  This home is loved, it shows in thoughtful furnishings, native landscaping and stupendous views! And there is quiet; no planes, no cars,no houses, it was amazing to have such quiet peacefulness. The view was amazing, we wonder just how far we were seeing into the distance! It was cool in late July w/o air conditioning! We had a wonderful stay.

  We had such a wonderful time!!! It was so much more than we imagined! After a very challenging year, Twincreek Retreat was just what we needed. Total seclusion, quiet and lots of nature! The hiking trails near the cabin and sunset point were without a doubt a bonus feature to the cabin. A very well stocked kitchen was also nice for those like us who want to cook on vacation. I do believe the greatest feature for us was the ability to bring our pet! He loved walking around the grounds without a leash and collar. He would lay around on the deck and sun and sleep, he knew he was on vacation too! I’ll never forget our first night there, it was the most awesome views, the sunset was beautiful, dinner tasted better than ever before and bedtime was only made better by looking through the windows in front of the bed at the endless sky of stars! We will definitely be coming back to your cabin, but next time I do believe that it will be in a four wheel drive!!!!!! Thanks Jim for a wonderful stay and we will see you soon!

  After nearly two decades of vacationing with my wife and children, this is the only house we have visited more than once. Close to adventure and far from the worries of the world, our teenage boys love the close by activities (white water rafting, canoeing, horseback riding); my wife and I enjoy the simpler pleasures (cool mountain breezes, sipping coffee while watching the fog dissipate in the valley, sunsets, star and satellite gazing); the family enjoys long walks in the woods and quality time enjoying each others company. Jim's cabin is the perfect place to finish reading a book (or to start writing one). The sunsets, moon rises, and stars are more wonderful entertainment than anything on TV. Hiking to sunset point, black rock, or waterrock knob provides adventure right out the front door. An abundance of rivers, lakes, and riding trails are only a short drive away. Both years at Jim's cabin my wife and I have watched our two boys become best friends again. With none of the pressures from friends or the world, Jim's cabin provides the perfect environment for being a family. We had discussed going to the beach next year, but returning home everyone kept saying "next year at the cabin let's ..." Thanks Jim, for another fantastic week!

  Twin Creek Retreat --- This is a place to go if you love mother nature. Beautiful and peaceful are the operating words. It is truly a beautiful place and a great get away. The house is super clean, well designed, tastefully decorated, and above all is very functional and comfortable. We really appreciated the sun room which affords an awesome panoramic view of mountains and forests both up close and at far distances -- with a gorgeous skyline. The wood stove in the living room takes away any chill almost instantly. (We visited in late October.) In addition, there is a furnace. We were very glad a 4 wheel drive was recommended. It made all the difference in our confidence in climbing the steep, winding road up to the house, and we were glad we had not challenged our Camry to the task. It was a safe road, though I would not want to drive it in snow or ice. If you are a hiker, there are endless trails about -- and the views at the destinations are more than worthy of your efforts. If you enjoy reading, game playing, meditating, listening to music, watching dvd's in a quiet beautiful place, or cooking and grilling, there is no end to opportunity. Also, there is a place for a campfire if s'mores or hotdogs are your thing. We brought games, books, dvd's, cd's and all our food with us and were so glad we did. We only left once, and that was to view leaf colors in the lower elevations. Awesome, relaxing three days!

  I have been renting cabins for 25 years. It's my hobby. This is the first one that was exactly what it said it was. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The views are out of this world. You can see forever. One day was cloudy and you could watch the fog roll over the mountains and finally get to you. The Smoky Mountains! The down stairs bedroom offers privacy if needed and the top front bedroom has the wonderful view. The hiking is great from right out the door. You can take short hikes or all day hikes and never have to get in the car. The trip up the mountain is beautiful. The directions the owner has are very accurate and easy to follow. Plenty of pillows, blankets, and anything else you may need. Cherokee is an easy drive if you want to go into town. I took lots of food so I only left one time in the four days I was there. The only thing I missed the entire trip was a hot tub. I love to soak and look out at the mountains after a day of hiking. We built a fire int he pit and had hot dogs and marshmellows. It was just awesome!

  Owner response: These are the very reasons I built Twin Creeks in this parklike remote area. To retreat from the hectic world and enjoy nature and recharge.
