We had a wonderful, peaceful two-week stay! The cabin has great rustic charm while being extremely well-equipped. The kitchen is stocked way above average—it even has actual sharp knives, which is a rare treat! We also loved the surrounding nature; during our time there, we spotted deer, butterflies, hummingbirds, and even a pair of owls. Highly recommended for a relaxing escape! The cabin strikes a perfect balance between getaway.

Beautiful cabin! Two porches to enjoy sitting and relaxing outside with nature...could hear the small creek in the back and a deer came across the driveway. Host was easy to contact and very helpful. If we are up that way again, we would definitely stay there!

Wonderful secluded, cozy log cabin!!! My 4 year old son loved the creek in the back where we found salamanders!!! The host was easy to contact and very quick to reply. The area is beautiful. We enjoyed nearby hikes (Otter Falls Trail and Beacon Heights Overlook) and dinner in Blowing Rock!

We loved our stay at Creekside! The location was perfect, and we spent time at the wineries and restaurants nearby. Our dogs loved the creek and had plenty of space to run around. Michael's communication was great and the listing was spot on. We will definitely book Creekside again.

Quiet Cabin in the beautiful North Carolina woods on 12 acres in a secure gated community. 15 minute drive to downtown Banner Elk for restaurants and shops. We really enjoyed hiking in the area. Multiple places to hike within a 30 minute radius and a big bonus of this VRBO was that we could bring our Aussie with us!

We had a fantastic stay here at this creekside cabin. Mike was a great communicator. The cabin was clean, cozy and equipped with everything you need for a peaceful stay. The front porch, back deck and creekside sitting platform were all wonderful. The interior is so inviting and comfortable.
