About this property
Creekside Retreat
The moment you turn onto beautiful Dicks Creek Road, you'll know you have made a wonderful decision. The gorgeous mountain creek parallels the entirety of the well-maintained gravel road on your way to Simple Times Cabin. Upon entering the driveway, you will first note the remains of an authentic stone fireplace that once warmed a cozy mountain cabin from times long forgotten. A small footbridge crosses the creek and leads to other parts of the property where you can take in the mountain scenery. The cabin sits on the banks of a bold mountain creek. Mountain decor is featured throughout the cabin, creating a cozy, homely mountain feel. The cabin boasts a spacious master bedroom on the first floor and two additional bedrooms on the second floor. It has 2 bathrooms. Spend some family time in the dining and den area as a wood burning fireplace crackles and hisses on the cooler nights. The site and sounds from the deck are perfect for your morning coffee and late evening conversations with your special loved ones around the fire pit. The deck also has an outdoor shower! The cabin got its name, "Simple Times," after we snapped a picture of our unsuspecting children while fishing. The photo captured the children without a care in the world, and for a moment in a simple time and place. We quickly dubbed the picture "Simple Times" and have since had several copies made, one of which is on display in this cabin. Our goal is to provide a carefree experience reminiscent of simpler times to all our guests. We hope you enjoy this cabin as much as we do!

Nice place but there was no soap to shower with and the water in both showers was lukewarm due to what I think is a scaldguard setting way too low.There was coffee but I don't know if it was left by a previous renter. However, there was no sugar or creamer.

Why they chose this property
I fell in love with beautiful Dicks Creek Road the first time I ever rode down it back in the summer of 2013. The gravel portion of this road has always been magical to me. When I get in the mountains of Western Carolina my worries about everyday life seem to slip away.
