3rd stay at Creekside Bliss
This was my family's 3rd stay at Creekside Bliss and using Sundog Vacation Rentals. Not only does the cabin have everything we desire, but, the rental company is so incredibly easy to work with and reliable. We will be booking again!
This was the coziest cabin! It was perfect for being with our son for his WCU Graduation, with campus only 15 minutes away. The bedrooms were perfect sizes, the kitchen was well equipped, the bathrooms and closets were spacious. The outdoor space was perfect with rocking chairs, hot tub and fire pit. We will definitely rent Creekside Bliss again.

Creekside Bliss lives up to the name!
This was the second time that my family had stayed at Creekside Bliss. Everything about the stay is delightful. The cabin is always clean and has all of the amenities needed for your stay. The views are beautiful and the hot tub is a great perk. We plan to stay again.
Creekside Bliss was a perfect place to stay for Family Weekend at WCU. The house was clean and well appointed. The hot tub was great and the view down the valley was nice. We will visit again!

Thank you Jason, we're glad you enjoyed your stay!
Really enjoyed our time at Creekside Bliss. It was quiet, peaceful, clean and new. The last quarter mile of road to the driveway was a bit steep and one of our older cars struggled with it, but we all made it and enjoyed a little get-together with friends before dropping our teens off at camp.

Creekside Bliss
Creekside Bliss was just that; pure bliss!from the soft sounds of the babbling brook to to the cozy cabin.Newly renovated and super clean,has everything we could ask for from the comfy bed to sitting around the fire pit in the evenings.Great place to rest and relax.
Newer property, tastefully designed. Fully appointed kitchen including an outside grill. We enjoyed a relaxing time outdoors on the rocking chairs on the front, covered deck. Beautiful property, quiet place.

The rental property was phenomenal. Everything was exactly as promised. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals together. Wonderful cabin that we would rent again. Quick and easy drive to WCU which was extremely helpful for our stay.

Beautiful Cabin with every ammenity that you could possibly need. Very comfortable beds, very clean, and just the perfect place to relax and rewind. Kitchen area was very nice with large table for eating or playing games. Hot tub and firepit very relaxing in the evenings. Very convenient to small quaint towns for exploring shopping or visiting breweries. We will definitely be visiting again!

Loved our stay at Creekside Bliss!
This cabin has all the amenities of home. We especially enjoyed the large kitchen table for gathering and games. Outside provided picturesque views whether sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch, in the hot tub, or around the fire pit. Quaint nearby towns offer plenty of shopping and restaurant options. We will be back!
Very nice cabin. More remote location than I expected.

Creekside Bliss - An Appropriate Name
The cabin is lovely and exactly as described. Plus it was very clean. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the many amenities such as the hot tub, outdoor fire pit, the soothing sound of the adjacent stream, warm fireplace, and outstanding mountain views. In addition it is convenient to explore quaint nearby towns such as Sylva, Franklin, Waynesville, and even the Biltmore Estate. We will definitely stay here again!
My husband and I, our 1 y/o baby girl, and 2 of our friends stayed at Creekside Bliss for the weekend. The cabin is lovely. It was easy to “baby proof”. Loved the hot tub and sound of the creek near by. Easy drive into Sylva for food, beer, shopping. Sylva has a great playground for kids. Would stay again.

We had a great time at Creekside Bliss! It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. You have all of the necessary amenities. The sound of the nearby creek provided a calming background noise. Two things to be aware of: the drive into the community is steep and the stairs in the house are slick, so be careful going up and down. We went into the cute town of Sylva several times, went tubing and elk viewing in Cherokee. It was a lovely vacation.

Lauren,
It was our pleasure hosting you!! We always enjoy seeing our guests enjoy not just their rental but the local amenities as well. With any luck we will be able to host you again.
Comfortable, cozy modern cabin on hillside deep into mountains, but still convenient to Cullowhee/WCU. Check-in was easy, cabin was ready and very clean. Furnishings and appliances nice. Heat/air controls a little confusing. Beautiful setting--very quiet and peaceful.

Amazing
If I could give more than five stars I would. This place is beautiful and very clean. It sits at a beautiful spot on the mountain where you can see the horizon. It is very spacious and had a working washer and dryer that came in handy. It is ,by far, my favorite place that I have stayed so far. We will definitely be returning to Creekside Bliss!
