If you love nature and the privacy the woods yet love being close to downtown this is a perfect place for you! Secluded waterfront location that wraps almost 180 degrees around the cottage with your own small private serene waterfalls...This is Mountain Paradise! This house is for nature lovers. If you are looking for a new house with lots of amenities this may not be the house for you. The house is older and therefore reflects it’s age.

The house itself is simple, and an older cabin built in 1960 so have realistic expectations.
Please read the full home description as it is rustic, the beauty of this house in the mountains and the nature of the pure outdoor bliss of the location.
It does not have air conditioning.


Please understand we do not give any refunds for bad weather at all.

If you choose to have a fire you must comply with local NC Forest Service Rules & Regulations. Firewood or fire-starting supplies are not included.

This is our private home so overall we look only for guests that are respectful of other peoples spaces. We ask you leave the cottage like you found it, this means being responsible for your own trash and providing your own paper products if staying for an extended stay.
Enjoy the sounds of the relaxing creek from your private wrap around deck that leads to your own flat beautiful yard and tiny house! Tiny house is a bonus space as it is not heated at this time.
This hideaway truly offers peace and tranquility for the whole family. There are so much natural beauty the setting is surreal.

The property offers meditation and complete privacy in your own tiny house included with the beautiful property! The master has a large Smart TV. An updated stainless kitchen with private dining room will seat 6 and accommodate everyone. We embrace the family mentality so we leave a few condiments in the fridge!
The creek side cottage is extremely family friendly which sleeps up to 6 guests. There is a pull out sofa in her game room however in the winter this is not recommended. 4 adults and 2 kids in the winter months is the most accommodating.
This proepty truly is one of a kind with lush rhododendron surrounding the home, plus it is at the end of a private dead end road.

Beautiful area, great location!

We had a really great time, the land surrounding the house is beautiful and feels so remote but is only 10 minutes to downtown. And it's an easy drive to Rough Ridge Lookout and Julian Price park which were great as well. Definitely would recommend!

Shower had no hot water, the owner ghosted us, lights were out or missing, clean the kitchen

First, and not the biggest problem, is that we never received codes or emails about checking in. We waited till a half hour before check in to email the owners on how to get in to the rental. No reply. I called at check in time and NO ONE ANSWERED. my cousin who just so happens to live a few houses down suggested that maybe the owners would answer a local number. So she dialed the number given, put the phone on speaker and the owner picked up on the first ring. Like out of area people wouldn’t rent a rental. The lady gave a story about the website not working. Ok fine. Oddly enough, the email with checkin codes came in 10 minutes after the phone call was over. Ok fine. No problem we’ll get on with unpacking and enjoy Thanksgiving. The lead; the house sleeps 6 and has 2 showers. Great. What you’re not told is the master shower had no hot water. So 3days before thanksgiving I send an email about the hot water. She responds with sending an email saying someone will be over at some point. Great, thanks, these things happen. We get up and go, come back and the repair man had been there and left his gloves. Awesome, I leave a grateful email and let the owner know the repair man left his gloves and we left them on the table when he comes back. I check the shower; still ice cold well water and the hot water never kicks in. I message her the day before thanksgiving no response. 8 hours later, I call, no answer. I messaged and called her for 3 days and she STILL has not responded. 6 people using one shower for the exorbitant price they scalp you with. To a lesser degree; the kitchen area and dishes were greasy and dirty. The showers were dirty. Every room had burned out light bulbs. The dining room light fixture didn’t even have bulbs in it. All of that would have been understandable if the owners wouldn’t have ghosted us and our problems marooned in their dilapidated house. It was Thanksgiving, we paid way too much, my family had to share a tiny bathroom, the lights were out, and if it had not been for my cousin we would have to scrape some place else to sleep. We’re not interested in being bribed with any kind of refund. People need to know. I would NEVER suggest this place to anyone. They can keep ghosting these stranded renters

Secluded and comfortable with great location to Boone

Nice rustic home with a lot of character on quiet property with creek flowing around to listen to and explore. Very relaxing and comfortable, well appointed with everything you need, liked the coffee area,. Minor mis cue with check in procedures yet owner solved and everything worked out great. We came in for a game and property location to campus is great, would stay again.

Family trip

We absolutely loved our stay here! We came up for a soccer tournament and also to celebrate Mother’s Day and our 2nd sons 10th birthday. The kids loved the house and the creek was amazing! Although, not really a fishing creek. But it was fun to play on the rocks. We weren’t sure what we were supposed to do with our trash. We ended up leaving 2 bags behind unlike the requested 1 bag. We just didn’t know where we were supposed to take it. Having 4 kids, it’s impossible to only have 1 bag of trash for 4 days. The house was in a great location, just minutes away from everywhere we needed to be! We enjoyed eating at the Peddaling Pig right down the road. The house was very spacious and we enjoyed family game night with the family games in the house! Thank you so much for opening your home to us! We enjoyed every second!

Daughter's 14th Birthday Trip

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The deck was full of leaves and very slippery. The lighting in the kitchen/living room wasn't very good. Several rooms didn't have blinds or curtains and a lot of trash laying around outside. Access to the creek was great. The area was quiet and not far from shopping and restaurants.

Creekside in Boone

Our kids, age 4 and 6, loved playing around the creek, the little kids house, and going on hikes around this great house. As the owners say in their description, the house is older and it doesn't have all the things that come with a newer house. With that in mind this is a great house because of the location. It is right beside a babbling creek that is wonderful for kids to play in. We went on short hikes to explore around it and we felt comfortable letting the kids play outside all by themselves. The house is at the end of the road and really gives you the feeling of being out in the country and it is only 5-10 minutes from the Pedlin Pig! The owners were very responsive and accommodating. We really had a good experience and our kids didn't want to leave! We would love to stay here again in the fall.

Awesome! Issues but would go again with buddies

Everything was great! Cute little cabin on the creek. Unfortunately, it rained the whole time but still had a blast. I took off two stars just because of the uncleanliness and onsects inside. Definetly grime built up all around cabinets and kitchen with ants frequenting the house. There were also flip-flops and dirty towels left at the deck area. 100% left it cleaner than found it. Not sure what the cleaning fee was for, for the person in front of us at least. Would rent again for a golf trip or something with buddies.

Whew!

Belatedly realizing there’s no a/c, I was assured that with windows open we’d be comfortable. Well, we actually bought fans to assure some air flow for us. Upon arrival we were alerted to an inoperable bathroom sink. We also learned after inquiry that one of the ceiling fans & lights in living area were also out of order. This issue proved significant in that there are only 2 lights in the sitting area and the fan was seriously needed due to the heat & high humidity in the cabin. The coolest it ever got inside was 74 with high humidity. We attempted to open the sliding doors for air, but due to lack of inadequate screen doors, we had to close to eliminate bugs entering. The light over the stove was also out, making the living area very dark after sunset. Added to that was the overwhelming smell of pet urine that permeated the house but was highly concentrated in the master bedroom; this prevented my husband & I from any semblance of a full night’s sleep. We feel that we were had & didn’t get the value expected

Amazing Location

The location of this cabin was perfect. The stream setting was great to let our 5 and 3 year old go down and splash around. There is no AC in the house and that was only an issue around bedtime. Just bring a fan and let it pull in some air from a window and you will be fine. There are a couple of things in the house that could be updated but it didn't take away from the fun of the trip.

Nice family spot with plenty of parking and big yard with fire pits and shallow creek- great for wading and watching for minnows. Located at the end of a road, but with quick access to main roads and grocery stores.

Great location, comfy house, and places for kids to play

This is a beautiful cabin right on the edge of a creek. There is a full length deck right overlooking the creek that is perfect for having a cup of coffee in the morning. The creek is shallow and perfect to wade around in and hunt for minnows. There is both a playroom (former garage) and separate playhouse, with foosball, board games, kids books, and a bunch of other things for young kids to enjoy. The inside has a nice open kitchen/dining/sitting area. No TV in the main space (which we thought was a plus. There is a big TV in the master bedroom but we were happy not to have it and didn't turn it on.) One of the great things about the house was the number of nooks it had. The family could spread out to sit down and read in different parts of the house to relax. The kitchen was reasonably well supplied with the basics and enough pans to get meals done. Also enough coffee and tea supplies so anyone should be able to get going in the morning. Someone wanting to do serious cooking might want to bring some more pans. There is no air conditioning in the house, but it's cool enough there that we never missed that, even in August. The owner had gone through and opened the windows and set up fans to get the air moving before we got there. The playhouse is vented, so while it was warm the air was moving through it. The playroom was more musty and while the kids really enjoyed the foosball table, there was mold inside it so couldn't play the air hockey game. But between foosball, monopoly, jenga, and other games they were always busy when we were at the house.

gorgeous setting

We enjoyed our stay in this charming cottage which is on a gorgeous piece of property. It is a comfortable place and the hosts have included a lot of nice touches for guests including a few coats in the coat closet that are offered to guests in case it gets cool while they are there! The place could use a slightly deeper cleaning, and bed linens are not the quality my friends and I are used to, but this wouldn't keep us from renting again - this is truly a special place!

Beautiful and relaxing!

Beautiful house and property! Owners were very accommodating and had everything we needed. Really relaxing and peaceful with stream surrounding property. Love the high ceilings and wood beams. Surrounding homes spaced far enough to feel incredibly private (but not isolated) at the end of road. While raining at arrival, it was certainly a relief to see such a large carport just steps from the door. Extremely short drive to mall, shops, restaurants and ASU. Would loved to have been able to stay longer.

We have lived in the High Country for over 20 years now and love it! We are nature lovers and we deeply enjoy our mountain home. We love the privacy of the creek cottage and hope others will enjoy if as much as we have over our years in the mountains!

Why they chose this property

This property is everything you could want in the Mountains of North Carolina. It has a perfect whispering creek for playing in or catching salamanders or fly fishing! This beautiful area we call home has so many wonderful features it truly is a GEM to be discovered. From watching the birds of the covered porch, to having a bon fire in the large fire pit relaxing roasting marshmallows this cottage truly does have everything you could ask for on a family mountain retreat

What makes this property unique

Escape from the busy city life and come to where you can relax and de-stress. The yard & privacy of the creek are extremely hard to find, as you are private yet still so close to ASU, Boone and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This waterfront location with your own private creek is truly a hidden GEM. The property is positioned on the bend of the creek making it an ideal location for the whole family. The creek is a steady stream perfect for kids and adults to enjoy. This property make for a vacation where you can relax, disconnect from a fast paced society and truly enjoy nature.
