About this property

Clean, Comfortable, Single-Story on Rushing Compass Creek w/ Private Swim Pond

Enjoy the spectacular views of the beautiful Tusquittee Valley to and from this family-friendly retreat that is secluded, but not remote. It’s easy to find, but really hard to leave.

The comfortably furnished single-story cabin is easily accessed up gradual rise on a graded gravel road (no scary mountain climbs!). The great room with gas log fireplace is cozy enough for two, yet spacious enough to accommodate family gatherings.

Guests RAVE about our incredibly well-equipped designer kitchen. There are two bedrooms furnished with queen beds , each with their own bathrooms, plus a bunkroom with twin beds adjacent to one of the bedrooms. 100% cotton sheets and towels, attached 2-car garage, central heat/AC, Wi-Fi, satellite TV, phone, DVDs, board games and puzzles are among the amenities galore.
Kick back and relax on one of two porches, enjoy s’mores on the firepit, nap in the hammock, play in the creek, float in the pond or get out and explore! Easy walking to moderately strenuous hiking is just outside the door on lovely wooded private roads and foot trails to NC and National Forest Lands. Many local/regional activities, attractions and events await!

Fish Compass Creek, nearby renowned Tusquittee Creek or canoe the nearby Hiawassee River. A great grocery store, golf courses and popular Lake Chatuge with beach-front picnic areas, playground and boat launches (rentals available) are just minutes away.
Clay County is a great base camp for a variety of memorable day trips: Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Joyce Kilmer National Forest, The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, rafting the Nantahalla, the Smoky Mountain Scenic Railway, etc. Tourist meccas Helen, GA, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN and Cherokee Casinos are all within a 1-2 hour drive.

Bikers love the scenic and well-maintained roads of Clay County and the famed 'Tail of the Dragon' is just an hour away. (The property has plenty of room for your toy trailer). Mountain bikers will enjoy the nearby Jackrabbit Mountain trails that offer a variety of trails of varying challenge levels.

Other rental properties within walking distance make this an ideal location for family reunions. Great for when you want to be close to friends and family, but not necessarily under the same roof... (Contact information available.)

Everything you need is right here at your new 'home away from home'. Once you’ve experienced Compass Creek, you’ll want to return time and again and you just won't find a better Smoky Mountain vacation bargain!

So Relaxing !

We had the best time . Floating in the pond and hiking in the creek. The screened in porch right over the pond was our hub. We played board games and shared meals . We reconnected as a family and it was amazing . Fireworks in Hiawasee on the mountain . Can’t say enough it was just so great!!

Cozy Creek retreat

Such a cozy home with all the kitchen amenities as well as outdoor games and fishing fun. The fire pit sits along a lovely creek that will sweep away all of your worries! The owners have thought of everything and this home is number 1 for convenience and comfort! I will definitely return!

Heavenly stay

We absolutely loved staying here!!! Sitting on the screened in porch overlooking the pond and listening to the creek was so relaxing. The fire pit was great too. We were able to visit some waterfalls and go tubing as well. It was definitely nice to have a garage to park in. I would definitely recommend staying here. The owners were very responsive too.

Perfect in every way

This was our 3rd stay, and we're already talking about going again. The setting is so peaceful, and the cabin is well-stocked and comfortable! Our grandsons loved swimming in the pond, and we enjoyed the fire pit every evening. We also discovered Hayesville Brew this time and ended up eating there twice. The food and service was way above average! I recommend this cabin wholeheartedly!

Operation Family Reconnect

This place is truly a gem! We throughly enjoyed our stay. Our kids (ages 12 and 9) are in year round sports. Our weekends are packed full. We were looking for a place to disconnect from our “normal” and reconnect as a family. The sound of the rushing creek reminded you to breath, the easy going lifestyle of the mountains reminded you to relax, and the time spent and memories made reminded us that the kids are only this age once and to enjoy life in this chapter we are in. It’s just what we needed. Thank you Gary and Tracy for sharing your home, we can now see why you love it so much also.

Scattering Joy

Tracey & Gary were very quick to respond anytime I had a question and they have thought of everything when it comes to their property. The home is clean and comfortable, as well as warm and welcoming. The property is a beautiful escape from the hustle and the bustle of everyday modern life. My family thoroughly enjoyed our week there unplugging from the daily grind and reconnecting with eachother. We made so many beautiful memories playing games, fishing and exploring everything we could. We all definitely recommend staying here! Tracey & Gary scattered joy in our lives and hearts by sharing their home with us! 😍

Magical experience

If I could give 10 stars ⭐️ I would. From the layout to the easy access to enter the home thru the garage, especially to load and unload belongings. The fully stocked kitchen and when I say stocked I mean it has everything you can possibly need.The home was Exceptionally clean and organized. The screened in porch was my favorite with the sound of the creek being so beautiful and relaxing as well as view of the pond. The crackling of the fire pit transported me to a simpler time as a child camping with family. We saw deer, hummingbirds fireflies and herd nothing but nature. The hosts were extremely accessible and even went out of their way to let us know what was happening in the area if we wanted to go check out the town. Already planning our next trip….! Looking forward to returning…❤️

Great place!

Check in was easy. The home was nice and clean. The property was exceptional, with a cold creek and pond to go in! There was a constant noise between the creek and crickets, which was oddly calming. The only negative was the long gravel road, about 3/4 mile. A truck would be better than a car, but our car made it fine. Just drive slow! Overall, we loved this place and the surrounding areas!

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I spent 10 days at Compass Creek and we loved every minute of it. We had a little more rain than we would have preferred but with the screened in porch we were still able to enjoy all the beauty of nature. we did not get in the creek because we are both 76 and walking on rocks would not be wise, but we did enjoy watching and listening to it. We have stayed in a lot of cabins and this was the first time to ever have a garage, boy was that nice and so was not having any stairs. Over all it was great.

Middle of nowhere Treasure!

When looking for a place to stay. I try to look for places next to water. This place popped up and I am SO glad that we booked it! I was a little nervous when I learned we would not have cell service BUT it was just what we needed! There is GREAT Wi-Fi. The stream fed pond! Wow. We spent HOURS in a raft splashing around. The creek! Was even more magnificent! We had planned a mining day while there and my kids asked to cancel many trips. Just so we could walk in the creek for hours! The neighbors were all so nice and friendly. You HAVE to go to the Tavern if you stay here. They are now on my Christmas card list! Now I have been a city girl for a LONG time. So the drive to the grocery made me a little nervous but after a couple times it was a beautiful 15 minute drive. We travel several times a year and I was very impressed with how well stocked the house was.

Let your stress melt away

When you walk in you feel at home. Everything is on one level, which is hard to find in the mountains. We spent many hours on the peaceful screened in back porch just listening to the stream and watching fish in the pond. Also cooked hotdogs on the fire pit by the stream. The location is a hour or less drive to many hiking trails, waterfalls and casinos. We took a drive each morning, but enjoyed getting back to the house to just relax and de-stress. It is so quiet and peaceful. We are already planning another visit. Tracey is very easy to work with and quick to answer any questions or address any issues. Check in is a breeze, there is also a enclosed garage which is a plus! We found everything we needed to cook meals. Furniture and beds are comfortable, if you want Wi-Fi it’s available as well as a land line phone. You won’t want to leave, thank you Tracey and Gary for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!

Why they chose this property

When looking for a lot in the area for a "someday, maybe" place to retire, we kept being drawn up Compass Creek. This home was situated on three very special creek front lots. Initially we were going to sell the house and keep a lot, but after staying on the creek, we just couldn't bring ourselves to part with it. We can't be here all the time, so we're happy to share it with nature-lovers looking for a nice affordable holiday to relax and make special memories.

What makes this property unique

500'+ creekfront
private pond suitable for floating
sunny meadow
2 porches
2-car garage
easy access and just 3 steps above grade
recent renovations
private but not too remote
