A total dream!!

Exquisite in every way. This vacation as one of the best ever. My husband and I have traveled all over and this place was by far our favorite. It has everything you need to rest, relax, cook, and explore and hike. My husband is allergic to dog and cat dander so we tend to shy away from pet friendly places. However, we lost our dog sitter at the last minute (we have two large doodles) and when we saw the wood floors and past reviews, we took a chance. Wow, did our pups have a blast. We took them in the creek behind the house, hiking around the mountain and my husband had no allergy issues. It was a perfect vacation. If you are hesitating….dont. Book it. We will be back many times in the future. Connie and Bob

Perfect Location for Relaxation

We spent the day exploring the area and the evenings enjoying the serenity of Watia Creekside. The screened in porch overlooking the creek was heavenly. We spent most of our time on the porch and enjoying good conversation, a rarity in this day and time. We look forward to our next stay at Watia. Thank you for a great time and wonderful memories in your beautiful home.

Amazing cabin on the creek

Beautiful cabin right on a lovely creek. Sitting on the porch each night with a fire glowing was the perfect ending to our day. Private boat dock with amazing views just up and over the mountain in the private neighborhood. Nice kitchen for cooking meals and fully equipped. We really enjoyed our stay!

A little slice of paradise

From the moment you pull in the driveway, you’ll never want to leave! Beautiful, clean cottage with everything you need. We loved the kitchen nook for eating and playing games; the loft with foosball table; the screened porch with gas fireplace; the hot tub and the wonderful sounds of the creek while enjoying the fire pit-complete with split wood!

Wonderful Cabin

We came to the area to do the Polar Express and see a different part of the state. This was about one of the nicest cabins we have ever stayed. It was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Very will stocked. Extremely comfortable beds. Highly recommend. Thinking of coming back when the lake is at summer pool.

Beautiful Cabin & Setting

The property was beautiful and very clean. Our favorite part was sitting on the porch in front of the fireplace. The only thing we would change would be the garbage disposal routine. It would be nice not to have to take the trash to the dump ourselves. No complaints otherwise!

Watia Creekside Cabin - Fantastic Stay

My husband and I stay in Bryson City a week every year. We love NC Mountain Realty. The communication is outstanding and the response time is usually daily. Anytime we have had any issues, they were fixed the same day or the expectations were spelled out. Watia Creekside was a great location. Roads were easy to navigate and a perfect central location to multiple things to do. Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, locate shopping, and waterfalls. The creek was wonderful while sleeping at night. We will definitely be staying at Watia Creekside in the future. Thank you for a great experience.

Incredible Mountain Getaway

If you want to relax and get away from it all in a luxurious and comfortable mountain retreat, we highly recommend Watia Creekside. It was definitely hard to leave this lovely home - well equipped kitchen, comfy master suite, hot tub, stream, fire pit, indoor and outdoor fireplaces - it had everything we needed for a tranquil mountain getaway. The home is super nice, but not "fussy", and it was very pet friendly - our dog Sadie had a blast. Easy access to so many great spots to hike. Exactly what we were hoping for!

Perfect Mountain Get Away

This house is really lovely for 4 adults and perhaps a child or 2. I do not recommend adults sleep in the upstairs portion. It is very well stocked, beautifylly kept, clean, tastefully decorated and really has everything you need for a fantastic time in the NC mountains. We would definately stay again when we are back in the area. The management company is super nice and very responsive.

Beautiful cabin

This cabin was exactly how it was described online. Beautifully decorated. Extremely clean. Great kitchen/cooking amenities. We really loved it there. It was, as described, off the beaten path and quite a ways from town, but we enjoyed the quiet, serene landscaping and the sound of the creek. I would highly recommend this place to everyone!! Also, we were able to check in a little early which made us very happy!

This place was immaculate & our jaws hit the floor when we got to the property. I have stayed at many properties over the years & this checked ALL the boxes. Beautiful property & the stream flowing behind the house (next to the fire pit!) couldn’t have been more perfect. The hot tub was already heated & ready for us! Can’t say enough fabulous things about this place. WE WILL COME BACK! Book it, you will not regret it.

Peaceful Oasis

Watia Creekside did not disappoint and was everything we were looking for in a relaxing property to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The creek was the most therapeutic experience and made for a relaxing vibe the entire week. Also enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch and caught an afternoon thunderstorm! The property access to the NOC, waterfalls, hiking, and beautiful lake Fontana was convenient and private. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and had easy access to dropping kayaks via the private dock in the community. The cabin itself was luxurious, yet cozy and had all we needed to cook daily. The master bed was like sleeping on a fluffy cloud. We opened the bedroom window and listened to the creek babble all night! Highly recommend staying here and we would return in a heartbeat!

Great, peaceful retreat

My husband and I had a great stay, the house was everything and more the pictures showed, My only complaint is the light bulbs are not very bright and some were burned out, the house was on the dark side at night, playing cards or trying to read. It is tucked 10 minutes up the mountain, 20 minutes from Bryson City, So if you want to be close to places this would not be for you,,
