Peaceful Creekside Retreat at the foot of Mt. Mitchell!

You will fall in love with this log cabin. We did! We were on vacation in the mountains of western North Carolina and found ourselves mesmerized by the South Toe River area. So much so, that we immediately bought The Log Cabin on Neil's Creek upon our departure. It's surrounded by towering Carolina Hemlocks and soft beds of moss. The creek, just off of the back covered porch, can be heard from all rooms of the cabin. The creek is a North Carolina wild trout stream and is filled with Rainbow and Brown Trout. Being in the Pisgah National Forest, you are sure to see some native wildlife, maybe even a black bear. There are an abundance of hiking trails that are walking distance from the cabin varying in difficulty including the Mt. Mitchell trail. Mt. Mitchell is the highest peak east of the Mississippi.
There is a beautiful golf course only a five minute drive away.
The cabin is spacious with an open floor plan, large kitchen and bedrooms. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans. There is a full size washer and dryer in the bathroom. There are plenty of board games and puzzles to keep you occupied if you choose to stay in. All of the interior walls are a gorgeous, natural wood. It is very much a cozy home away from home.

As per VRBO guidelines, we must disclose that there is a camera that views the driveway and the side of the cabin towards the forest for hopeful wildlife sightings.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Pisgah National Forest. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine, and fireplace
  • Free WiFi
  • Steps from Pisgah National Forest and a 3-minute drive from Mount Mitchell Trailhead

Peaceful trip
Very nice cabin on the creek. Comfortable and cleanest place we have ever stayed. Only downside is the distance from restaurants and shopping. I really was not a fan of the curved mountain roads. Fortunately I read earlier reviews and took our groceries with us. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. We loved the peacefulness and only had neighbors one night. There are great hiking trails nearby. We loved taking the dogs to the river and walking on the rocks. Saw lots of fish and a heron. Very relaxing cabin.

birthday weekend
I have been eyeing this cabin for a while as we drove up/down S. Toe River Road so was excited to finally catch it available on VRBO for my husband and me to celebrate our birthdays! We loved the deck overlooking the porch with the lights we could turn on at night! It's so convenient to LOTS of trails which our younger son and his girlfriend enjoyed. Great cabin, clean and well-stocked kitchen. But the location is the BEST part! Just a note-no outside fires due to location in Pisgah National Forest so if firepits and grills are important to you those are not available here. There is an electric grill on deck.

Our Stay at Neils Creek
The cabin was very nice. Peaceful, loved being able to sleep with window open falling asleep to the sound of the creek and waking up to it and sitting on front porch listening to it. while drinking coffee. We enjoyed talking to the very nice gentleman behind the counter at Efflers convenient store. Loved that it had the parkway not far away and also hiked to few nearby waterfalls, Disappointed that there was a sign that the grassy creek falls was closed, I visited it few years back and it is a beautiful waterfall that you can get up to and walk behind. Want to thank you for allowing us to stay. We also were so glad we drove up to the parkway overlook to watch the Perseid meteiors. This was my great grandson first time going to the mtns and he did enjoy some fishing and waterfalling especially sliding rock. We truly enjoyed our stay wished it could have been longer. Thanks from Donna, Dean, Shannon & Nicholas

Perfect spot
We stayed for 2 weeks at this lovely log cabin in a tranquil spot on a flowing creek. Very clean, everything you would need supplied. Beautiful wood floors, walls, and ceilings.About 30 minutes to the closest grocery in Burnsville (you will learn to love curvy highway 80, but not much traffic). Many nice restaurants in Burnsville if you don’t feel like cooking (The Homeplace has excellent pizza). Convenient to go in all directions. Half hour drive to Mt. Mitchell (be sure it is a clear day) or if you are brave you can hike up from Black Mountain Campground.. Lots of great views on the Blue Ridge Parkway, only 10 minutes away. Bakersville has some nice galleries if you are in to fine art, so does the Penland Craft school. Blowing Rock is a nice village with good restaurants and shops, but it is 1.5 hrs away along the BRP. We hiked many nearby trails (watch for bears) and along the roads. Good tubing and fishing on the river, or just jump in for a soak. If I were to want to own a cabin in this area this one would be perfect. Quick response from the owners, very nice people, great place!

Peaceful Getaway
We absolutely love this property. It has something for each of us, the boys love to fish and the access to hiking trails makes this cabin the perfect getaway for our family. When you add in the calming sound of the river at night and the porch, it just doesn't get any better.

Perfect Mountain Getaway!
Everything about this cabin is just perfect! Though it is tucked away at the base of the mountains, we had great access to not only our creek in the front yard, but a fun spot for the kids and dog to play in the water a few houses away at the beginning of a few hiking trails. The inside of the cabin was spotless, and we loved the bear theme---perfect! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Getaway
Just what we needed, a wonderful cabin in a beautiful setting. Enjoyed the nearby hikes to the waterfalls and the blooming wild hydrangea. It was very relaxing sitting in the rockers on the porch listening to the babbling brook. We can't wait to come back, even our dogs were sad to leave.

Anniversary Retreat.
My wife and I were looking for a nice little get away to celebrate our 10yr anniversary and just spend some quality down time together away from everything. THIS was the perfect spot. Great little cabin, great location! The sound of the river flowing right outside the bedroom window was amazing and the hiking was literally right outside the front door. Could not have been happier with this expierence.

Perfect for a family weekend mountain getaway!
The cabin was perfect! It's exactly like described; so well-taken care of, just the right size for a family of 4 and a German Shepherd. Stocked with everything you need for a weekend getaway. The location is amazing! Just the right amount of isolation, but so close to multiple trails of varying levels, absolutely gorgeous waterfalls, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mt. Mitchell. The hosts were incredibly responsive and wonderful to work with. We'd love to stay again!
