  This cabin was everything the pictures and description identified and more. It was very clean, organized and did not have that old stuffy smell that hotel rooms have. It was easy to get to and there is a grocery store less than a mile away. We have vacationed in many different vacation homes/condos in different cities, so far this one has the most bed linens, towels, extra pillows, dishes and so forth. It was great not having to go buy extra towels and wash clothes to accomadate our stay. My kids (girls ages, 6 and 9) loved the creek, although there wasn't much water (dry/hot summer). I would recomend this vacation home to friends and family, not to mention we will be renting this one in the future.

  Owner response: Thanks so much for your kind review of our Creekside home in the Smokies. We take great pride in our place as it is our only place there and our families use it personally throughout the year.  Our kids love the creek as well and it does vary greatly from the rains from deep to a brook, but is always a place to let them stay cool and play.  On our linens, we like you have been frustrated with not enough. One reason this happens is when you have a big company doing your cleaning and laundry service, somehow things just disappear. We work with Nicole, a local lady we have know a long time and trust. She takes pride in her work and always makes sure we have more than enough linens and a clean fresh place to stay.  We really hope to have you back and make our place YOUR place in the Smokies anytime! P.s. we love to get fresh meats from Food City just down the road. They are great to grill on the back porch!  Good prices also as locals shop there.

  We stayed in your cabin for three days during a recent business trip to Gatlinburg. The location was perfect, only three miles away from the Gatlinburg Convention Center where we worked. The cabin was so much nicer than staying in a hotel which I have done in the past. Every morning I would sit on the enclosed back porch and enjoy my coffee while watching nature. I was visited by deer, ducks and a couple of playful squires. Thank you for sharing such a great little place so convenient to everything. Hope to return in the future!

  Owner response: Hey, Thanks for your kind response. We don't have a contract with the ducks and deer but they normally provide some visits. We, like you, really like the easy access to downtown. We don't actually use our car in many cases. There are sidewalks all the way to downtown. If you were to visit again you might even try using the trolley systems. We have a trolley stop right across the 321 road at a stoplight for easy crossing. We always try to keep our cabin neat and clean and appreciate you noticing. If you are back in the area we would love to have you stay at the CreeksideGatlinburg cabin again. Thanks again for your stay. Shawn Wilmoth, Owner Creekside Gatlinburg

  THE CABIN NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING, VERY DUSTY, CEILING FANS HAVE DIRT JUST HANGING OFF OF THE BLADES, KILLED 4 ROACHES, BACK PORCH FULL OF TREE DEBRIS. MOLDY SMELL UPON ENTERING CABIN THAT WOULD NOT GO AWAY. NO CABLE OR SATELITE TV & THE OWNERS ASKED US TO WASTE A DAY OF "OUR" VACATION TO WAIT FOR A REPAIRMAN. BATTERIES ON LOCK BOX TO THE FRONT DOOR WENT DEAD, TRIED FOR AWHILE TO GET IN BEFORE HAVING TO CALL OWNER. VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE!!! ALSO VERY BAD LOCATION. THIS CABIN WAS OFF THE MAIN ROAD NEXT TO THE CITY MAINTENANCE BLDG. & IMPOUND LOT (NOT VERY QUIET AT ALL). WILL NEVER EVER STAY HERE AGAIN. WHERE WERE THOSE DUCKS? NEVER SAW A SINGLE ONE.

  The description of the cabin was accurate. The photos reflected the appearance and amenities. The property was clean and well maintained. The owner was very helpful in answering questions. We got locked out of the house and I called the owner and he helped us to get back in. I would recommend this property to friends and relatives. It was also near everything that we went to see. It was like being at home. This is a great place for senior citizens or people with disabilities because it is all on one level and there are no stairs to climb. Also it isn't way up a mountain; it's on flat land. We loved our stay there. I would recommend that they add a bar to hold on to in the tub.

  My wife and I stayed in this particular cabin due to simple fact that it was very close to town, yet secluded. We did stay over Labor day weekend so it was very busy in the area which took away from some of the quietness that we were looking for, but I am sure that some people will not be bothered by this. The cabin was nicely decorated, and it is obvious that the owners do take pride in the property. They were very quick to respond before, during and after our stay. We would consider staying here again when returning to the area.

  Owner response: Thanks so much for your review! We appreciate your stay and consideration for the future. We really enjoy the cabin personally and really take pride in decor and personal attention (as we stay there too!). Please let us know if we can ever help you in the future, we would love to have you as a guest any time.

  Our family had a great week in Gatlinburg! The cabin was nice and close to town so very convenient! The kids enjoyed the creek and ducks!!

  Owner response: Thanks so much for your Spring Break comments! It means a ton when folks take the time to type up a note like this. We really appreciate it and we know others do also. This is a great place for families and kids. The ducks really seem to never let folks down. Get your corn and your bread ready if you get to stay at our cabin. This is truly and example of making "our Gatlinburg place on the creek", "your Gatlinburg place on the creek", for spring break!

  My family had a great time at this cabin. The house is clean and is nicer in person than it appears in the online photos. My 3 children had a great time playing in the creek and feeding the ducks. The ducks came to the backyard each morning and even showed up late one afternoon while we were grilling hamburgers. We were prepared with bread to feed them! The Nintendo 64 and flat screen TVs were also a big hit. We ate breakfast one morning at the Mountain Lodge Restaurant which is just down the street. It was delicious and not crowded; it appeared to be where the "locals" eat. We also recommend Best Italian Pizza (we ate at the original location). We also did some hiking in the National Park which is a short drive through downtown Gatlinburg. The kids had a great time playing miniature golf on the mountain side at Hill Billy Golf. The owner was quick to respond to my e-mails and phone calls. We would definitely recommend this cabin to friends and family!

  Owner response: Thanks so much for you kind comments, Ali. You are right, photos just domt do justice to the decor our wives have done. We like you, enjoy the Mountain Lodge for breakfast. Our kids also really enjoy going up to the cabin and feeding those regulars, the ducks! We hope this is the first of many stays for you and your family at our creeksidegatlinburg cabin! See you soon!

  We were able to stay for 6 nights in this wonderful cabin that is close to EVERYTHING. The owners were very prompt with answers to any questions, which is awesome since I managed to lock myself out. The ducks came to visit us as well. The furnishings are beautiful and the whole place feels like home. I would defenitely recommend this cabin and hope to return myself.

  Owner response: Glad to hear of your stay! We feel that way when we stay as well... Perfect! Good to know those ducks are sticking to our "contract" with them! They always seem available for a visit. We have worked hard on the furnishings to make it a special place to stay. Thanks for your kind words about the decor. I look forward to you coming back soon, and don't worry, you aren't the first to lock yourself out nor the last, I bet! I am glad we could quickly get you back in! We always keep our cell phone on! See you soon!

  We loved this cabin because it was close to town, nature, and very private. And you do not have to navigate the steep curvy mountain roads to get to it! GPS could not find the road, glad the owners gave great directions. The cabin was very clean and neat, kitchen was very well equipped. Loved the pottery, colors, and art throughout the cabin. My little boy was fascinated by feeding the ducks in the creek. We loved watching from the deck as a buck and 4 doe ate their breakfast. Owners are very nice to work with and returned calls promptly. We are hoping for a return stay in the spring/summer!

  Owner response: Hey, you guys sound like we do when we stay! I tell folks that call about our cabin about the deer and ducks. I tell them that we see them about every time we go. But they are not "under contract" but normally show up! Also I always suggest the popcorn in a jar for feeding times. The convenience is really great as we walk downtown most stays. Thanks very much for your kind comments and your offer to share them with others. We hope to see you again soon.

  We had a really great time at your cabin. The kids (girl age 8 and boy age 13) really enjoyed the creek - looking for minnows and crawdads. The ducks came by every day and we enjoyed feeding them popcorn or bread from the back deck. We had a great time in Gatlinburg. Took one day to go down to Franklin NC (fantastic drive through the Smoky Mountains) for a day of gem mining (my daughter found a large ~70 carat sapphire and my son a really nice emerald!). We will definitely do that again. And, another day at Dollywood (our first time). We had such a great time and we look forward to coming back again.

  Owner response: Hey, This is what we like to hear, and do often in our guest book in the cabin. We appreciate you sharing your time with others on our VRBO listing. We can't guarantee the ducks but they are always there when we we go! I hope next time you see some of the deer in the early morning. Corn left at night helps! It is great that we own the property and our property line goes to the the other side of the creek! It sure beats a chlorine filled swimming pool! I think your comments will help others with young family members create a time to remember at our cabin. We are glad you had fun and hope to see you again soon!
