We had a wonderful stay! Loved sitting on the back porch and relaxing listening to the water from the creek. We enjoyed the privacy the hot tub and the back provided. Definitely recommend. We even got engaged on the back porch!
Great location to relax right on creek. Pool table was a fun bonus and cabin very nice and clean. Only minor drawback is no Wi-Fi but when trying to relax it’s kinda nice
This was the perfect weekend getaway for my fiance and I. This cabin was just as the pictures shown. Extremely clean. My favorite part was having the back door open and being able to hear the sound of the creek. Nicely secluded although there is a house and another cabin in close proximity. This was a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back!
The fire pit by the creek was great. We enjoyed relaxing by the water. The hot tub was very nice. It was clean and nice to sit in after a hike. We enjoyed this cabin very much.
We enjoyed our stay very much! We enjoyed listening to the creek from the rocking chairs on the back porch. Cabin is located in a quiet area. Perfect getaway for relaxing with access to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg within 45 mins or so for the day.
Very relaxing cabin on the creek. The hot tub was very clean and relaxing! We loved having to pool table upstairs too. Oven is very small so be prepared for that. Overall we enjoyed it so much!
The Cabin was the perfect little spring break get away! It’s so peaceful. The creek is so much fun for the kids! The cabin is so cozy and clean. We loved everything about our stay and we’re so sad to leave! Can’t wait to come back!!
We had a wonderful time relaxing by the creek and in the cabin. Exploring the great outdoors of the surrounding area. This spot is definitely a repeat.
True to photos and description! Lovely cabin with everything we needed to get away during the Memorial Day weekend. Host was excellent and responsive. Made s'mores in the fire pit, enjoyed the hot tub, and while looking at the exposed beams in the early morning hours, thought about the days people lived in log cabins to survive. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Quiet. Peaceful. Easy to get to in any vehicle. Clean. Comfortable beds. Cozy. Cosby Creek was better than expected, was more like a river to us. Near Smoky Mountain National Park. Newport close enough for more dining and grocery options. East ride to Gatlinburg if you want to go there. 5 out of 5. Thank you.
It was great. We loved the creek, fire pit, and hot tub. But all mattresses need to be replaced. All sink in the middle. That is the only thing I would change.

Lex,
Thank you so much for visiting Creekside Bliss Cabin. It was a pleasure meeting you and your husband and having you as our guest.
First I would like to point out that the description and amenities list does not include a dishwasher. Creekside Bliss is a hand hewn cabin and is listed as having the basic kitchen equipment. Had you asked for a dishwasher, you could have I could have found you a cabin with one. I am available 24/7 for my guests. This cabin has no bells and whistles and the pictures are accurate. We understand not all guests have the same needs, wants and opinions. With that being said, no guest has ever complained about the steps leading to the second floor. I will point out there is also a bedroom on the first floor that was not utilized during your stay.
Unfortunately when I arrived at the cabin ( 2:30 pm) to inspect and touch up anything housekeeping missed, you and your husband were already there and had been in the cabin. We ask guests not to arrive before check in time so that we can have time to properly clean and have the cabin ready for you. As you can recall I explained the cabin was not ready you and you said not to worry about it. Had you followed proper procedures and not arrived early I would have had ample time to have your cabin properly cleaned.
I take all my guests comments, suggestions and complaints personally and to heart. I have always had happy guests as the pervious reviews will reflect that.
I am sorry that you had an unpleasant experience and would like the opportunity to accommodate you again in the future. Thanks again and many blessings to your and your family.

We stumbled upon this cabin on VRBO and have no regrets! From ease of booking, to communicating with the owner, to the beautiful property on Cosby Creek and well furnished and clean cabin. This place was everything we were looking for in a mountain getaway. The addition of the pool table upstairs made our youngest (12) very happy! The creek provided hours of relaxation for my husband and I and entertainment for our kids. My only wish would have been a washer and dryer for a week vacation with 3 boys, but we knew that before we arrived. We will definitely be back!!
We absolutely loved this cabin & it is definitely in our top 3 places we have ever stayed.
The cabin itself has a spacious layout. It had a beautiful front porch with a swing and the back yard, well, the pictures dont do justice.
Opening the back door each morning and hearing the creek was priceless.
We fished (and caught 3 trout and ate them), the kids caught all kinds of critters, they dunked in the water, and we had our fire and smores creekside.
It was relaxing and perfect.
Close to Gatlinburg but far enough to be out of a busy city.
Owner was available and responsive when we needed anything.
Absolutely recommend!
Our family decided to do Christmas away from home this year and just focus on us. Creekside Bliss did not disappoint! Everything was just perfect and exactly as described! Extremely clean cabin with ALL the necessities you can think of (even a Christmas tree!). Anita was reachable or she got right back to us whether it was through phone, text or email. She was nice, personable and professional. Our family made wonderful, memorable memories this Christmas at Creekside Bliss. Ones I believe we will always treasure. We hope to return soon! Thank you!
There is no WIFI even though it's listed to have it. This is a very noisy cabin. If someone walks in the upstairs bedroom or bathroom it sounds like they are coming through the ceiling. The stove is extremely small and against a wall. To use a large frying pan you can only cook half at a time because the burner is so close to the wall.

Bonnie,
The cabin you rented is a Hand Hewn cabin. A hand-hewn cabin is a log cabin built using logs that have been hewn, a centuries-old process of cutting rounded logs to create flat surfaces. There is no insulation between the logs so you will be ale to hear the slightest noice made in the cabin. The listing clearly shows the stove. Had you prefered a larger stove, a different property should have been booked. Based on the condition cabin was left in, someone did a lot of cooking despite the small stove. This cabin does not have wifi and clearly states that in the description.
This cabin is accurate in its listing and is budget friendly. I would recommend renting a more suitable cabin that will meet your needs in the future. Avoid Hand Hewn cabins.
The cabin was exactly as described in the post and pictures! Our family LOVED it and will definitely return. The roads to the cabin are not bad, at all, and perfect for those that do not have a vehicle that’s 4x4. There is a very beautiful creek that is literally right out the back door. We sat down by the creek, built a fire and looked at cool rocks and pebbles that were all over. Upon arrival, there was an issue with the internet not working. I messaged Anita (whom was super responsive) and she got on it. The next morning, I turned around and messaged her again to let her know we were no longer even concerned with the internet not working because we actually didn’t even want to be on our devices, thanks to the beauty of the outdoors at the cabin! Will be going again in the summer so we can fully enjoy the creek!!
