About this property

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.

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.

The property was as advertised and well appointed. The cabin was very nice and the king bed was comfortable. The star of this place is the outside grounds. The creek was rushing and wonderful to listen to up close or from the deck. The firepit was outstanding and loved the whole set up. Great place for a getaway.

My husband and I were very comfortable at the cabin. We enjoyed the creek and the fire pit. The sounds of the creek were so peaceful. The furniture was very comfortable. Overall, the cabin was a great place for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Hannah, the host, was quick to respond to our communications. She has a pleasant personality.
