About this property

Creekside in the Smoky Mtns. has a rejuvenating quality. Something we all need!

Creekside is a tobacco free property located on 6 acres nestled in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina alongside Drymans Creek. We have just one rental unit, on the lower level of our home so when booking a stay at Creekside, you will be the only guest. It is 800 square feet all on one level from your car to the door with bath and shower one step up. The unit overlooks Drymans Creek with a view of the mountains and a horse pasture. You'll have a covered deck and private entrance. It is most private and quiet. Listen to the serene sounds of the crystal clear water rushing over the rocks, take in the mountain view from the deck with the creek below. Watch horses graze in the neighboring pasture. Walk the creek taking in natures splendor. You might like to pan for gems, our area is the gem capital of the world, or hunt for arrow heads in the creek! Hike the many trails nearby. You will especially want to visit Pickens Nose a rock outcrop on top of the mountain and stand at 5200 ft and look into the valley below. The Appalachian trail is nearby and water falls abound. Our area has been the setting for Hollywood movies too! The original "Fugitive" was filmed nearby. The train wreck is still visible too! "Deliverance", "Last of the Mohicans". Most recently "3 Bill Boards Outside Ebbing Missouri" to mention a few. If you are an antique motorcycle enthusiast you'll want to visit "Wheels Through Time" motorcycle museum which has been showcased on TV as the show "What's in the barn". There's so much to see and do you won't want to leave! Motorcycles are welcome with easy access from highway. The road in is a hard packed gravel road maintained by the State. We have covered parking for motorcycles if needed. Also in the event of a motorcycle break down, we have a trailer setup for transporting large touring bikes and a good shop to take it to. If you are interested in seeing the mountain and waterfalls behind Creekside by side X side we can arrange a tour for you! You won't run out of things to do just time to do them!

Beautiful scenery right from the porch swing. We ate breakfast every morning on the deck overlooking the creek and gorgeous mountain and meadow scenery. Kitchen was well stocked with all cooking essentials. Bed comfy, shower warm. Hosts were so helpful with things to see and do. We will be back next year and years after. We loved every minute!

We had a wonderful stay in this home. It was very comfortable, cozy, clean, and private. The outdoor setting was very peaceful and relaxing! We enjoyed the deer that visited daily, watching the horses in the pasture, hearing the water in the creek below and our hosts were very friendly and helpful. We were there a week and will be recommending it to our friends.

Best mini vaca EVER! We became fast friends with the hosts and have already planned two more trips here this year. It's the perfect little hideaway retreat for relaxation meditation and grounding. Great place for a couple or a little girls getaway trip. Definitely 5 stars & just the little recharge we needed.

The Volks are the best hosts we’ve ever had the privilege to interact with. They are a wealth of information for anything you may be interested in doing during your stay! And if you’re lucky, they may teach you how to play corn hole if you’ve never had the chance to learn (or even if you have)!Their place is absolutely lovely. An amazing Mountain View, and everything you could need or want for your stay. They inside was clean and welcoming, with an easy flow. Entering in is the living room, with the bedroom to the left and kitchen to the right. All you need to provide is the food!The outside includes so many amenities, but the porch swing, rocking chairs and fire pit were my personal favorites. We were able to hike (very mild) around the property and explore the beauty. We saw horses, deer, squirrels, birds and more birds (which I LOVED), and even a chipmunk!! We will definitely be returning to Creekside!
