The two story home has two rooms upstairs, one has a outdoor deck facing the mountain out front. A great place to watch the sunrise. There's a deck downstairs also. A third room "the master bedroom" downstairs near the kitchen and laundry room. And the large comfortable living room just off the kitchen/dining area with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace. Cable TV and High Speed Internet included and a phone line on premises... we even have a cordless phone so you can call home while watching the hummingbirds, squirrels, chipmunks and even bunnies if you happen to see them out back. Two additional decks out front one off the 3rd bedroom upstairs and the other downstairs both face the mountains which makes for a beautiful view out front too. No neighbors across the street here, very quiet and peaceful, yet you are only about 1/4 mile from Maggie Valley and US 19 which runs to Waynesville or Cherokee and the Smokies. You are a short drive to Asheville or the Harrah's Casino in Cherokee along with the South Main Entrance to the Smokey Mountains National Park. It is available to rent all year round and many who visit return each year. Very clean and feels like home. We want you to enjoy your vacation as much as we do staying here. Make your vacation complete with the best lodging experience and a great place to call your home in the mountains. Like a cabin, only much nicer with more features and room for eight.. the River Rock Chalet.

Ghost Town in the Sky Amusement Park of Maggie Valley, NC

By CelesteMichelle, published May 29, 2007

After 5 years of sitting vacant the amusement park is reopening Friday, May 25th. Aptly named, Ghost Town in the Sky, is over 3,300 feet up the mountain-side from the valley below. The climb to the park can be done by chair lift, a 75 degree, incline train, or a long and winding bus ride. Once there you can enjoy the variety of rides from bumper cars and the scrambler to the mile-high rollercoaster and the all-new drop tower. Most of the rides offer nice views of the valley below, but the roller coaster, named Cliffhanger, may offer the most exciting. Cliffhanger is a unique roller coaster that swings out over the edge of the mountain, offering spectacular views and thrills. If you're not interested in rides you can wander into the authentic western town that includes two saloons, jail, schoolhouse, and church. The saloons feature live music and Can-Can girls, and in the streets bank robberies, jailbreaks and gunfights can break out at anytime. Cherokee Indian dancers and musicians are another performance you won't want to miss. A new area of Ghost Town in the Sky, is The Heritage Town Square. This area leads you through the history of the Wild West, Western North Carolina, and 40 years of Ghost Town Memorabilia. There are also craft makers and a mining town where you can pan for gold and North Carolina gems. With such a variety of activites Ghost Town in the Sky makes a great amusement park for the whole family.

It may be that Ghost Town has some ghosts of its own. The general manager Bob Cordier describes one such tale:

"One particular ghostly tale involves Ghost Town's Silver Dollar Saloon and a bartender's picture. There was once a plaque hanging on a wall in the saloon that featured a bartender with a huge mustache. Old pictures taken from that time period show the plaque on the wall behind the saloon bar. The plaque has been lost for a number of years, but it mysteriously appeared in behind the scenes photos taken during the filming of the Ghost Town movie that was made in 2006. The actual plaque has never been found, and there is no explanation for this mystery."(Gleaton)
