Everything about this home is outstanding. There were a few things that needed attention, but with one phone call, the owner went above and beyond to correct it. We really appreciate being able to stay in such a beautiful and well-kept home with our fur child. We look forward to returning next summer.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, it is a beautiful home. However, the furnishings were not good. There was a chair and a half chase in the living room that was clawed up by an animal and smelled. We had to go buy something to cover it with. The mattresses not in the primary bedroom were not good. Very hard to regulate the air - if good on main floor, the basement was freezing cold. The patio/cushions were not usable (too dirty) and the grill was not working - we could not use. It needed a major cleaning, would not light all the way. We've rented several properties from you over the years and have always been satisfied. This was our only year when we were not. Your management team is ALWAYS friendly and SO helpful. I'm sorry to even write this, but I think people should know.

My family and I had a great time at the cabin. Views were out of this world, cabin was clean, we felt very comfortable with our stay. There were a few minor issues in which the maintenance department quickly fixed, issues with central heat and electric fireplace,even on a Saturday. The cabin was wonderful however it does need some TLC, nothing major, just loose furniture, front door didn't always latch close, nothing a screwdriver and some time couldn't fix. Overall we loved our stay and Maggie Valley and will be back next year.

Chipmunk Chase is a beautiful home. It was well equipped and had everything we needed. The house was very clean when we arrived. The view from the many windows was spectacular! The driveway is very steep, so be prepared for that. With a bedroom and bath on each level, it was perfect for three couples. The beds upstairs and on the bottom level were double beds, not queen size beds. Overall, the house is wonderful and we would consider coming back to this house next year.

Overall our experience at Chipmunk Chase was great. However, we are both sports fans (college) and the TV package through Direct TV left much to be desired. We asked for that to be extended to include more channels but the owner was only willing to do so if WE paid another $131 - that would probably cover adding the ESPN/SEC sports package for a whole year! We were NOT asking for special NFL etc, packages. The wifi strength was pretty low compared to other houses we have rented in the same area. The rental company was great in assisting with our problems - however, the owner was not.

This was our second year staying in Chipmunk Chase. It is a lovely home with a gorgeous view! The home has recently been repainted and has new furniture and amenities. This home, while fitting in with the mountain feel, has some of the best lighting, lovely high ceilings and enormous windows in the great room that look out to the perfect view. You can eat indoor or out on the lively deck where the dining area is covered. Plenty of bedrooms and all the kitchen equipment you will need. If we could live here for several months a year, it would be perfect! Staff in the Rental Office are friendly, efficient and very helpful. We look forward to staying in a Smoky Mountain Rental home every summer.

Beautiful home with great views! The home was very clean and spacious. It was well stocked with pots, pans, etc. It also had your basic pantry items available. With 5 adults and 1 child, it accommodated everyone perfectly! The office staff was very friendly and the entire check in/check out process was easy. Beautiful neighborhood with a nice scenic drive up! We will definitely book again!
My family and I stayed at chipmunk chase for a little weekend getaway and it did not disappoint! The overall cleanliness of the home was impressive. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need as well as a few pantry items. The layout of the home was perfect. It accommodated everyone with plenty of space. As there was 5 adults and 1 toddler. The view was absolutely amazing! Getting to the cabin wasn't difficult, as the road was paved all the way up to the cabin. It's about a 6-7 minute drive up with scenic views throughout the neighborhood. The driveway may seem a little steep to some, but nothing too terrible. Two cars could fit easily. The office staff was very friendly and the check-in/out process was simple. Overall, we are very satisfied with our stay and would highly recommend chipmunk chase! We'll definitely be back!

This was such a beautiful home! The view was amazing! The layout was good. The teens had their space on the lower level. The parents had theirs on the upper. We (grandparents) had the main floor. So we could be together yet withdraw to our separate areas as well. Worked great!! Loved the deck!
This mountain home is large and has the best mountain and a key views in the area. Access to nearby sights and activities is great too.
Need king beds and a good dusting, b7t I am a bit OCD
We rented this magnificent house with our daughter and her family. She and her husband took the upper bedroom, we took the one on the main level, and the four kids had the bottom level. Great separation, privacy, yet there was plenty of room to come together. The deck was wonderful...so relaxing, great view. We had our own private world, yet we were close to the towns. One of our favorite rentals and locations!!

This is the third property we have stayed in at Smoky Mountain Retreat Rentals. We liked all of them but this is the best! Gorgeous windows let in the light and let you see the beautiful outdoors from every spot in the Great Room. Wrap around decks on lower and middle level, perfect for morning coffee while watching the sunrise or sunset.House and kitchen are very well equipped. Housekeeping did a great job cleaning before we arrived. The Rental Office staff are friendly, helpful and very responsive.

Seven long-time girlfriends came to celebrate our 60th birthdays. House amenities allowed us to enjoy dinner our first night in the home after a long drive from NW Ohio. Wifi provided access to dance music that allowed us to let loose a bit after dinner. Ha ha. A drive to nearby Asheville to tour Biltmore and its lovely gardens and winery was first on the agenda. Other activities included shopping the artisans of Maggie Valley and nearby shops of Waynesville, hiking Caldwell Fork Trail and nearby waterfalls, walking along Lake Junaluska, and enjoying cold PBR at Sauced and Italian cuisine at Frankie's Trattoria. We saw wild turkey in the neighborhood, a baby bear running after her mama near Biltmore, and a cat near the office! Great weather overall late May, and some worn-out 60 Year-olds, made for a successful adventure!

Everything was perfect....huge rooms, comfortable furniture, beautiful woodwork throughout, amazing fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, gorgeous master bath and extremely clean. Many cute little towns nearby and lots of hiking opportunities. The office key pick up/drop off was very convenient. We hope to come back again.

Easy booking...Office staff was courteous and helpful...Home is just as beautiful in person as pictures show. Quiet, peaceful setting with majestic views of the Smokies. Convenient location to everything. The drive up the mountain to the house itself is s bit tricky, but don't let that intimidate you. It's well worth it once you're there. Highly recommend Frankie's Italian Trattoria (dinner or just pizza...white linen dining, great bar, and recommend reservations). Pop' s and The Buttered Biscuit for breakfast. Lake Junaluska is within 4 miles...very scenic...great walking path. North Carolina Arboretum near Asheville is another recommend, and if you really feel like stepping out of your comfort zone try Navitat (zip lining just north of Asheville) not for the faint of heart!! You will not be disappointed with your stay at Smokey Mountain Retreat.
