My family and I (wife and two boys 7 & 9) stayed here the week before Christmas 2011 and had a wonderful time! The boys had a blast playing outside by the creek, riding their bikes down the gravel road, and walking our dog. My wife and I just enjoyed the quiet. We were looking for a quiet, peaceful, and restful stay and that's exactly what we received at this cabin. My boys love being home, but they didn't want to leave the cabin. We will be back!

We spent Thanksgiving weekend on Neil's Creek, and had a wonderful time. The cabin is literally right on the creek! The water rushes over the stones and makes a lovely sound. From the porch, you are literally facing the Black Mountains and their high peaks. The cabin is located within walking distance of two gorgeous waterfalls. If you enjoy a walk in the woods and beautiful scenery, you can't go wrong staying here! We took our doggies with us, and enjoyed all the hiking trails surrounding the cabin, and my husband stayed on the river with his new fly fishing rod! The cabin itself has everything you would ever need inside. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner there and the kitchen had everything we needed for the "big meal". The beds were comfy ~ which is not always the case when you are not in your own! It was wonderful having a washer and dryer in the cabin, too. Lee and Maggie were fabulous to work with and are A+ folks. They made arranging our trip simple. I would definitely return to the Cabin on Neil's Creek!

Owner response:October is our most popular month with the beautiful Fall colors, but the color change often starts in late September, and we think the Fall and Winter is often underrated. Thanksgiving in a cabin puts the holiday in a really cool light - and the kitchen has all the equipment for the holiday meal.

We rented the cabin the last week of oct.08.The stream was a wonderful place to relax and get away from the hum-drum of every day work. During the middle of the week 2inches of snow fell,and that made the trip from Florida worth while after the long drive.we are seniors and this was the best vacation in years!!!Also,the cabin was great, nice and cozy with the fireplace.Thank you for a great time!!!!

The cabin was really cute and eclectic/country and very clean. All the utensils for cooking and eating are supplied, minimizing the items needed to be brought in. Our only disappointment was that there is now a split rail fence blocking the view and use of the creek. The sound of the creek was very relaxing! We really enjoyed our weekend stay. Jim & Deb

Owner response:That split rail fence came down in a hurricane blow about a year after your stay. What is now split rail is on the deck itself. Maggie & Lee

Nice place to get away!

This was a wonderful place to stay. It had plenty of room and was beautifully decorated. The fireplace warmed the house up nicely. The creek behind it was absolutely beautiful! The only problem is that while exploring, we were told we were trespassing and to stay on our side of the creek. Bummer for the kids! You can really relax here since you get no cell phone service for quite a few miles on the highway. It was a nice change! It was nice to be so close to the Parkway. We will definately try to stay here again!

What a great time we had in this cabin! From the time we got there, to the time we left, every moment in between was a pure joy. Great scenery, great amenities, great fun...all at our family's fingertips for the whole visit! We will definitely plan another visit...only the next time will be longer! :) Thanks!

Our Family stayed at the Neil Creek cabin for the Thanks Giving week 11/17 - 11/23. It was fantastic. We hiked, fished, went to GrandFather Mt., Gem Mt. (the kids loved that), Blowing rock, Asheville. It was fun. My youngest daughter didn't want to leave (neither did I). Hope to visit again. John L.

This place was more than I expected! Quiet, serene, and all the comforts of home, more really! The owners have thought of every thing and didn't skimp! It was clean, well-stocked, neat, and just plain cute! I felt like this was a friend's home and they wanted us to have a wonderful time. And we did!

We loved our time here! We rented both cabins for a family get together; and they both were absolutly wonderful! Plenty of room and greatly appointed... I could have stayed forever! The natural setting was perfect... and the Black Bear walking by on Tuesday AM was the icing on the cake! I think we are all coming back next year and hopefully the bear too!

This cabin is great!! It was very comfortable and also very clean. It is in an excellent location. We love Mount Mitchell and also loved being close to so many hiking trails. The hike to the top of Mount Mitchell was very challenging, but we all three made it up (one made it down to come back and get the rest of us).

The cabin was absolutely perfect for my family and I. The creek directly behind the cabin is so soothing. We hike up and down lots of trail and saw at least 5 waterfalls on the mountain plus it snowed while we were there being from fla that was an experiance all its own if i were to recommend a place for someone to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city this would be it
