Great Smoky Mountain Creekside Cabin

Escape to this cozy, creekside cabin and leave your worries behind on your relaxing getaway. Enjoy your coffee while listening to the sweet sounds the rushing waters of the creek from the sprawling front porch. Nestled in the Upper Cartoogechaye River valley, this peaceful log cabin feels secluded, but is only a short ride to town to pick up supplies. Spend your days being lazy by the creek or explore the Nantahala National Forest only a few miles down the road.

The main level offers master style bedroom with a luxurious King size bed and full bathroom en suite with tub shower combo. The second bedroom is as cozy as the master with a comfy Queen bed and a full bathroom right outside it's door. Accessible by ladder, is the cozy loft with 2 single beds.
Open the door, breath the mountain air and listen to the sounds of the creek through the screen door. A fully stocked kitchen affords you all the luxuries of home or step outside and fire up the Weber charcoal grill. A remote start gas fire place will keep you warm on those cool mountain evenings. There is also an outdoor fire pit to enjoy roasting marshmallows and great conversation. Creekside Cabin offers 55 inch HD TV and wifi for those looking to stay connected.
Once you arrive at this charming cabin in the woods you will never want to leave!

We provide linens, dish soap, detergent, and toilet paper. You will need to bring your own charcoal and firewood for the outdoor fire pits.

Absolutely lovely few days in the mountains. Property was well stocked, comfortable, adorable and peaceful. We spent many hours by the creek and our daughter loved the loft. Hosts were responsive and check in was easy. We look forward to staying here again.

It was a beautiful cabin in a beautiful area. It was difficult for our vehicle to make the driveway though and it absolutely would have been impossible in ice or snow. We had one problem while we were there and it was immediately taken care of.

This was our second summer spending a week at this wonderful property. We enjoyed spending every afternoon in the creek and dining on the back porch. The cabin is cozy and beautifully decorated with comfortable beds. The sound of the creek is perfect any time of day whether enjoying your coffee in a rocking chair, eating dinner on the porch, playing board games, or watching fireflies before bed. Highly recommend!

Excellent Family Relaxation!

The cabin was immaculate, spacious, tastefully decorated, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped. The beds were extraordinarily comfortable, lots of cozy seating inside and out on the amazing porch, which was our favorite hang-out. Our teenage boys spent time reuniting with each other at the fire pit every night. The stream was cool and shady, and such an amazing sound of relaxation.
