minute drive
- Set a tee time for one of the 6 area courses within 25 miles of the house
- Take a day trip to Asheville or another local mountain town.
Road is privately maintained and not always immediately cleared after snow/ice. Driveway is paved, but steep and we recommend parking at the bottom of the driveway if snow/ice is expected. Bags of salt and shovels available if needed. 4WD suggested December through February, but not required. No 4WD needed spring through fall and driveway is motorcycle friendly.
**We recently added 2 security cameras. One camera is at the top of the driveway before you make the turn to park. The second camera is by the main entry door. Typically, the camera by the door is only on during arrival and departure days to make sure everything goes smoothly.
