My family and I had such a wonderful stay at the cottage. We spent the holidays here and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The cottage is very cozy and inviting and was the perfect place to relax and enjoy some time off. The surrounding area also provided many activities for when we wanted to be more active. We loved visiting the national forest and the Land of Waterfalls!

Great Vacation Spot

Date of Stay: 11/05/11 Review Submitted: 11/19/11

The listing described the property perfectly and the photo shows the side (main) entrance just as it is. The property was spotless and everything in it was well maintained. The owner and I spoke several times on the phone and she was instrumental in my decision to stay at her cottage. It is located in a great spot for my husband and I to ride our motorcycle. Our friends visited while we were there and since it was their first time to NC for vacation the cabin was in a great spot to travel from to Dillsboro, Gatlinburg, and Ashville. We spent an entire day roaming around in Brevard (20 minutes from the cabin). There are wonderful stores there and a GREAT antique mall full of treasure. We caught trout which I grilled, built a fire in the fire pit and explored the hill above the cottage. We also grilled steaks one night on the gas grill. Everything we needed was available. We will definitely stay there again.

Owner response: I am glad that you found the cottage in a great location to ride your bikes and explore the NC beauty. We look forward to hearing from you again!

We were very impressed with how well appointed Creekside Cabin was in terms of blankets, cookware, dishes, comfortable furniture and general hominess throughout. The property has many special treats including the creek beside the property, the pond rife with trout and the numerous wild flowers. The cabin was accurately represented by the description and was very welcoming. The bathrooms had been beautifully and efficiently upgraded. All of our inquiries and contact with the owners and caretakers were met with friendly and helpful responses. I highly reccommend it for itself as well as the proximity to wonderous outdoor delights.

Owner response:Rick: Thank you for choosing to vacation at Creekside Cottage. We are so pleased that you found every thing that you needed to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. Thanks for feeding the fish!! We hope to see you again next year.

Happy Flatlanders

Just returned home after spending one of the most relaxing weeks ever in this cottage. The property is so nice and quiet with several nooks made for reading and great big windows for watching the birds and chipmunks in the birdfeeders. The location was private, but not isolated, and centrally located for various day-trips - to Asheville, Brevard, the Blue-Ridge Parkway, waterfalls, country stores, orchards, lakes - all the things and places we flatlanders love to visit! I could go on and on - next I'll want to bore you with my vacation photos! It was just a perfect week that I'll remember for many years to come.

Owner response:Frances: It was great to have you return to Creekside Cottage for your vacation. We love it when we have repeat renters because that lets us know your are pleased. We too are flat landers, and we appreciate the beauty of the mountains and streams. Our favorite adventure is finding new waterfalls and hikes to see majestic views. Hope to see you again next year!

This was our second visit to Creekside Cottage, and we again had such an amazing time! The house is located in an area with so much to do nearby. This time, we had 4 adults, 2 babies, and our 2 dogs-the house and property is big enough so that we were all comfortable, and had plenty of room to spare! A fully stocked kitchen helped us cook fabulous meals which we enjoyed eating at the dining table while watching the birds, hummingbirds, and even bunny rabbits outside the dining room window. The house is furnished very comfortably, has wifi, and the jucuzzi tub is just another one of the many perks this house offers.......our little grand-daughter and our doggies just loved running through the big field, feeding the fish in the pond, and exploring the stream on the property-it is such a great property! We didn't even have time to enjoy the swing or the fire pit and picnic table outside! Next year when we return, we'll plan more time here. Have rented other homes on VRBO, but this one so far is our favorite!

Owner response:We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. We love it when our families come back again. We too enjoy watching the birds, ground squirrels, etc. while we are eating our breakfast. The cottage is great for relaxing by the creek or exploring nearby waterfalls. See you next year!

The cottage is located on a beautiful lot, with a bubbly creek, a big level field for games, and a pond filled with big trout. Our grandchildren loved to feed the fish! Highway 178 is fairly busy, but calms down at night. The only negative was that the cottage was dusty and dirty. There are plenty of linens, blankets, kitchen items, and DVD's. It is a very comfortable home, which stays cooler than Brevard. Give it a try!

Owner response:We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Creekside Cottage. Thanks for feeding the fish! We are in our 7th year of renting the cottage and this is the first time anyone has every made any kind of negative comment about dust under the beds. We work very hard to be sure that the cottage is very clean and that our guest have every thing that they need. Thank you for your comment and thank you for choosing to vacation at Creekside Cottage.

Private Cottage at Great Location - Bold Creek - Trout Pond

Guest: mary from new york (Seaman)
Date of Stay: 05/25/09 Review Submitted: 06/03/11

What an amazing place to relax, regenerate and enjoy. We found the cottage to be beyond our expectations in all areas - cleanliness, ease of use, privacy, well set up kitchen and so much more. After days of traveling and visiting family and friends, this was a quiet haven for us. Visiting the pond each day to feed the fish was delightful. The last day of our stay we were honored by the resident goose as she proudly displayed her baby goslings. Sandra and her daughter were pleasant and most helpful when we called about an issue with the cable TV. They resolved it in a manner of minutes. The refund for the deposit check came in the mail within days of our stay. Truly a delightful experience in every way. We will return whenever we get the opportunity. mary and dan from NY

Comfortable Cottage close to Brevard, N.C.

We had a very enjoyable week at Creekside Cottage. The flowers around the property are absolutely wonderful and we also enjoyed watching all the different birds at the various feeders. The location is perfect for getting to all the waterfalls that we wanted to hike and still is convenient to the town of Brevard and those great little white squirrels. Oh, and I must admit - we were daily visitors to Ingle's too! Enjoyed the new kitchen and all the special "bear" touches around the cottage. Thanks for having a great cottage and allowing our furry friends as they had a terrific time too.

Owner response:We are so pleased that you enjoyed your vacation at Creekside Cottage. We also enjoy watching the many different birds. I love the pictures that you took of the creek on the property and the pictures of the nearby waterfalls. See you next year!

Spring Break Getaway

Creekside Cottage is now our favorite place to stay in North Carolina. Our family has had a wonderful time, including our beagle Daisy. The kids had a blast playing in the creek and fishing at the pond. They also love running around in the field with Daisy. Springtime is a great time to visit with all the Dogwood Trees and flowers blooming. It was perfect weather for the hikes at Pisgah and canoeing down the French Broad River. My husband even went fly fishing for the first time and had a great time. We look forward to our next visit, many thanks!!!

Owner response:Thank you for your comments. I am sure the children and family pet enjoyed playing in the creek and the local canoeing trip. I know the blooms and flowers must have been really pretty in the spring. Thanks for feeding the fish! We will look forward to hearing from you next year.

We were looking for a place to spend spring break with our 4 kids, but didn't want to stay in a hotel. I searched and searched for the perfect place and I found it in Creekside Cottage! It is very cozy and comfortable even for our large family. Our children range from age 3 - 9 and all of them had a great time! They loved feeding the fish and playing the games provided there. They played frisbee in the big front yard and we had a campfire and made s'mores. We even caught a few trout to grill. It was our best family trip ever and we will definitely be back!

Owner response:Thank ;you for the review. We are so pleased that your family vacation was all that you wanted. I am also glad that you enjoyed the water fall tour information that we provided, and I am glad the fishing was good!! I hope to hear from you again next year.
