About this property

Smoky Mountain Creek Front Privacy

Private cottage on serene creek that has all the necessities. Located on a quiet, 1 lane, gravel, dead end road. This is the perfect setting for a relaxing vacation. There is no internet and no cell service here. There is a landline Fishing (catch & release), hiking and nature watching are just a few of the great things. In close proximity to shopping, restaurants, entertainment. Stay and just chill out or use this as home base for nearby day trips, the choice is yours. The main bedroom has screen door to porch so that you can be lulled to sleep by the rushing water or you can lay in bed and watch the deer drink from the creek. Wine time on the porch is the ultimate in relaxation.

Cozy creekside

This was our second stay and was just as wonderful as our first. It even rained 2 days and we didn't mind having to stay in at our cozy cabin and relax. Loved the cool "Fall" front that came through. We will definitely be back for another season to enjoy one of our favorite cabins.

If you are looking for peace, quiet and seclusion you will find it all here. You are in close proximity to shops and restaurants. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable. For me, the selling point was the creek right outside the back door! We will definitely be making a return trip!!!

Wonderful Creek

We absolutely loved our say at this cabin. It was so cozy and clean and the creek was amazing. The house sits just steps from the creek and is music to your ears . The cabin has everything you need to cook and enjoy meals in. It is also located in the perfect spot to enjoy hiking and waterfall trips or what ever you may want to do in the area. We will definitely recommend to friends and would love to return again to relax and enjoy this peaceful place.

Amazing Stay

We stayed over Memorial weekend for our babymoon and it could not have been more perfect. My husband enjoyed trout fishing in the creek, and I read along side him. Drinking tea on the porch listening to the creek was magical. The house was cozy and had everything we would need. The added bonus was it being so unplugged (no cell service or wifi) which allowed us to relax and just enjoy each others company.

Beavers in the creek

Let's start with the most beautiful views of the river and mountain i have ever stayed at. My dad wife and i had an amazing time at the house. We had fires ate food and just relaxed. We saw deer almost every morning, plus a beaver swam up the creek rite in front of us it was definitely our favorite part because we never seen one in person. Highly recommend great location and close to restaurants and grocery .

Mountain Paradise

My husband, myself, and our youngest daughter (5) recently spent a wonderful week at this spectacular property. The cabin is lovely and so cozy complete with rocking chairs and outdoor eating space on the top porch and porch swings, a swinging bed, and outdoor shower on the lower porch. We enjoyed early morning on the porch, spent most of each day in the creek, only coming in to cook lunch, enjoyed dinners in town (Dillard & Clayton), fished at night until the sun went down and then cozied up in the cabin with only the screen doors shut so we could still hear the creek. It could not have been any better!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
WE, Rick and Penny Sellers, live on this same road. We love the outdoors and all nature has to offer. Rick is a builder and commercial property owner, Penny a hairdresser and outdoor enthusiast.

Why they chose this property

This location is a walk through the woods to our home. It was built in the 1970's and was a part time summer home for the previous owners. When they became too elderly to attend to it we were able to purchase it so that it would adjoin our property. The cottage sits just feet away from the creek and you can no longer build a structure this close to the water anymore.

What makes this property unique

The privacy makes this location perfect for a romantic getaway or honeymoon. A great way for a small family to reconnect to each other and nature. The quiet and serenity that it offers naturally is unsurpassed.
