The house was wonderful, featuring a spacious kitchen and a large master best complete with a dream closet. The living room was equally impressive, with high ceilings and big windows. A cozy fireplace added warmth and charm, making it the perfect spot for relaxing evenings. The backyard was beautiful. I enjoyed the quit mornings with a cup of coffee.

Great cabin away from everything!

Beautiful spot with nice little creek! House needs some cleaning and updating, but the owner was willing to take our last minute booking so cleaning could be related to our scheduling. The yard is a little on the wild side, but can be overlooked as cabin charm!

We had a wonderful stay! This home is as represented in description and photos. We relaxed just staying in home, sitting on the deck and fishing in the creek that runs around the rental. Scott is a wonderful host and gave us suggestions based on our family. Checking in and out was easy. I know we want to come back again.

Very nice house , very clean and had everything we needed. The owner Scott was very nice and accommodating also. The heat was on when we arrived which made the house very nice and warm.

Perfect spot to recharge your families batteries

We had a great experience! The house was just as described and had everything we needed. The location and creek were amazing! The kids fished and tubed down town the creek and there were plenty of things to do in the area. Highly recommend white water rafting at the Natahala Outdoor Center on the chattooga river (about 40 minutes away) and the gold city gem mine (about 30 minutes). Scott was great and answered any questions we had promptly. Overall highly recommend!

A great family vacation!

The property was great and the host, Scott, could not have been more attentive and helpful. The stream out back was great for our 16-year-old to fish in. The house is an easy drive from several fun activities. We enjoyed Waterfall viewing, Dry Falls was incredible, as well as Zip Lining at Highlands Aeriel Park. We rafted the Nantahala River and took the train ride into the Nantahala gorge, which was stunning (get the cars with the AC if in the summer). All in all it was a wonderful vacation, and the greater Highlands area is just beautiful.

very welcoming home

We enjoyed both the home and the yard. The kids enjoyed the creek and the rock they name "Pride Rock". It was too cold to get in the water but they still enjoyed the water. The house was very comfortable and the owner had provided lots of little extras to make us feel welcome and to enjoy during our stay.

Exactly what we were looking for!!!

Wanted a nice, private house in the Mountains with stream. We got everything we wanted and more!!! Owner was super helpful and friendly. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. It was a great place to unwind with the family and enjoy nature. The kids had a blast kayaking and hunting for gems in the stream. It was great to feel secluded, yet less than 15 minutes away from stores and shopping. Can’t wait to book again sometime!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Walton

Host profile image
Hope you can enjoy this house. It is just too nice to keep for just us. I am a software exec and go between Florida and North Carolina. This cabin has been exclusively for private use for our family for 25 years and only recently made available for guests so please come and enjoy this paradise.

Why they chose this property

This is what everybody wants. Relax on the deck, enjoy the view of he creek and take a walk in the creek. You can take a plunge in the creek but it is shallow with area about 5' in small portion but most of it is shallow and kids love it. Relax in the creek and try catching some trout. A large deck overlooks a spectacular 1000' of creekfront. This is a clean family friendly home/ cabin with the comforts that you need to have a nice time. It is not a multi million dollar fancy place but instead a comfy family cabin/ house in the right spot convenient to everything. It has the best creek front situation you will find on VRBO for this area. I try my best to provide a 5 star experience according to my guests and I communicate with you during the visit to make sure everything is fine. If something goes wrong I will try my very best to fix it. I work remote and internet works fine for me using programs like gsuite, salesforce.com and zoom (using profile pic) but you are not in big city with fiber optic so if you need that go to next property.. We are close to Franklin, NC and Clayton, GA. Fishing behind the house and kids can play in the creek all day long. Shallow part of creek up to ankels and shins. We have pulled various gemstones out of the creek at the bend. This is a private and tranquil setting that you will not want to leave. Beautiful wood floors throughout and all the comforts of home. The trout are known to bite on meal worms, right behind the house if you are lucky. Many kids have caught their first fish here while on vacation. Also plenty of trout farms nearby if you want a sure thing/ catch.

What makes this property unique

Large deck overlooking private creek where kids will spend their entire day. This is what everyone hopes to have when they visit NC. Franklin, NC and Clayton, GA is nearby about 10-15 minutes to both. Plenty to do around with kayaking, gem mining, waterfall hiking, great restaurants, and all the conveniences but very very private.
