Located on a private road, you can be sure this is one of the most secluded listings you will find. From the front porch you will enjoy listening to the noisy trout stream that meanders around you. From the family room window you can watch trout rise in Yellow Creek a designated North Carolina trout stream. We are also only minutes away from several hatchery supported waters.

Lovely, peaceful location. Convenient to lots of hiking areas. Multiple seating options along the creek are a nice touch. Christmas tree was a welcome surprise. Comfortable bed, hooray! Everything was clean. The forest is beautiful and I imagine this is a spectacular place in spring.

This is a wonderful small cabin with a creek running next to it. My wife and I had a very relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen is well furnished with all the amenities to cook a meal. The creek offers natural beauty and a relaxing sound if the out doors. I have already recommended this cabin to friends. Would book here again. Todd

Perfect Quiet Retreat

This was EXACTLY what our family needed. Cabin was beautiful inside and the location next to the creek was perfect. Location was really ideal as a central starting point for exploring numerous waterfalls, trails, lakes, and just gorgeous scenery. Being disconnected from internet, phones, work, etc. was such a blessing. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Get Away

Birthday getaway

We celebrated two family birthdays with fly fishing in the creek and sitting on the porch rocking and listening to the soothing sounds of Yellow Creek. All four of us are in our seventies and this was the perfect setting for recharging.

The best getaway

Absolutely amazing! No cell service! No internet! No distractions! If you are looking for a place to go and spend quality time with the one(s) you love this is it. Town isn’t far if you need something. We took everything we needed to cook in with us and went to town once to go to Wheirloom Honey and The Ace Hardware! 2 places we always go. Trout fishing was great, the creek was amazing and fired by the creek were so relaxing. It is definitely just what everyone needs at least once a year.

Yellow Creek Cabin !!!

This was our second stay at the Yellow Creek Cabin. The location is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. Whether relaxing on the porch overlooking Yellow Creek or walking around the yard, the views are breathtaking.The cabin was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a fun family vacation. The location is convenient to many outdoor activities, hiking, tubing, whitewater rafting, etc. We look forward to returning again in the future. Thank You Payton and Laura for sharing your cabin with us.

Fantastic getaway

This property was fantastic For us it was a perfect way to get away from technology enjoy the time as a family. Be advised however if you have a cell phone it probably will have zero service we had two different providers Verizon and AT&t. But that was fine for us at gave us a chance to get away from it all for a while. All in all I give this property of five star!!

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin! It was a much needed escape from the world! As mentioned in the listing there is no cell service at the cabin but you can find some within a few miles drive. There is a landline if needed. We loved playing by the creek and walking through the property. The cabin is very nice and clean. We hope to return next year! If you a looking for a place to unwind, this is one you should consider!

If you are looking to unplug from everything, this is your place. It was nice not having my phone ring constantly and being bothered by emails, etc. This was a much needed reset for us as I work six days a week running my two shops and never get down time. Thank you and we would definitely go here again

Perfect cabin in the woods

Exactly what we hoped for. Looked just like the photos. Loved having campfires every night next to the creek. Fireplace was beautiful and easy to operate. Cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. Owners are super nice, responsive and sent lots of helpful info on things to do. Yellow creek falls close by - great trail with nobody else on it both times we went. Do yourself a favor and go to the trail behind Tapoco Lodge. It’s a slightly harder hike but well worth the falls you encounter!
