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.

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.

Fireplace here was awesome for taking the morning chill off and our one pet, Lucy, a tiny golden retriever had a ball. The nice thing about the cabin for a family with a boy and a dog is it is easily cleaned and the porch on the outside facing a cool creek was most enjoyed by the boy and dog. The creek provided hours of entertainment for a six year old that lives in a city and has no access to water like this. Franklin has plenty of good restaurants and for hikers, this place is the bomb. Our favorite hike was to Pickens Nose which we had not been up to before this visit. Would happily go back again to the cabin,

Charming and comfortable cabin with a welcoming and homey feel. The outdoor fireplace was perfect and the musical sound of the stream could be heard everywhere on the property. The nice mountain art and decorations made us feel at home.

We were looking for a nice, quiet cabin on a creek that we could just relax at for the week.....and that's just what Creekside Cabin is. We really enjoyed sitting by the firepit while our dog enjoyed the creek. Great place! We will definitely be back.

If you don't have everything you need at this cabin, then you might need to rethink your needs. It was cozy, clean and there was even firewood for the large firepit. Sitting by the creek is the best way to start your day! The large porch facing the creek was a wonderful gathering area for us and our grown children. My family loved every minute! The host welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed. We will return!

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!

Fishing Trip

We loved being in the woods and in the mountains. My boyfriend absolutely loves the country out there he loves the mom and pop restaurants we loved everything about it had a wonderful time while we were there to visit and site see all the waterfalls. So beautiful if you love the country, mountains, site seeing/hiking, country cooking, mom and pop shops and somewhere with no service this is the perfect place!!!
