We had a wonderful time at the Collett Creek Cabin. The owners were spot on with their description of this amazing retreat and so easy to work with. The cabin and grounds were beautiful, clean and spacious. The trails on the property were an unexpected treat. They were well marked and clear. The creek is so nice to hear, see and fish in. We will be recommending this beautiful spot to our friends and relatives. Thanks Lindy for making our stay so wonderful.

Owner response:Thank you so much for the wonderful reviews. We really appreciate it and hope that you will come back again in the near future. Bring some friends, too! Glad to hear that you feel the same way as we do about the area/cabin. It's God's country for sure! Lindy

Everything was wonderful from the beginning to the end of our trip at this amazing Cabin. The owners were so helpful and very easy to deal with. The cabin was just as advertised. Clean, spacious and welcoming. We loved every minute of our stay here on Collett Creek. The trails on the property were a special surprise that we took advantage of. Private, peaceful and so lovely. We plan to come back as soon as possible.

Your cabin was the perfect medicine I needed after two very hectic weeks at work. The seclusion was just what I needed. "Thank You" for providing so much to make our stay enjoyable. Your cabin is absolutely beautiful-the setting just set my soul ablaze with all of God's grandeur..I dearly love the mountains and it was a blessing to be in the hot tub and enjoy the beauty!

Great escape from reality! The creek level is low but through the crystal clear water, you can see the rainbow of colored stones. Both dogs are begging for a creek in our backyard, so they can splash at home! :)

"This place provided the sanctuary we needed to escape our hectic life...It was fun to get out & explore but we were always happy to come back to our secluded getaway at the end of the day. Best hot tub I've ever been in! The kids loved the creek, the hot tub, and of course roasting marshmellows on the camp fire. I loved getting up in the morning before everyone else woke up, and walking up the creek. The whole area is beautiful and a great place to reconnect. Loved the cabin and the trees.:)"

Wonderful Secluded Cabin

Guest: John (Natchitoches, LA)
Date of Stay: 07/13/10 Review Submitted: 07/19/10

We just spent three nights at the Collett Creek Cabin and we couldn't be more pleased with the accommodations. First of all, even though the cabin is close to town, groceries, restaurants, etc., it is marvelously secluded, with a creek running alongside the large deck and hot tub. Very relaxing! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Beds were very comfortable. Also, the cabin is convenient to Smoky Mountains Park, Asheville, and Nanthala River recreational area. If you're looking for a relaxing "getaway" cabin in a breathtaking area of the country, this rental is just the ticket!

Owner response:John, thank you so much for the wonderful review of our cabin! I believe you are the first renter to place a review on this site. We are so pleased that your stay was everything you thought it would be and then some! I hope next time you can stay a bit longer and really take advantage of all the cabin and surrounding areas have to offer...it is truly a slice of paradise in God's country! Thanks again and we hope to hear from you again in the near future. Todd and Lindy Smith

Just a quick note to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at the Collett Creek Cabin. When you said it was secluded you weren't kidding! We loved the peace and quiet and the sound of the creek, and during the day we had a chance to go to Smoky Mtn National Park as well as the Biltmore Mansion. Otherwise we just relaxed and recharged our batteries. The cabin was exactly as described: incredibly cozy and comfortable. We look forward to visiting the area again sometime and we'll keep your cabin in mind when we start making our plans! Best wishes, John
