I stayed at Creek View cabin over Thanksgiving weekend and only wish my stay could have been longer. The views from the cabin are beautiful. The cabin was clean and was very accommodating. Bill & Liz were so nice. I definitely want to go back. Hot Springs is such a charming town.

My brother, a friend and I rented this cabin for three nights during mid-October for the fall colors. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. The cabin was cozy with a beautiful view and equipped with everything we needed.We hiked up to Max Patch for a picnic lunch, then spent the evening relaxing at the Hot Springs Spa. We definatley recommend this cabin for small parties.Recommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

My wife and I had a wonderful, if too short, visit at Heaven’s Place, and we couldn’t recommend it more to anyone looking to relax, enjoy the surroundings, enjoy each other, and just “be.” “Cozy” can sometimes be code for “cramped” but the house could easily accommodate four and the two full baths eliminate any awkward traffic jams you might encounter at other places. The house was so comfortable, so clean and had an open feel to it. You could never go outside and still have a relaxing stay, but the setting makes that a moot point. The rushing waters of the stream provide beautiful background music, while Bluff Mountain by day and the stars overheard by night add their own beauty. And the hammock on the stream bank that is completely secluded yet close to the house is a special treat. We very much enjoyed the extra care Bill and Liz took in outfitting the house. Fresh linens and towels, having the spices, condiments and dressings already on hand, and the original artwork decorating the house are things that are rarely offered but always appreciated. Being so close to the Max Patch Bald and the Appalachian Trail gave me what I hope is not a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore them, and a rafting excursion on the French Broad was another highlight of the trip. Heaven’s Place’s location really gives you the opportunity to do as much or as little as you wish. We were in the area attending events in Greeneville, Tenn. Our hope was to simply enjoy some scenery while avoiding a dreary hotel stay. s We left with much more than that!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We loved our stay with our lab at Creek View. Having rented many homes over the years we have experienced both ends of the spectrum - Bill and Liz have created a little haven in Hot Springs that is dedicated to the enjoyment of their guests. Totally equipped from towels to mustard; washer and dryer (good for those dirty clothes after treking and jumping in the creeks!); outdoor deck,enclosed porch; and a comfy LR for indoor time. Fire pit for fall evenings would be amazing but in summer no need to light a fire. We brought beach chairs and just moved them around the grounds as the sun moved. Always a breeze. There is a individual a/c unit in the LR; but opening doors and letting the breeze in was the best way to experience the mountain air. Evenings were always cool in July. There is a huge book detailing trails and streams around the area; where to go eat (bring "must have foods" as grocery stores are very basic) however, we found plenty from the local store in Hot Springs to grill out one night; Iron Horse was nice and there is a great cafe opened on weekends at Trust Store. Bill is there to answer any questions just a phone call away; and an invite to see his incredible studio should be a must. Meeting the owners is as much fun as seeing the area. I'd go back just to visit with them! Our lab was treated as a guest and she had a ball walking many stream side trails listed in the info book - jumping in for a swim; coming back to the cabin and hanging out in the yard watching the cattle across the drive. There is a wonderful spot through the wooded trail by the cabin with a hammock, chairs, and your own entrance to sit on rocks in the creek or do as we did and just plunk down in the stream. A wonderful getaway! Do not miss Max Patch, Laurel Trail and the Trails at the campgrounds down the road esp.with a dog; ours loved the water features.. All are listed in the cabin's book, with many more we were unable to get to but plan on going back to experience. There is a hose convenient to the back door to rinse off and towel dry your pet; nice thing to do to keep the cabin clean as the owners allow pets and respecting their "guest" quarters will assure they continue this policy. As you may know it is difficult to find such nice places that take pets!!! Creek View is maintained more as "guest house" than a rental house; that should be the quest for all rental properties! Well done Bill and Liz and Thank You for a special experience.Recommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

An excellent place to stay. The location was wonderful. It felt as you were away from it all but there was still TV, WiFi and a telephone with long distance calling available at no extra cost. Nice to relax on the deck part of which was screened. Lots of information about trails and local attractions. Max Patch was well worth the drive as were the trails at Rocky Bluff Campground. We have a teenage son who enjoyed it all, the WiFi and dierctv helped when we wanted to relax on the deck. We all went whitewater rafting (Huck Finn) and made side trips to Asheville and Gem Mountain (Spruce Pine approx. hour and 30 minutes away) where you really can find real gems. Bill and Liz are wonderful hosts who really care about their guests stay. They are laid back but available when you need them. They live close by but the cabin is still private. Roads are very windy and recommend arriving in daylight at least the first time and pick up groceries from Ingles on New Leicester Hwy (if coming in from Asheville) as choices limited near to cabin.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

We stayed at Creek View during the hottest week of the year! It was rough for a couple days because the heat was so excessive but we had a great vacation. This cabin has everyone one would need - tons of thoughtful touches from spices, fishing poles, hiking sticks, and picnic coolers to detailed trail maps, books and a charcoal-ready grill. This was by far the most "stocked" cabin I've ever stayed in. The owner was very nice. I even saw some of his artwork and jewelry at the ArtiSun Gallery in town and love the necklace and bracelet I purchased. Great place, loved it. If you are looking for tons to do, it is a 20 minute (9 curvy miles) to town (Hot Springs) and about a 45 minute ride to Asheville. Not that much in town, but enough to enjoy one's self. Solitude abounds, which was really nice. Lots of hikes in the area too.Recommended for: Pet owners, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

May 26 – June 1 My husband and I were looking for a place to unwind and we couldn’t have asked for more at the Creek View Cabin. The house was perfect, clean, well stocked, comfortable bed, ceiling fans on the warm days, and much more. My husband fly fished daily in the creek and caught several trout. I spent the days listening to music, beading jewelry on the kitchen table or on the porch. The surrounding environment is truly conducive to creativity. The landscapes are just beautiful. We also spent a day in Cherokee. My husband on a guided fly fishing trip and I took a jewelry beading class with some local ladies, which was a treat. As Northeasterners, we found everyone so warm and friendly. Bill and Liz were very gracious to share their studios, home and artwork. They are blessed to live in such an inspirational place. If you’re looking for a scenic, peaceful and serene vacation spot, this is it!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We spent a long weekend at the Creek View Cabin and just loved it. The owners are great people and extremely accommodating. The cabin itself was clean, well set-up and nicely furnished. The creek behind it is beautiful and was fun to fly fish for the small stocked trout. Evenings on the deck bring the comforting sounds of the creek and a firefly show the likes of which we have never seen. Hot Springs is close by and fun to explore with its quaint shops and restaurants. If you are looking for a mountain retreat for a relaxing and fun getaway, look no further. We highly recommend the Creek View Cabin.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

We had planned to attend the Bluff Mountain Festival and needed a place to stay. What a wonderful discovery when we found the Creek View Cabin. We booked it and were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived there. It was exactly as advertised. Bill and Liz are terrific hosts and made us feel so at home. The cabin is clean, comfortable, and well appointed, just like home. We had a terrific weekend both at the festival and at the cabin. Nothing could be better than relaxing around the fire pit or on the deck, watching the millions of fireflies, sipping some wine, and listening to the water rushing by. The cabin is about 9 miles from the quiet town of Hot Springs with lots of area history. We had a delicious breakfast at the Smoky Mountain Diner in town. We will definitely return and are already talking about booking Creek View Cabin for the fall color season. Thanks so much Bill and Liz for a wonderful weekend!!!Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2010
About the owner: I am a retired Art Professor and my wife, Liz, is a jewelry artist. We moved here from Harbor Island South Carolina about 10 years ago. I have digital prints at the Asheville Gallery of Art , Burr Studio in Waynesville and Miya gallery in Weaverville, I am also an adjunct instructor at AB Tech Community College. Liz has her lampwork beads and jewelry at the Iron Horse in Hot Springs and the Burr Studio. We are currently sharing our home with three cats and a golden retriever puppy called Madison.
Why the Owner Chose Hot Springs:
This cabin is about a quarter mile from our home. Since we have lived here for almost ten years it seemed natural to share this location with others. It is really a great place with a rushing creek, some cows, turkeys and deer as well as steep mountains all around. It is close to the town of Hot Springs and a comfortable drive to Asheville, Waynesville and Marshall. It is so remote and quiet compared to the activity of the city.
