Relaxing getaway!

Remote but yet close to attractions, shopping, restaraunts which was exactly what we wanted. Cabin was beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. Bed was firmer than what we are accustomed to but everyone has a personal preference. Host (Mike) was very helpful and everything was as described.

My second time staying at Creekside.

The cabin is nice and very well appointed and the surrounding property is astounding, especially if you are looking for a bit of quiet seclusion. Mike is a first class host. All of the instructions are clear and complete. Creekside is my first choice for a mountain getaway.

Great cabin in a wonderful spot

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The forest is beautiful and quiet. Neighboring cabins are far enough away that you can't see or hear them. The location is convenient to Grandfather Mountain, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Boone and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We will stay here again if we are in the area.

Litte Slice of Paradise

This is our third stay at this property. We very much enjoy the serenity of the mountains and the location of this property makes us feel like we are the only ones around. Yet, it takes us only a few minutes to be in the heart of town - Banner Elk or Boone. The amenities are all provided and our family enjoyed relaxing, playing games, putting together a puzzle and exploring the property. We found a sweet church for Christmas Eve Services and had a rib roast for dinner made in the oven at the property! Thank you Mike for everything and we can't wait to come back in December of 2025.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Burnette

Host profile image
My wife and I are recent retirees and now we split our time between the NC mountains and Raleigh.

Why they chose this property

We also have our private cabin on an adjoining 9 acre property next to Creekside, so any questions or otherwise we're only a couple of minutes away. We've been renting this cabin ourselves now for almost 15 years and probably half of our business is returning renters. One retired couple have rented from us in the summer months for 10 years, so we have a lot of clients that enjoy the privacy and location and return often.

What makes this property unique

Very private. Located between Boone and Banner Elk. Gated community of 200 acres with only about 25 cabins. Surrounded on 3 sides by US Parkland (Julian Price Park) and protected land owned by the Blue Ridge Land Conservancy. Property is at 3800-4000' elevation. Summers rarely get above 75-80 degrees during the day. Nights are cool and mosquito free. 15 minutes to Boone or Banner Elk. 30 minutes to Beech Mt or Blowing Rock. Winter skiing 10 minutes away at Sugar Mtn. or 30 minutes to Beech Mtn. Tubing 10 minutes just across the road at Seven Devils or Sugar.
