I am the Youth Director for a country club in Atlanta. We have stayed at Smokey Shadows for 8-9 years now. It is located on the way up the mountain to Cataloochee Ski Resort. This makes your drive to the slopes very short. The kids love the big family room and kitchen. I love the two hallways in the main cabin for all the bedrooms. We ski all day Saturday and return to the cabin around 5pm every year. We order in pizza, make hot chocolate, and create s'mores. The kids entertain us with talent shows and we play games. The adults are able to relax by the fire and watch TV. The cabin is always decorated lovely for Christmas. There is nothing better than turning on the Christmas tree lights and having snow outside. The group gets up early on Sunday, has breakfast, and heads back to the slopes. The cabin is always clean and ready for us. Ginger and Bud are great hosts. They have the fire wood ready and greet us at the door. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. I can't wait to come up and experience spring, summer, and fall in Maggie Valley at Smokey Shadows.
