My husband and I stayed here for a few days and it was so comfortable. The house is very clean and well equipped. The location is beautiful and peaceful - there is a small creek behind the house:

From The Owner: "Thank you for the 5-star review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you come to stay at Creekside Lodge again."
Exceptionally well-stocked home with spacious rooms, clean and well-maintained. Only suggestion would be a railing along the stone entrance to the home for older guests.

From the Owner: "Thank you so much for your excellent rating and kind remarks - we really appreciate it! The suggestion for a railing is a great one and we are adding it to our to-do list."
None of the TV’s worked. It would have been helpful if there was a stairway avail able from the garage to the main floor. The stone stairs at the main entrance were difficult for seniors.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Dec, 2024
From the owner: "Hi Harold, we are so sorry to hear that you were unable to get the TVs to work. They do all function properly for streaming and our local guest contact would have been happy to troubleshoot for you if you had reached out to her during your stay. I hope that despite the issues you mentioned you were still able to enjoy your stay and thank you for your comments."
This is a great house to stay in on vacation! Kitchen was well equipped, nice big rooms, super clean and a cozy, comfortable environment.
The setting is beautiful! I was on the deck grilling and from that side of the house all you can see is woods and hillside, perfect feeling of isolation while being close to town and restaurants.
Sapphire and Cashiers are quintessential North Carolina mountain towns, plenty of hiking, waterfalls super close and no shortage of options in town for shopping and eating.
We are 1000% returning to this property for another stay. I wouldn’t change a single thing about it!!

From the owner: "Dear Jeb, thank you so much for your kind words! We are constantly finding new ways to surprise and delight our guests, we hope your next stay at Creekside Lodge will be even better, if possible!"
The home was very nice and well equipped. It has a slopping back yard that goes to a smalll creek with a fire pit beside it.
My issue was I tried to contact the host to arrive early and with a major problem with the tv in the family room that kept turning on and off by itself for about 36 hours before I finally unplugged it. No response from the host after 5 attempts asking for help
