Beautiful cabin and property

Great place to relax and unwind with the sound of the creek right out the back door. Very clean and accommodating cabin. Gravel road access was not hard to navigate on motorcycles if you take your time and enjoy the landscape.

Thanks so much, Richard. I think you stated it just perfectly. As long as you take your time and enjoy the view, there's no problem at all to bring along your motorcycle. That said, for any guests who may be reading this review, please do let us know if you will be traveling by motorcycle so we can prepare in advance if you need trailer parking of would like to discuss any specifics.

Immaculate Cabin!!

The cabin was absolutely perfect. You can tell the owners put a lot of care into the Creekside Lodge. We were here on a fishing trip so the cabin was more like a base camp for us. We enjoyed coming back every night and relaxing after a long day of fishing. We are looking forward to coming back again.

Thanks, John! Hope to welcome you back again soon. Be sure to remind us that you're here for fishing and we can connect you with a great local guide if you want to explore Santeetlah or the Snowbird Backcountry. Both are great spots but very different fishing styles.

Wonderful Stay

This is a beautiful creekside cabin/house that is very spacious and beautifully situated. Hiking, splashing, walking, swimming, lots of fishing, reading to the sound of the cascading water and more for a very relaxing vacation. The hikes are rather strenuous, but all participated - ages 11 to 78. The kitchen is well equipped and lots of space. Kali was very responsive to our requests and the firewood bundle is large and well worth it. We plan on returning.

First Mountain Christmas

We had a wonderful time at the cabin for our first Christmas in the mountains! Too cold to do any exploration but the fireplace was cozy and we had games to keep us busy. Had no internet or phone service except for a couple of spots. Other than that, very nice and beautiful place to be! Everyone we met while we stayed (including hosts) were awesome! Shout out to Kenny on the property and Rob one of the neighbors who helped us get my dad’s truck started after it froze! We appreciate them so much! We will definitely book this place again in the future!!

Beautiful House in the Forest

What a wondertel 4 days here for my sons wedding. We were here in the fall and this is the most beautiful place to be for the fall foliage. This location is very quiet and peaceful. The house fits right in with nature. It was beautiful inside and out. Inside there is plenty of space. We had 13 people and a dog and there was plenty of space for everyone! Kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need to cook. Just don’t forget to stop at the grocery store and have your groceries before you get to the house because it’s a good ways back to the store. We loved hanging out on the deck and enjoying the view and the sound of the creek. There is a fire pit and hammock. We enjoyed all of our walks around the property. Can’t wait to come back here again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Fantastic Christmas with Family from All Over

PROS: Once you find the home, it's the kind of place you would never leave. If you love to hike (and I do mean hike) then this is your place. Small plane crash hike is a must BUT it is very challenging. Great sitting around either fire pit outside or fireplace inside. Plenty of space for 9 adults/2 kids/3 dogs. The creek outside is spectacular! Full-sized w/d. CONS: I would have liked more "extras" to be included such as some fire wood, Christmas decor, etc. without it costing more given the total price. Take your garbage into town (there's a drop off) or its $35 per bag that don't fit into cans (there are 2 regular-sized cans). Right after Christmas and cooking for all the family was a challenge to get into 2 cans. Thank goodness we made friends with the garbage man. Town is about 35 mins away (great Ace hardware and grocery store). It would have been nice to have some area information at the home (restaurants, must-sees, etc.) Everything we discovered was from the guest book (hard to preplan) or google. All and all, you want remote mountainous home - this is it!

Thanks so much, Susan! It was wonderful hosting you all for the holiday. The request regarding trash is to prevent critters from gathering. We collect the trash regularly during our guest's stay but upon departure, we do ask that you not pile trash up beside the cans. You can always reach out to us if you feel you'll have quite a bit extra and we can help facilitate a donation to the food bank in town. Hope that doesn't prevent you all from returning in the future. We'll be more clear with our guests about the trash policy moving forward.

2/10 Terrible

Disappointment for sure!!

This cabin is located in remote mountains of NC. No cell service at this location. The owners would not send the door access code/house details until 2:11 pm on the day of our 4:00 check in. During our entire travel to the location, we were not even sure we'd get into the place after repeated requests for them to send the door code. You are a good 30 minutes from any town at this house. The final 15 minutes on a dirt road to access the house is very narrow. If you are hauling a trailer with motorcycles or boat, this is not the location as you have to cross 2 wooden bridges to get to the location. This is a great thing to tell people BEFORE they choose this house. The poor people that show up after dark are out of luck. THEN, once we got the door code/house details, it said the renters are required to strip the sheets from all beds and start the first load of towels upon leaving. I was on vacation and very angry to read they wanted me to start the wash before leaving. Learning that this house is located in a dry county with no alcohol available anywhere in the county should have been mentioned days before our check in. Very aggravating. We were so disappointed with the lack of communication and house details, we turned around and drove home.

Amy, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Our guests are of the utmost importance to us which is why we provide thorough instructions, a generous welcome package, a door code for simple entry, and turn-by-turn picture directions. It appears in this case you chose not to open and print the documents provided. While I do regret that you did not even enter the home, you were greeted in person by one of our staff members when you called and expressed concern. For those of you who may be reading this, I encourage you to please reach out, read the reviews of those who have visited since, and consider the enjoyable atmosphere of a remote mountain retreat.

The Creekside Lodge was very spacious for our family vacation of 7 along with my granddaughter’s dog. It is very remote and private if that is what you are looking for. The firepit was set up very nice with plenty of seating to roast s’mores or to just enjoy watching the flames.. Casey, the mountain concierge, was awesome to work with and was very quick to respond with our TV issues and with delivering additional firewood promptly so my grandson could have a fire burning.. He was great!!The only negative remark I can say is there are many windy gravel roads and it takes a longer time to get to many of the local attractions and to the closest grocery.

Mountain Family Vacation Review

WOW. The cabin is secluded, gorgeous inside and out, and well equipped. Beds are comfortable and furniture is cozy. The many streams and trails are fun to explore. The Wi-Fi was spotty at best, but the owners are aware and working on a new provider. The only thing I would recommend to make the house perfect is adding some outdoor seating on the deck overlooking the creek. It was one of our favorite places to gather, with the rushing creek sounds and beautiful mountain wilderness views. However, there was only a bench against the house for sitting. As other renters have mentioned, the drive to the cabin is an adventure in itself! Also, one bit of advice for future renters: when using the hammock make sure you have bug spray on…😊

Top notch, first class accommodations, along side a creek, back in the woods. The Turner family has been doing this for years and their experience shows. We had one service issue, Frank was attentive and timely. Don't hesitate on this property - they go fast for a reason.

Secluded paradise

Loved everything about our stay. It was even more beautiful than pictures show. But do be careful getting there. And bring everything with you because it's 40 minutes to the grocery store. But it was exactly what we were looking for. Our 5 adults and 5 kids had a blast exploring the woods, roasting marshmallows and playing games.

Wish I could box our whole experience here and take it home!!

Our experience started with an exhilarating drive up the mountain (30 minutes from the Ingles to the house) to our stunning rental property!! We rented the Creekside Lodge for a family vacation, ages ranging from 18 to 74 years young. There were 8 of us that comfortably shared this beautiful space. We enjoyed home cooked meals at the big round table. We hiked up to the plane crash. Which was amazing to see and the views were simply stunning!! We indulged in s’mores by the fire pit. And part of our group even played in the creek!! Don’t forget your water shoes!! We won’t forget the amazing, constant sound of the creek! Wish I could have taken that back!! We will forever remember this beautiful location!! And we can’t wait to return!! Thank you!! Jean and Steph

Great property west of Robbinsville and 30 min from Lake Santeetlah, Fontana area, Joyce Kilmer, and Cherohala Skyway. We comfortably fit 4 adults and 3 children with extra bedrooms to spare. The cabin was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Host and property manager were both very responsive. Great cabin in a beautiful, remote area if that is what you are looking for.
