This was our second stay at the property and it was just as amazing as the first. The location is close enough to easily enjoy everything the area has to offer, yet private enough to completely relax and take in the sounds of the creek and wildlife. The host is incredibly welcoming and responsive. We visit this area at least once a year and this has become our favorite spot.

Our stay at Up The Creek was outstanding and met all of our expectations. The cabin is outstanding with a magnificent view of the creek and is perfectly decorated and well stocked to make sure we had everything we might need. We spent time hiking the creek and also we're very close to the parkway and spent some time on the mountain to sea trail. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed at the cabin and was extremely responsive ever. We had a question or needed anything. I highly recommend this property, especially if you love the outdoors and playing in the nature.

Our stay was one of the best experiences we’ve had. The cabin was beautiful and perfect for our family of 4. The creek was a lot of fun, we visited it every day after our day of adventure in Boone and Banner Elk. The porch was nice for relaxing and listening to the waterfalls. Our host Renee made check in super easy.
