Amazing NC Oasis!
This is our second time at the cabin, and we had a blast! We used the Traeger for nearly every meal, kept a fire going the whole time in the fire pit, went creek stomping, and generally just took in the beauty of the location and the creek. We’ll be back again!

Yearly friends and family trip
We spent the Labor Day weekend making s’mores by the fire, grilling lots of yummy food and relaxing to the calming sounds of the creek. The cabin was beautiful and quiet. Everyone enjoyed it very much.

Gem in the woods w/cabin spice
The cabin has many antiques on the walls (old sleds, fishing gear, baskets, snow shoes) giving it great 'cabin spice'. It is clean & well appointed. The A/C units were great for the afternoon heat. The sounds of the creek supplied a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. The creek was very clean since we found several salamanders living in it. The bridge over the creek allowed access to a game trail. We saw deer & many birds. The hot tub was very clean - a technician came by to do weekly cleaning. The only problem was the access road. It seems we were caught in a set of unfortunate circumstances: dry weather, loose gravel & previous renters that dug ruts into the road. Our Toyota Highlander (front wheel drive) w/newer rain tires had a difficult time navigating the road. We had to partially unload our vehicle to get up the road when we first arrived. On subsequent trips (which we tried to limit), we had to turn into the drive past the entrance, start in low gear, get a straight running start & hold on to the 'Oh Sh*t' strap to navigate the road. AWD & 4WD shouldn't have a problem w/current road conditions. We were told once there is a heavy rain, the road would be re-graded/repaired. The property managers were very friendly & helpful. They even drove our dogs & some luggage up the drive when we first arrived. Sadly, our son's comment as we left was: Thank God this will be the last time we will have to drive this road! We would love to rent again but would need AWD or 4WD.

Great Spot for a Getaway
Loved listening to the creek, very private, room for everybody. Hot tub was wonderful & it was close enough to town for convenience, but far enough away to enjoy the country roads and no traffic. Our 2 dogs loved it as well. Would definitely stay here again if in the area!

Creekside Excursion Getaway
The property was absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views with all the lush greens of tall trees. An amazing creek to take full advantage of all the adventures you can create and all within steps from the house. Huge bonus was the hot tub to also enjoy with the creek view. There was so much to do, even when it rained. So much space and privacy. The owner/host had provided everything we could possibly need. Incredible Waterfalls within 20 miles including our must favorite *Dry Falls and *Bust Your Butt Falls !! We'll definitely be back !!

Great cabin, the property (deck, creek, fire pit) were wonderful! The inside living and kitchen is definitely small and cozy but the cabin has everything we needed! We loved cooking on the Traeger! Our kids loved the space in the basement to run around and play. Perfect for a small family. Will book again!

We had a wonderful stay at Creekside! The property was absolutely beautiful, and had everything we were hoping for in a vacation spot. So many details were thought through, and it made our stay here so very relaxing. We hope to return again next year!

A Hidden Gem!!
Wow! The pictures don’t do this property justice!! Every detail has been thought out!! The beds are SUPER a comfortable!! The towels are high quality, and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking! The outdoors are AHMAZING from the fire pit, to sitting near the creek, to the hot tub!! I have already rebooked as this place was so quiet and serene!! The only thing to be aware of is the driveway is steep to get up to the house, so make sure you have good tires! My mom struggled getting her car up, (RAV 4) but her tires weren’t great! Never the less, it was a great cabin! I VRBO A LOT and this was one of my favorite rentals!!
