Thank you so much for commenting with your kind and encouraging words. Maggie Valley is one of the most beautiful places around. Glad you got to experience living there. Again, thank you for your encouraging comment.

Yes, that was the first time we've ever dealt with this issue in a motel, and it was not pleasant.

You got to see the snow! We didn’t get much here. It got bitter cold though! I went a few nights worrying about my water pipes, but thankfully, it all went well. Old homes, you have to worry with a lot in the miuntains.

Thankfully, you didn't have any problems with your water pipes. That is definitely a concern when it is this cold. Yes, we were very glad to have seen that much snow up at Soco Gap.

You're welcome.

Yes, we want to go back in warm weather and experience this. Glad you had a good time.

Yes, we have talked many times about trying this one, as well. Hopefully, we will do that on a future visit.

We really appreciate that. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting.

Yes, I was amazed that she did that with the tape. We enjoyed staying here.

When my daughter, granddaughter and I started vacationing at Maggie Valley, this is the first place we stayed. Jonathan Creek was the best thing we enjoyed, sitting in the rocking chairs. Thanks for the memories!

We agree! Both about Jonathan Creek, and this place.

You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching!

So sorry about the loss of your husband. Glad you had a great time there with him. Yes, we loved the creek, as well.

Thank you very much for your kind words. If you do go there and stay, let us know what you think.

@@NCMemoryMakers ok will do! Oh thanks for the info on the bed bugs at the other place, that was good to know, and the scared of the dark story was cute and funny lol

Glad you enjoyed it

I hope you get to have a vacation there this year, and have a wonderful time with your family. Be safe!

You're very welcome!

Extra nice it’s pet friendly. We will plan a weekend trip here in the spring.

Thank you so much for watching. We are glad you enjoyed the videos. Yes, we enjoyed our first stay there, I'm glad you have had good experiences, as well.

Let us know what you think of it when you go.

You're very welcome.

Maggie Valley is a beautiful place to relax and take in the mountain scenery. As far as activities, it is not like the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge side of the Park. It is far more laid back. What we recommend, is getting on the Blue Ridge Parkway and driving and just taking in the overlooks. Take in a sunrise or sunset at Waterrock Knob. It is famous for both, as it has openings facing to the East and to the West. We would also recommend Cataloochee Valley to see the elk. Be aware that the road into there can be tough, and you might want to watch our other video on that. But that is easily doable if you are staying in Maggie Valley. There are many short hikes in the area, including a walk to Soco Falls. Get a room that has a balcony facing Jonathan Creek, and just sit on your deck and relax. If you did go in the winter, they have snow skiing at Cataloochee. I know you said you want to go in the summer, and that is a great time to go, as well. It is usually not hot in the summer as it is in the lower altitudes. Drive across the mountain 15 miles, and check out the Cherokee Indian Reservation. Take in the outdoor drama called "Unto These Hills", which tells the story of the Trail of Tears, which is the removal of the Cherokee from their native land. Those are the highlights that come to mind immediately.

@NCMemoryMakers thank you so very much. What is the "rough road" you are talking about? Is there another road to take in its place to the area? We love the BRP. We are not too familiar with Cherokee or Maggie Valley. This is helpful. We were thinking about coming from Gatlinburg to Maggie Valley to relax...this looks perfect. Love sitting outside,listening to the river,and we enjoy hiking. We have not gone to Soco falls,its on our list. Thank you so very much.

@paulettebrochet2011 The road I'm talking about, is the road into Cataloochee Valley. Not the road into Maggie Valley itself. I'm simply suggesting Cataloochee as an option of an activity to do. But the road to it, is one you will need to use extreme caution on. You can either come in from Tennessee, or from Maggie Valley. Both ways, it is a very narrow and rough dirt road in spots...Some blind curves. If you are careful and drive slow, you'll be fine. Just want to prepare you. You can see a little bit of the road at the end of our video, on the Cataloochee Valley, from October of 2022. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMt4oK91nbmql4k.htmlsi=gZjtqD1qScU1eMOh

We do not have a list, per se. We just try to find pet-friendly lodging when we go somewhere. There is a website called bringfido.com, and you can find that information there.

Thank you.

@@NCMemoryMakers are we going some where this weekend or staying home 😂 I know you two have to be tired

@dpmart3275 Heading to Gatlinburg to meet up with a subscriber this weekend. After that, we'll probably be slowing down for a few weeks .

We use our phones most of the time, for restaurant reviews. For other things, we use a Sony ZV-1, or a Sony AX-43A.

Thanks do much for timely reply.You guys are the best. Really the best!​@@NCMemoryMakers

Good morning. I'm just seeing this comment because it got held for review. I checked messenger for your message on our NCMemoryMakers page and on my personal page, and I couldn't find the message. I don't have an appointment in Winston yet, so I don't know who the Dr will be. Thank you for reaching out and letting me know. I hope your daughter is doing well. Have a blessed day!

Don’t know what happened with the messenger. If you could maybe request this Doctor she is really good. Good luck hope you can get some relief.

I probably should have said maid service. Meaning, that they come by and clean your room and make up your bed each day. Pretty much all motels used to do this, but now very few do.

@NCMemoryMakers also my wife wants to stay there now. Thanks

I understand. As long as the floor is clea, I'm not bothered either way. Maybe a pair of slippers or something that are padded and warm, might be helpful. You could put them on the minute you get out of the bed. But I understand what you're saying. The thing about it, is that most pet friendly rooms are going to have hard floors like this.

Because it is a non-smoking room now. At one time, it wasn't. That's why there was just a slight lingering odor. Plus, it was the last pet-friendly room they had. We had no choice.

That's not something that has really ever occurred to us. I believe it is illegal.

That is correct. We usually look for adequate. We rarely ever stay in a luxury hotel. As long as it's clean, that's the main thing for us.

@@NCMemoryMakers ok you can do you. But if I’m on vacation I want something special. I want to be treated exceptionally well.

@jamesboswell760 We feel that we were treated exceptionally well, by getting a clean room and friendly service, at a fair price. We don't spend a lot of time in the room, so we see no point in paying exorbitant prices. We're just regular people.

They did come and do that the second night.
