The space
You are walking into a refuge and respite from the hustle and bustle of your busy and overstimulated life. This log cabin will take you back in time when things were simpler and less complicated. You can enjoy the serenity and peacefulness of a mountain retreat without having to drive up steep mountain roads. You can be lulled to sleep or mesmerized by the sounds of the rushing creek or be enveloped in the enchanting variety of lush trees and gardens on the property. You will have access to wi-fi and have a smart TV to access your favorite apps, Netflix and Samsung premier Tv. You have all the amenities of a gourmet style kitchen with everything you could wish for to cook that glorious homecooked meal. Take a stroll through the charming mountain town of Waynesville and enjoy a variety of shops and local arts and craft stores and enjoy one of many restaurants, breweries and coffee shops that is only a 15-20 minute drive from the cabin. Relax and recharge around a 200-acre lake Janaluska. Choose to paddle board, kayak or take a scenic walk around the lake. Bald eagles are often seen soaring across the water, so keep your eyes to the sky. Take a breathtaking ride along the Blue Ridge parkway which is part of the Appalachian mountain range. Haywood county boasts 46 scenic miles of some of the most beautiful parts of the parkway. Another adventure is the Cherokee Indian reservation which is 20-30 minutes from the cabin. Immerse yourself in the Cherokee culture and heritage at the Indian village and the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. If you are feeling lucky, try your hand at Harrah's Cherokee Casino. Travel through river gorges, trestles and tunnels on a scenic ride through the Smokies on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. Take a drive to Asheville and journey back in time to "America's Largest Home" the Biltmore estate and explore the beautiful grounds, gardens and winery or the fabulous arboretum. Or explore the eclectic historic downtown Ashville with amazing restaurants, breweries, wineries, arts and craft boutiques, and great music venues. The next stop along the way that is a must see is the mountain town of Hedersonville, tour the quaint downtown area with many unique shops and restaurants.

Beautiful place!!

We absolutely loved this cozy little cabin! We stayed after a long day at Cataloochee ski area and it was perfect to kick back and relax. The hot tub was big and clean and ideal after being in the snow. And the entire place was very tidy and not far from the top of the mountain. My only regret is not bringing my dog because it had everything you would need to bring your furry friend. We absolutely will be back!

Slice of Paradise

Slice of Paradise that will exceed your expectations! Excellent communication from the owner, Gary. The cabin is absolutely stunning and perfect in every way. The property is paradise! Tucked in the mountain, but close to town. Peaceful retreat to reset your mind and body to a slow down to enjoy God's creation. We will return.

Anniversary Trip

Stayed for our 6th wedding Anniversary, The host was great, asked if our 150lb furbaby A Newfoundland could come as we are a family and he said yes, host even had treats waiting for Duke which he loved, very thoughtful host as well as set up to be pet friendly, even had a bed for him which we forgot his, put his blanket down on top and Duke was set. The day before we left we saw a herd of 25/30 Elk grazing in the back what an experience. God is Great in his creations Would HIGHLY recommend. Thank you again

Amazing!!

Absolutely amazing!! Pics don’t even do justice. So beautiful and so many special touches!! From the beautiful landscaping, the nice soft towels, comfy bed and sooooo much more!! We would highly recommend this piece of paradise!! Can’t wait to book again!! So sad to leave this morning…. My morning coffee will never be the same… going to miss sitting in the rocking chair wrapped in the softest blanket the owner has draped over every chair, gazing at the creek and hearing the babbling water …… everything was perfect!!

We had a wonderful long weekend stay at Twin Creeks Refuge. It was in a great location, very close to the main road , restaurants, and shops, but it still felt private and secluded. Easy drive, no steep road or driveway. The screened in back porch overlooking the creek was our favorite and our pups loved it too!! Everything was clean and plenty of room. We would definitely stay again.

Cutest cabin I've ever seen

It was a very short stay, i wish now that it would have been more than one night. The first thing I noticed about the property was how manicured the yard was. It's beautiful! The sound of the creek was also very nice and peaceful. The backporch is one of the best parts of the house. Its so cozy. The fire pit and hot tub was the icing on the cake!!

Best Cabin Ever

The cabin was absolutely precious, inside and out! I wish I had brought my pup and will do so, next time. The owner has thought of everything, including a pet and kid friendly home, away from home! Getting to and from the cabin was simple and w/in walking distance of numerous restaurants/shopping venues, if you prefer to get a lil exercise! This Twin Creeks Refuge has it all. Will definitely book again in the future. Thank you!!

Weekend cabin of our dreams!

I will begin by saying there are not enough good things I can possibly fit into one review of this property. The house was easy to find, very accessible and yet, still had that sense of being “tucked away” from everything else. The landscaping with so much greenery was an inviting welcome. The house itself was charming and beautiful. There were four of us and we always had plenty of space to hang together or find a quiet spot alone. The back porch was a favorite area for all of us. It is a spacious, screened-in back porch right next to a creek. It’s shaded and cool, no bugs, and there are comfy rocking chairs WITH fuzzy blankets on each chair in case you get chilly. Such a thoughtful touch! We brought our own food and let me just say, it was so easy to prepare food at this house because the kitchen was EQUIPPED! They have lovely stainless steel pots and pans (instead of the usual cheap scratched Teflon pans you find in a lot of rentals). They had a fully stocked pantry with spices, plates, cups, silverware — EVERYTHING. The bedrooms were lovely and each of us had our own space. The skylights provided a lovely wake-up with the day’s first light. Oh! The fire pit! We brought a couple bundles of wood and had a fire at night. Highly recommend having a fire pit in the evening, make s’mores and spend the evening in perfect weather laughing into the night with your group. I would 10/10 recommend this property to anyone considering it. I would also 10/10 come back to this specific property because it was fabulous!
