Overview
Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Bunk Area, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4-8)
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. Easy access (no scary drives). The 2 acre property features many flowering trees and shrubs on over 500 feet of cascading Compass Creek. Relax in the front porch swing listening to the birds and rushing water, catch some sun in the meadow, or simply enjoy the crystal clear creek-fed pond just feet from the screened back porch. You just won't find a better Smoky Mountain vacation bargain!
If you're looking for a place to treat Nature Deficit Disorder, this is it! Unplug, Unwind and relax with family and friends.
If you choose to stay at home, you might enjoy the peace and quiet in front of the fire, a board game, or a movie on the surround-sound system. The comfortably furnished central living area is cozy enough for two, yet spacious enough to accommodate large family gatherings.
If you choose to get out and explore, easy walking to moderately strenuous hiking is just outside the door on lovely wooded private roads and foot trails to N.C. and National Forest Lands. You can fish the renowned Tusquittee Creek or canoe the nearby Hiawassee River. A good grocery store, golf courses and popular Lake Chatuge with beach-front picnic areas, playground and boat launches (rentals available) are just minutes away. Take a course at the John C. Campbell Folk School! The area is host to music and craft festivals throughout the year.
Clay County is a great base camp for a variety of memorable day trips: Great Smoky Mountain NP, Joyce Kilmer NF, 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 Casino are all withing a couple of hours 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 trailer(s).
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.)
Each week of spring brings new flowers to bloom (Rhododendron Festival in mid-May). Summers are cool and relaxing. Autumn leaf peeping is a wonder. Winters are generally moderate and always peaceful.
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.

Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(38 traveler reviews)
We had a good time.
The cabin was cute and the area was beautiful. It rained most of the time so we didn't get a chance to use the fire pit :( My son and husband enjoyed swimming in the pond (even in the rain)! The one lane road to and from the cabin was a little challenging when another SUV was coming from the opposite direction. Overall a relaxing few days!
A Magical Little Oasis in the Mountains
I had a beautiful vacation on Compass Creek, and am very grateful that the owners are willing to share this little slice of paradise with the rest of us. The owners were friendly, prompt, professional, and well organized throughout my experience renting from them. The cabin itself was clean, tasteful, and very comfortable. The location is quiet and peaceful, and no matter where you look, there is a beautiful view waiting to be enjoyed. The valley is utterly picturesque, and driving through the area was a delight. There is a nice grocery store not too far of a drive from the cabin, and plenty of amazing locations nearby for all kinds of outdoor activities. I was very pleased with my entire vacation experience, and would gladly rent from Tracey and Gary again.
Delightful Cabin, Creek, and Pond in Picturesque Mountain Valley
We could not have had a more delightful vacation than our week on Compass Creek. The cabin is clean, well-furnished, and comfortable, with a delightful screened porch overlooking the pond and creek. The sounds of the creek, the rustic fire-pit with Adirondack chairs, and the gorgeous fall colors combined to provide a uniquely memorable experience. In fact, we hardly wanted to take day trips since the setting was so enjoyable. The Tusquittee Valley community in which the cabin lies is unique also. Life revolves around the rustic Tusquittee tavern (maybe 2 miles away) where food, music, and fun are in abundance. The permanent folks welcomed us short-timers in for barbeque night, steak night, and live band night. Suffice it to say, a good time was had! Our visit on the creek was way too short! Tracey, the owner, was lovely to deal with. We can't wait to go back!
A GREAT PLACE TO STAY!!
We loved it here! Owners are very pleasant to work with. I really liked sitting on the screened porch listening to the rushing water in the creek. My granddaughter enjoyed fishing in the pond. Lots of games, puzzles in the cabin which we took advantage of in the evenings. Also loved exploring the small, quaint little towns nearby. Our only problem was our time spent here was way too short!! We can't wait to make plans for another trip here!
perfect
My husband and I had a month of peace and wonderful weather. We had the most wonderful vacation, even better than last year when we stayed here. The owners were awesome to work with. (we locked ourselves out). Perfect weather and accommodations. Only left the house 4 times the whole month. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We hope to return again.
WEEK OF PARADISE
From booking to leaving, Tracey took care of all details, making our stay very memorable and hassle-free! We wish we had booked for a longer stay....and we certainly hope to revisit this restful piece of paradise! Escaping the heat and humidity of Florida, the beautiful mountains and valleys were a welcome respite. As we headed into Hayesville for breakfast our first morning, and to go grocery shopping, we were overjoyed to see frost in the meadows and wild turkey and deer in the fields....lovely! Even had to stop for turkeys crossing the road once...a sight you do not see very often! The cabin itself is welcoming and so very comfortable. Tracey and Gary have thought of everything....down to the details to make everything homey and comfortable! The wide gravel driveway leads to a 2-car attached garage which was so convenient for coming and going from the grocery store and sight-seeing. There are two roomy bedrooms with two pristine bathrooms, plus another bonus bedroom off the garage which overflow family/teens would consider their own private space. The Master bedroom was cozy and the bed was quite comfortable. Plenty of closet and dresser space, along with a sliding door out onto the screened porch. Tracey's kitchen is amazing, and she has thought of every little detail for those of us who love to cook!!! Very comfortable and well-equipped kitchen. The spacious and well-furnished screened porch out back overlooks their tranquil pond, the fire-pit area with comfortable seating, and the beautiful running creek....you can hear the sounds of the rushing waters either outside or if you have windows open. Relaxing!!! We were visited by 3 very friendly neighborhood dogs about every other afternoon/evening at the fire pit (hmmm....wonder if the hot dogs and s'mores had anything to do with that?). They would drink out of the pond and just lay down and snooze next to us, when they were not chasing critters in the woods. Fun to watch! We used the large open meadow for Archery target practice, and we hiked the local road and creek bed. I read 2 books cover to cover in the comfy recliner with a cup of hot tea at my side (my idea of total relaxation)! We did not at all miss the lack of cell phone service....we gave our family the land-line number in the event of emergency, and didn't think about it after that. You can get cell phone coverage in town if you must? Ingles Market was a find too! In closing.....what a relaxing experience!!!!
