How to Plan a Romantic Getaway in Maggie Valley

How to Plan a Romantic Getaway in Maggie Valley

Many say that the best experiences are shared with others—especially if it’s your significant other. Take a break from the daily routines of life and embark on a romantic getaway in Maggie Valley. During the winter, our charming mountain town can keep the flame burning. Whether you’re newly in love or celebrating an anniversary, consider us as your next dreamy destination.

1). DELICIOUS DINING

What’s a great getaway without delicious dining? No matter what your taste, we’ve got a diverse list of enticing eateries to try right along Soco Road. Enjoy traditional Italian at Frankie’s Trattoria or a family-friendly all-American joint like Brickhouse Burgers & Pizza. Other favorites are Pop’s Butts on the Creek, Rendezvous, and J. Arthur’s. If you’re a breakfast lover, try out well-known establishments like Joey’s Pancake House, Carver’s Maggie Valley Restaurant, Pop’s, or Country Vittles. This is just a sampling of the many delicious places to eat when visiting.

2). Shareable Spirits

Wine and spirits often coincide with a romantic getaway. Forgot to bring some champagne or a bottle of wine to celebrate? No worries, we’ve got you covered! Maggie Valley is home to two independent wine stores: Soco Wine Market of Maggie Valley and B&C Winery. Both offer a unique selection and appeal to wine enthusiasts of every sort.

3). COZY CABINS

What’s a romantic trip without a cozy cabin to call home for the weekend? After a busy day of exploring, you’ll need a nice, relaxing place to rest in the evenings. Maggie Valley offers a plethora of cabin choices for parties of all sizes. The perks of renting a cabin: you can cook your own meals and possibly enjoy lounging next to a warm fireplace. Even a deck with a hot tub or balcony can be enjoyed during the winter months. The scenery in Maggie Valley is beautiful year-round. Check out our offerings to find your perfect stay.

4). Drivable DESTINATIONS

Enjoy the serenity of Maggie while being close to many other romantic destinations like Waynesville, Lake Junaluska, Cherokee, and Asheville. If you’re planning an extended stay, day trips may be on your agenda. Western North Carolina has so many gems to explore. Spend a day at the Biltmore House or shopping and sightseeing in downtown Asheville. Stroll along Main Street in Waynesville or test your luck at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino. For a more relaxing outing, take a scenic walk around the beautiful Lake Junaluska. A stay in Maggie Valley means all your favorite Western North Carolina attractions are just a stone’s throw away.

5). Sweet SIMPLICITY

Today’s world can be overstimulating. With phones, the internet, and the option to binge watch Netflix, it can feel impossible to disconnect. However, if you’re determined to make it happen, it could make your next romantic getaway the best yet. Maggie Valley is the perfect place to unplug and unwind with the love of your live. Once you check into your cabin and unpack, allow yourself time to take in the beauty and excitement of your surroundings.

We love to see visitors year after year visit us to celebrate with their loved ones. Oftentimes, a visit to Maggie Valley becomes an annual tradition. Start planning your romantic getaway early and save yourself some stress. When you visit, be sure to tag us in your photos with #MaggieValley or @VisitNCSmokies as you explore all we have to offer. We hope to see you soon!
