The Homestead Lodge is a cozy cabin nestled in the lush forest with stunning creek access in the heart of Huffman Creek Retreat. Perfectly suited for gathering with a group of family or friends whether your idea of a relaxing getaway includes time in a creekside hammock or out exploring our several miles of private hiking trails with the whole family. Designed with several kinds of travelers in mind, this is a wonderful space for those who need several (4) bedrooms and bathrooms (3) to accommodate a crowd.
The cabin boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms with a great room featuring the kitchen, living room, and dining area with both a huge outside covered deck and an inside game room with a pool table, game console and an array of board games.
Enjoy the fully-stocked kitchen with stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, plates, cooking utensils, grilling utensils, small appliances (crock pot, blender, toaster, microwave, coffee pot), and flatware that opens up into the living and dining room area. A perfect spot to start the day with a pancake breakfast and delicious custom roasted coffee! (We provide the first day's coffee that is small-batch roasted by Little River Coffee Company for Huffman Creek Retreat)
The outdoor patio area is perfect for watching the kiddos play in the backyard or enjoying an outdoor meal under the twinkling bistro lights. Just steps from the fire pit and grilling area, you'll find yourself wishing you could stay just a day longer.
Whether you're looking for a quick 3-day getaway or a longer stay, the Homestead Lodge at Huffman Creek Retreat is a great place to make lasting memories.

PLEASE NOTE: 
We are LOCATED ON A GRAVEL ROAD. The Homestead at Huffman Creek Retreat is accessible with a traditional car, mini van, truck or jeep. This road is not ideal for exotic, luxury, low-clearance vehicles like Corvettes, Ferraris, or vehicles with Body Kits. Motorcycle travel depends on rider's skill level & comfort on gravel. We do have parking for trailers upon request. 

The PROPERTY: 
Enjoy the miles of private stream with an abundance of water falls and hand hewed bridges. Be sure to bring a fly rod and your favorite fishing gear to see what you can catch.
If it's a hike you're looking for, we invite you to explore the property's five miles of private hiking trails with ample room for discovery. Pack a lunch and snacks for a full day of adventure and be sure to bring along your camera to snap a shot of the abundant wildlife, waterfalls, streams, and various mountain views. The region, located in the Appalachian biosphere, is home to the world's densest population of salamanders. Be sure not to touch them though, this protected species is known for the unique characteristic of breathing through its skin. From migratory birds to exotic ground orchids, it's an outdoor person's paradise. 
Embrace the healing qualities of nature as you take in the amenities of this secluded mountain home at Huffman Creek Retreat. Whether you come for inspiration, relaxation, or adventure, this private mountain escape will provide just what you seek. It's certainly one of our very favorite places in the world, and we know it will quickly be one of yours too.
NOTES: 
WiFi is for lite web browsing, emails, short WiFi calls only.

Access is provided via key pad 24 hours before travel.

We are available should our guests need us but please note that we aim to be hands-off-helpful. We are here should you need assistance but value your privacy and want to make space for you and your friends / family to connect with one another without interruption. 

We are located in a rural area of Western Carolina. We welcome you to enjoy the sites and sounds of nature.
Arrival by personal vehicle is required (we do not have ride share services in our region) but we welcome you to park your car and enjoy the fresh air as you walk our private hiking trails and enjoy our creekside hammocks.
Please let us know if you are interested in grocery delivery, guided hiking services, fly fishing guides, or itinerary recommendations.
This is a great spot if you’re looking to relax and disconnect. If you’re looking for a city experience with restaurants, high speed internet, and delivery services, this is not the ideal spot.

Beautiful cabin in a great location
My family & I had a great time. This is the 1st cabin I've been to that had such a well stocked kitchen where I had to put away everything I brought up there. The location & property were beautiful. You can do some serious hiking on the land around the cabins. The cabin was clean & everything we expected it to be. Kali the property mgr is so helpful & sweet. We'd definitely come back again.

Wasn’t quite what I was expecting
Driveway was rocky and hard to navigate on bikes. Basement smelled of mold and mildew so wasn’t able to use bedroom due to intense odor. Shower water pressure was inconsistent and made showering not easy. Also doesn’t drain well leaving you standing in water. Wall unit hvac in main bedroom didn’t work.

Peaceful retreat
Our group of 5 adults stayed for one week with our dogs. The cabin was plenty big, the beds were comfortable, and we had all the kitchen equipment we needed for preparing our meals. We especially appreciated the opportunities to hike on property, near beautiful streams, with the dogs. We would definitely consider returning to Huffman Creek Retreat.

Fantastic stay on a beautiful property.
The directions to the property were spot on. The house was spotless and very nice. The only thing that might give someone caution with rent this house is that you have to go back a gravel road to get to it. If you're an inexperienced rider you may have a problem. We did not have any issues with bringing in our trailer or riding in and out. A group of Harleys didn't seem to have a problem either. I just think that you should know. We are looking forward to booking this property again. We had a great time and loved the house.

About the host

Hosted by Hunter Turner

Host profile image
Since 1986 our family has been escaping to the mountains of Robbinsville, North Carolina to reconnect with nature, explore, and of course create lifelong memories with our family. We have hiked every trail, taught our two boys to fish here, and shared endless gatherings with family and friends. Every season offers an exciting new set of adventures and scenery. The winter snow, spring wild flowers, summer trout, and fall leaves are just the beginning of what you can expect to find. We invite you to come create memories, share new adventures, and take in the sights and sounds of this nature escape.

Why they chose this property

After vacationing here as a child, we knew this was an experience we wanted to share with our children. Over the years, we searched for the perfect mountain home only to create our own private escape of several residences. Today we own seven mountain homes on nearly 1,000 acres at our Huffman Creek Retreat in Robbinsville and look forward to sharing them with you, your family, and friends.

What makes this property unique

When you arrive at the Homestead on Huffman Creek, it may take you a few minutes to unwind. Grab your favorite book - or e-reader - head to the porch, hot tub, hammock, or stream, and prepare for a trip of pure relaxation. Our favorite thing to do is prepare a 'breakfast extravaganza' each morning for the few early risers in the bunch. Prepare a pile of pancakes for those morning lovers and let the rest stay snuggled in bed. Best of all, by the time those morning lovers wrap up, the rest of us are about ready for a day of hiking, exploring, and sometimes napping. It's just the right size home to offer a good combination of gathering spaces and privacy.
