Brasstown Creek House--3 Mi. from John C. Campbell Folk School

The most relaxing week I’ve ever had. For me it was a total disconnect and much needed down time. My only break in more than six years of care giving. Sandra is a wonderful host and promptly addressed some light bulbs that blew out my second day there. Highly recommend for R & R.

The front porch overlooks a babbling creek and offers rocking chairs to relax are ponder... nice private bedrooms with spacious bathrooms all set in the hillside....sunrises over the hills are a must see!

First of all, if I had noticed that the check-in time was from 3-5pm only, I would have never booked it. The owner was very understanding and hospitable, a little too hospitable for a couple that wanted away from everything. As a couple, we were looking for seclusion. We didn't find it here as many traveled up and down the driveway right in front of the cabin during our stay. Most of them weren't traveling at a slow speed either. We're pretty sure that while we were gone on Saturday, the flower beds were cleaned out or someone dug for worms in them. We felt that intruded on our privacy as renters of the cabin. The towels and wash clothes were soured and musty smelling. Overall the cabin was very clean and the creek was perfect. It would be a perfect place to stay if you have children that would like to play in the creek. It just wasn't what we were looking for.

Cabin rentals are sometimes like activities at the Harrah's Casino a few miles up the road...a gamble which may or may not return big rewards. Brasstown Creek House falls into the former category, with easy access to most of the "border towns" in that part of GA and NC, great scenery and a not-so-busy road system. It is possible to explore many hidden valley and "cove" areas within just a few miles of this property, and also possible to dead-end into an impassible (for 2-WD vehicles) mountain road.

Conveniences such as major grocery stores and good local restaurants are within 15 minutes of the driveway.

The Hyatt family have been renting this house to guests for quite some time and are welcoming and helpful. Although I didn't require guidance provided by their local knowledge, I knew that if I asked it would cheerfully be provided.

If you're in the mood to drop out of the rat race, this is the place to do it.

very nice cabin over looking the river easy access for fishing or soaking your feet we enjoyed the hot tub and the beds the owner of the property made us feel very much at home we even had a very friendly dog greet us every morning with a long howl she likes muffins marilyn and chuck
