This was an absolutely fantastic spot to spend a week in the mountains. David was a fantastic host who went above & beyond to answer our questions, and the property was gorgeous and close to so many fun spots for the kids & adults. I cannot recommend enough!
We loved staying at David’s cottage! It’s the cutest cottage. Beautifully decorated. The master bed was so comfortable! We loved the master bath as well. We spent most of our time on the huge porch listening to the creek below. We cooked a lot and the kitchen had everything we needed. We were able to bring our black lab Sadie with us too and she loved hiking the area! We can’t wait to be back to creeksde cottage!
We loved Creekside Cottage. The location is beautiful and the cottage is comfortable and well appointed, with all the comforts of home. Everything is easy and well communicated. Much better than staying in a hotel!
The steep driveway was a surprise, but not unexpected in the area.
The house is beautiful, comfortable and in a beautiful location. The owner east to communicate with for any questions you may have. The back porch is wonderful for relaxing and listening to the creek.
This property was secluded, the VRBO description was spot on. The sound of the creek was so relaxing. Sitting on the covered deck, listening to the creek was so very relaxing. Would return with no hesitation.
We had an amazing time again! Beautiful home. Comfortable and cozy! Love the tranquil sounds of the creek. Hiked in panther town valley and had an awesome lunch at the Greystone Inn!
The house is beautiful and comfortable. We loved, loved, loved the back large deck listening to the birds and the creek down below. The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed and a nice soaking tub. The only dislike was the very steep driveway. We found the location to be convenient to town or state park.
Booked as a quick getaway in the mountains for my wife and I . Home was clean , very well decorated , comfortable and kitchen fully equipped ! Setting was wonderful and serene on a nice mountain stream . Close to Saphire , Cashiers and Highlands . Plenty of great hiking nearby … both touristy hiking areas as well as remote mountain trails leading to waterfalls and views . Definitely recommend !
This was the best possible place for our month-long getaway from Florida heat! The house is beautifully appointed, fully equipped in every way, and truly close to everything. The host was very responsive to my few questions and his check-in was effortless. This is our 3rd trip to Sapphire Valley and our favorite house. Had deer and a bear pass through the yard, too.
No outside grill, but no problem. Tons of hiking and waterfalls nearby. Use All trails (free app) for details. Enjoy!nearby restful.
We loved sitting on the covered deck and listening to the creek. The single level floor plan was also great. Everything was super clean and perfect for us.
The house was absolutely lovely, very clean and David was so easy to work with. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back in the future.

About the host
Hosted by David Bennett
I live in Florida and enjoy traveling and spending time in the mountains enjoying nature and the cooler temperatures in Western North Carolina. The Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area is filled with great hiking and has numerous waterfalls that will take your breath away.
Why they chose this property
I first visited the Sapphire Valley years ago while visiting my parents in Asheville and knew that I wanted a little getaway of my own. I found this house and knew it would be a wonderful place to spend a few week each year relaxing.
What makes this property unique
The Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area is unique in its beauty, peace and so many outdoor activities to enjoy. The great restaurants, art galleries and shopping are the added bonus for those who like to spend a little time indoors.
