Enjoy your coffee while listening to the sweet sounds the rushing waters of the creek from the sprawling front porch.

There is also an outdoor fire pit to enjoy roasting marshmallows and great conversation. Creekside Cabin offers 55 inch HD TV and wifi for those looking to stay connected.

Absolutely lovely few days in the mountains. Property was well stocked, comfortable, adorable and peaceful. We spent many hours by the creek and our daughter loved the loft. Hosts were responsive and check in was easy. We look forward to staying here again.

Family vacation success
Good stay in cozy cabin. Creek was great for the dogs and the fire pit was awesome. Lots of firewood provided. Access was a little difficult for our higher than average van. Overall , a very nice stay .
The cabin was immaculate, spacious, tastefully decorated, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped. The beds were extraordinarily comfortable, lots of cozy seating inside and out on the amazing porch, which was our favorite hang-out. Our teenage boys spent time reuniting with each other at the fire pit every night. The stream was cool and shady, and such an amazing sound of relaxation.
Beautiful, clean, quaint cabin with the sound of rippling water. Very relaxing. Everything you have at home, you will have here. Communication with Hannah was quick and easy. Highly recommend!
We had a great time. Cabin was very clean and well equipped with everything you could need. Felt like we were staying at a friend’s house instead of a rental.
We have lost track of how many to Mrs we’ve stayed, but this gem is our happy place. Thank you for all the special touches! I put your ferns out to water with the rain coming! Thank you for always making this our home away from Gville!
Our stay was wonderful! Everything was just as listed. We spent many evenings on the porch listening to the stream or teaching our son to skip rocks. This trip was to relax and reconnect and unplug. This house had everything we needed to do just that. Both beds were super comfortable and we all slept great after our adventures. Thank you so much! We will be back!
My daughter and I loved the cabin and the location to all of the hiking. The place is perfect for a family retreat. Hannah and Lance has is setup perfectly. The beds are the most comfortable that I have slept on in any vacation rental.
Thanks so much for sharing your place. Kenny and Brittany.
Cabin is well appointed. Very quiet with stream view from porch. Comfortable furnishings. Incline on driveway entrance easily traversed with 2 wheel drive.
We love this cabin. It is an ideal family getaway! It is outfitted perfectly for your stay. The sounds of the stream behind the cabin are so soothing. We will be back!
We greatly enjoyed our time at this cabin. Everything on the listing was accurate. Extremally private location, as it shares a road with only one other cabin. The creek frontage offers a great place for families to spend hours enjoying the outdoors.
We had a very relaxing time with family. My grandson enjoyed playing in the creek. He caught his first fish at Andy's Trout Pond. This cabin is very comfortable.
We loved the everything about the cabin! We had lots of rain, resulting in the stream transforming into a raging river. The location is convenient (by car) to dining and shopping as well as hiking. Lots of nature to enjoy here, including hummingbirds, groundhogs, etc. Check for local events or farmers markets during your stay.
I brought my mom here for her 87th birthday. We loved everything about the cabin. The location is beautiful, peaceful and secluded. The cabin is wonderfully appointed, clean and comfortable. The back porch and rockers were our favorite spot along with sitting by the creek. We didn’t use the fire pit but it’s a beautifully done area. The landscaping, both natural and planted are gorgeous. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back!
