We really enjoyed the cabin!

You can tell that the owners want their guests to enjoy the place as much as they do. It's a beautiful place! Also nice to have basics provided so you don't have to go buy soap and what not for your stay. We hope to rebook soon.

Must beautiful and relaxing place

This place was so relaxing. We were there for 5 days and our kids had so much fun. The kitchen has all the equipment you need to make meals (just need to bring the groceries). We will definitely be coming back. Everything was so lovely. We really enjoy it.

The perfect getaway

Where do I start? Comfortable and cozy cabin with all of the things you expect and lots that you don’t. Eg the fridge was stocked with some soft drink options, staples were stocked in the pantry, small goods also in the fridge. Laundry was well stocked and there was plenty of towels. The creek was running high and we caught a few fish right in front of the property. really like a home away from home. Thanks to the owners for being such warm and gracious hosts.. we will be back !!

Great location

Cabin sits right on Fires Creek, which is a stocked trout stream. If you like the sound of a babbling brook, this is the place. However, it rained 3 days and so the fishing wasn't very good. Nonetheless, the location is very scenic, close enough to town and close to the WMA. But when we checked in, we were surprised that the fireplace and refrigerator were in need of cleaning. We had to clean the frig but left the FP as we found it. Also, several light bulbs are in need of replacing. Outer door knob on downstairs bathroom does not actuate the latch...so don't close the door without someone in the bathroom. Objects on upper shelf in kitchen have collected a thick layer of dust. In short, this is a great cabin that can be made even better with a good spring cleaning.

A wonderful, cozy cabin at a perfect location

Very well equipped, cozy and enchanting cabin. The location couldn't be better and it's convenient to everything we wanted to do. The flowing water sound from the creek is so relaxing and the wood fireplace tops it all. Wish we could have stayed longer, but we'll be back next year.

Peaceful Retreat

This delightful cabin was just as pictured, but what the pictures can't convey is how the surroundings wrap you like a blanket. We basked in the warmth by the fire both inside and out to the music of the creek. We did encounter some problems with maid service, which either hadn't come or hadn't finished the job, but the owner of the cabin responded promptly to our message and took steps to make things right. Be prepared to bring some window coverings if you like extra privacy or light filtering for the upstairs bedroom and bathroom.

Cabin serenity

Such a beautiful property. Very challenging to find at night. We actually were trying to get into the wrong house. Oops!! Poorly marked. The rushing river is literally right outside the door and adds a backdrop of constant sound and beauty. It is very off the beaten path and no town nearby which is what we wanted. Peaceful solitude. Lots of steps and slippery terrain so be prepared for that. Would not recommend for anyone with any mobility concerns. Beautiful natural setting. No supplies such as coffee or paper towels so come prepared. No store nearby!

A special place

When we packed and left for our vacation to Haysville, we had no idea Category 4 Hurricane Ida would hit our home in Louisiana. This cabin was so peaceful and secluded, just the distraction we needed to ride out the storm raging at home. My boys STAYED in the creek. They played till the sun went down. The windows are incredible. I loved watching them play while I cooked! The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Go check out Leatherwood falls, only a couple miles from the cabin. As we head back to rebuild our home, we have a lot of peace in our hearts. A lot of that is due to this great place. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We'll be back

Almost a perfect retreat.

The quiet scenery and the stream just outside the door made the cabin's location perfect. The cleaning crew kind of spoiled it by leaving sticky tables, small trash/dust bunnies under chairs and bedside tables, and a stinky garbage disposal that sounded like a rock grinder. The upstairs bathroom needs at least something for the window facing the road (and other cabins) for toileting privacy. Lastly, the upstairs bedroom has no place to hang clothes nor curtains to darken the room from the bright early morning sun. Regardless, it was peaceful with the stream gurgling by the cabin.

Family Vacation

If you're looking to take your family someplace quiet to get away and decompress this is the place. We stayed for 9 days and it was great. The house comes equipped with everything you need. Our kids (17 to 4 years old) were in the stream every day either swimming, fishing, tubing, or checking out the beautiful river rocks. Yes the water was freezing but kids never care about that. We did go and buy them little wet suits from Walmart in the town up the road and that helped a little with the cold water. We sat outside every night by the firepit and ate S'mores. The bear came by one night and tried to tear the trash can apart but he didn't succeed. Ha! We ate dinner out one night in Hayesville at Marilolinos and everyone in our group enjoyed it. There's a waterfall not far with a little hiking place on firescreek wildlife rd. It rained one night and with that and the metal roof it was one of the most pieceful night sleeps I've ever had. Being out there made us want to purchase our own mountain cabin with a river/stream outside. It truly was peaceful. Our kids didn't want to leave. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great place overall with just a few concerns.

The positive: It was clean, tidy, the view is to die for, the kitchen was very well stocked, the cabin itself is adorable, it's near town to buy groceries and such, and during the warmer months there is tubing and other outdoor activities nearby. There are people nearby, but you are distanced from them enough to still have some privacy. The negative: I consistently smelled gas in the downstairs bathroom and hallway. It was unnerving. The shower water reeked of iron and we rushed thru showers because of it. The main bedroom mattress was to me, very uncomfortable. I woke up with an aching back each night. Lastly, the surveillance cameras were a HUGE turn off. I would probably not return unless these items were addressed. I really do applaud the owners for such a pretty well kept place. We came for a short weekend anniversary trip away from our busy lives and 4 kids, and we did relax. The creek is amazing and we basically lived at the fire pit.

Great place for children. Plenty of room to run and play. Beautiful views. Great fire pit, especially when firewood is provided. Fore fisherman that want to sneak away, a very good delayed harvest area just a couple of miles away. House is very accommodating. Very satisfied.

Why they chose this property

We visited this area for years and fell in love with the lush vegetation, solitude, and the sound of Fires Creek. Spend time here once and you will never want to leave.

What makes this property unique

The views from the house and the direct proximity to the creek are some of the best features. The solitude and acreage help to ensure privacy. Even though you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere the town of Hayesville is only a 10 minute drive away. Fish, tube or play in the creek. Hike on the 24 mile fires creek rim trail. Visit the unique mountain towns of Hayesville, Blue Ridge, Murphy and Brasstown. Roll the dice at the new casino. Golf and treat yourself at the Brasstown Valley Resort and Spa.
