The property was gorgeous and quiet and secluded. We loved the creek and the cabin is very spacious and comfortable. Loved the kitchen. It takes time and patience to get up and down the driveway/road up but it wasn’t bad in the fall. Just go slow and take your time. The view up is beautiful.
The property was so beautiful and the sound of the creek was extremely relaxing. All instructions and directions given by the hosts were extremely helpful and the hosts were very responsive!
Very nice place. Loved the mountain stream. The house was set up nice could've used a few more kitchen chairs and a picnic table table outside but would definitely stay again
The cabin was perfect. I loved listening to the creek flowing by, very relaxing. Perfect place to get away and unplug from the busyness of everyday life. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Cozy cabin
Very cute, cozy cabin. The creek in the yard was very loud but relaxing sitting on the porch. The description doesn’t mention that the cabin is on the very top of alarka though! That was a surprise, about a 15 minute drive going 20mph up a curvy mountain was annoying when we just needed to run to a store and the
The stay was wonderful, I will say arriving in the daylight will be the best option. The internet is satellite so if you plan on doing video calls for work that may need to wait until you’re off vacation.
Tranquil Creek cabin was in a beautiful setting. The creek and surrounding views were perfect. The cabin was comfortable. The property manager responded promptly to all my messages.
Tranquil Creek was absolutely breathtaking! Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable. The cabin was beautiful. It was very clean and well kept. The grandkids are looking forward to staying in warmer weather so they can enjoy the creek. We highly recommend it others and hope their stay will be as enjoyable as ours.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for choosing our cabin
The fact that it rained the whole time we were there it was great just to get away. We did get a chance to go to Harrahs casino in Cherokee on Friday. Great cabin in a secluded area. Would definitely rent this cabin again.
The name says it all. The cabin was in a beautiful location with a rolling creek running along the side. We enjoyed mountain biking at Tsali and hiking on the Bartram Trail. We enjoyed our stay.
This was a "girls' trip" with my mother, my teenage daughter and myself. We had an amazing stay at this cabin. It was the perfect getaway that we needed for a three-day weekend. Owner is great with communication and extremely quick to respond!
Hope to get back there again!!!!!!!!!
