About this property

Creekside Family Getaway! Can't get any closer to the water than this!

Creekside Family Getaway! Cant get any closer to the creek than this! Perfect for families who want to spend time playing in and enjoying the sounds of the creek! Only 3 miles from downtown Bryson City!

There's lots of flexibility in this cozy creekside cabin which sleeps 6. There's a private bedroom downstairs with a queen bed; and a spacious sleeping loft with 4 twin beds upstairs. The covered porch with rockers overlooks a campfire area below at water's edge. Its hard to get any closer to the creek than this cabin! Enjoy the relaxing sounds of Lands Creek flowing right outsider your windows!

Gas log fireplace
Satellite TV
Full kitchen
One full bath
Linens, towels

Cabin was clean and well stocked. In a secluded area but not too far from town. The creek by the cabin was wonderful. Owner was responsive to communication and seen often around the grounds and very welcoming! We enjoyed our stay and will be visiting again in the future! It was just the right amount of homey feeling after a day of hiking and exploring!

Secluded and Peaceful

The location is very cute and well maintained. Being by the creek was the highlight of the trip. Only complaint we have is that some of the furniture needs upgrading, mainly the sofa and mattress downstairs. Was very nice to have plenty of grassy areas for walking our dog.

Super easy check in. Host was great. Cabin stocked well. Setting was serene and peaceful, perfect for a much needed quick break. Don’t be like me……. Remember your cabin name or screen shot your info. Phone carrier signal was a little spotty (Verizon) trying to pull info but once there they have wifi available.

So peaceful and quiet. Mr. Robin and everyone we came in contact with were very friendly and accommodating. My grandsons LOVED playing in the creek, making s’mores at the firepit (thanks to Mr. Robin for hunting us down some roasting sticks) and chasing fireflies at night! This was our first trip to the property but will NoT be our last!!

Short weekend getaway

The property was so beautiful and peaceful. The cabin we stayed in was just like the pictures posted. The perfect mountain getaway for any group. Pet friendly and my golden retriever enjoyed every minute playing in the creek and playing fetch in the meadow. No through traffic was also a huge plus.

Serene retreat

Our family had a relaxing vacation in the beautiful mountains thanks to Lands Creek Cabin rentals. The setting was serene and property was very well maintained. The staff were very helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. This cabin was just far enough out of Bryson City to feel secluded but not too far that it was inconvenient to run into town for a quick bite. We cannot wait to go back and stay there again!

Welcoming & Relaxing

Robin, Sue, and their team do a great job of maintaining the property. The process from beginning to end was very easy. Our cabin was clean, comfortable, well equipped, and an easy drive to Bryson City, Cherokee, and other day trip destinations. Robin and Steve were very helpful in educating us on things to do in the area. Quiet, relaxing, and welcoming - we highly recommend the location and property! A lot of cabin options to choose from.

Just what we needed!!!

What an amazing hidden gem!! Let me just start by saying that this place is magical!! The location is far enough to give you the feel of being in the middle of nowhere, and close enough to have easy access to stores, coffee shops and the groceries. The cabin is super cozy and welcoming, everything you need is there!! We always have issues with hotels and rentals of not having towels enough for all of us (5 with 3 girls with long hair) and to my surprise there were probably a dozen big towels and more of the smaller ones. The kids loved playing up and down the creek and exploring the area. It really gave us the sense of relaxation we were looking for!! We will definitely book again for our next year vacation!!!

Loved staying in the deer run cabin

Great property, helpful owners what more can you ask for? A few cabins on property so would be great for families traveling together but needing their own space. Property was very well maintained. Road in was a little scary, but only because not used to mountain roads! I loved staying in Bryson City. Quaint town with very nice people. I highly recommend tubing in Deep Creek. Being from Florida we tube the springs here. Completely different experience. It was beautiful and a ton of fun. Of course you have the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad in town too , with lots of experiences. We enjoyed their raft and rail trip. Having the box lunch helped us. It is not the world’s best sandwich, but I have paid more for worse. I wished we had focused more on just enjoying Bryson City and the Great Smokey Mountain National park. Loved the somewhat close to town with out feeling I was in town.

Memorial Day Weekend Family Getaway!

Highly recommended! We rented the ‘Deer Run’ cabin for Memorial Day weekend. We got there about 2 hours before the actual check in time. The owners didn't mind, and in fact were ready for us. They allowed us to check in 2 hours early! Had an employee in a golf cart greet us as soon as we pulled through. Meet the owners who stay on property not long after we pulled into the cabin to greet us as well.Along, with it being in a great location, the cabins are just enough isolated from one another to have privacy and still have the camp ground feel to it. Tons of outdoor space for the kids to run free. Swings around a fire pit. A little wooden structure with a slide. My son’s favorite, the BIG red chair! Supplied PLENTY of towels & wash rags for our family of 4 & and a toddler in the cabin. Only thing we really brought were toiletries & food.Owners hospitality has got to be the best thing about the place. They really do want their guest to feel at home. My parents repeatedly raved about how nice of a spot it is out there! We will definitely be back to Lands Creek Log Cabins!

About the host

Hosted by Robin Fronrath

Host profile image
We became a part of Bryson City and its people in July of 1999 when we purchased the property that would become Lands Creek Log Cabins. As with many of our friends, we’d visit the Great Smoky Mountains as often as we could and each time it was tougher to go back home. From the first time we drove into this valley and alongside Lands Creek we knew we were meant to be here.

Robin moved up to start working on the site and building cabins in July of 2000. Sue, along with sons Josh and Kyle followed in June 2001. What later became the Squirrel’s Nest Cabin was the only cabin here when we began.

Lands Creek Log Cabins is a business built by the efforts and belief of family and friends. It is a true “family business” in every sense.

By the efforts of many we have grown a great deal in our time. Our grounds are now at 100 acres and the home to 19 wonderful cabins and The Lands Creek Lodge. At the center of it and down by the creek is Harmony Hall.

As we have grown, we have had one goal at the foundation of our business: To touch peoples’ lives in a positive way and to provide the opportunity for memories.

— Robin & Sue Fronrath
