NEXT - the Story …

WHERE DOES ALL THAT WATER COME FROM? I am so often left wondering.

THE SETTING. It's all about the creek! Private, soothing and relaxing is how our guests always describe Rushing Waters Cabin, a 1200 square foot rustic cabin sitting just feet from a rushing, meandering creek -- in a MAGNIFICENT SETTING! The boulder-strewn creek borders the heavily-wooded 1-acre lot for 250 feet. If you're at the cabin after a good rain you'll enjoy a roaring creek and small waterfalls rushing over the boulders - amazing. The cabin is strategically sited where you get the best view of the creek from the whole living area. If you have never stayed creekside - this is the way to go -- creek runs right next to cabin and you hear it rushing ALL THE TIME -- so relaxing! Mother nature’s lullaby. Lots to see in the area but plan to spend time at the cabin to enjoy the creek ... it will call to you. .

EVERYONES FAVORITE SPOTS. Everyone raves about the screened sleeping porch, sitting right on the creek. It’s a favorite spot to enjoy the views and sounds of the creek, with its comfy futon and gas fireplace. I love having my hot morning coffee out there, wrapped in a blanket, sitting fireside on a cold morning. Or spending an afternoon reading a book there. Definitely the best spot to take in the magic around you, regardless of the weather.

There’s also the comfy window seat that opens up to the sleeping porch and also overlooks the creek. Or the comfy leather sofa in the living area, with its huge stacked-stone, wood-burning fireplace.

The creek is lit so you can enjoy it in the evenings. There is also an outdoor firepit to enjoy a cozy fire off the deck and an outdoor dining area overlooking the creek. Gas barbecue too.

THE FOREST. The cabin is located amongst a forest of tall trees and is heavily shaded creekside. Many of the trees are 50 feet tall or more. We have lots of rhodos and azaleas blooming from May on. So even in the winter there will be the green of the rhodos all around you. The creekside is usually cool. Because of the creek and our elevation (about 1500 feet) it’s always cooler here - even in summer.

THE CABIN. We recently painted the exterior and decks - cabin looks beautiful. New laminate floors throughout home; carpet in bedrooms. The cabin is rustic, with cedar tongue and groove throughout, giving it the cozy, lodge feel you envision for a 'mountain cabin.' Modern open--plan living area, large living--dining area, massive stone wood fireplace. Executive lodgings with rusic appeal. Cabin is decorated with style and comfort in mind (not grandmas's plaid sofa).

In the open living area you will find a comfy leather sofa and huge club chair - softest leather ever - relax with a view of the creek thru the sliding doors, the fire roaring on the stone fireplace and a good movie on the tv. Or lay out on 8-foot window seat that overlooks the creek. Indoor dining seats 4-6 and outdoor dining seats 6. Cabin has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and sleeps 4 in beds: the master bedroom has a king bed with a full bath, plus an electric fireplace; the second bedroom has a queen bed. Quality beds are comfortable. Window seat can sleep 2 small kids (probably not the best for adults). Full -size futon (with a real mattress) on the screened sleeping porch is available for those who want to sleep and “glamp' by the creek..

Fully-equipped kitchen. Pod and regular coffeemaker. Air-fryer/convection oven. Central air and heat. Washer/dryer. Alexa. Lots of blankets and cushions. Games, cards, puzzles and books too. All the comforts of home. Our guests always comment on how we have 'everything'!

WIFI; Flat screen HD TVs available in the living room and both bedrooms. We cut the cable and all tvs are on Roku streaming. Or bring your fire stick or other streaming device. *** CELL PHONE and all its features should work on WiFi calling setting.

PETS ALLOWED. We welcome your dogs. We charge a 1-time pet cleaning fee, that's it. We love our new floors - please cut your pup’s claws b4 you arrive. No cats - they scratched the leather furniture). And not to worry --- home is aired out regularly and super clean - smells fresh and clean. No mustiness or pet odor.

Small children are OK but you MUST supervise them at all times.

FINALLY - NEARBY ATTRACTIONS.

Plan on a few days at the cabin. But if you want to get out and sightsee there are so many beautiful places and wonderful mountain experiences waiting for you here in the Lake Chatuge area! You have to do Hiawassee - amazing lake town - 15-20 minutes away.

CASINO opened in Murphy - about 25 minutes away.

LAKE CHATUGE, the Jewel of the Mountains, is undoubtedly the most beautiful lake in the mountain area. It provides ample opportunities for waterside dining and excellent fishing and boating (boat and water toy rentals available). (15 minutes)

The great lakeside town of HIAWASSEE GA, with its beautiful views of Lake Chatuge, its lakeside restaurants and its funky shops (15-20 minutes)

The picturesque alpine village of HELEN GA with lots of nice dining, bars and shopping, plus tubing on the river in summer.(30-40 minutes)

HIAWASSEE RIVER where you can tube or kayak down the lazy river

Excellent FISHING on Lake Chatuge (its stocked) and Tuni Creek nearby.

GOLF at one of the beautiful mountain golf courses nearby -- The Ridges, Chatuge Shores or Brasstown Resort (5-25 minutes).

Not to mention, horseback riding, hiking trails, and great mountain and antique shopping.

DAY TRIPS. Great homebase location to explore the area. Other nearby cities include Asheville, Lake Lure, Gatlinburg, Cherokee, Highlands, Chimney Rock and Atlanta - most 1-2 hours away. . . Whitewater rafting and stunning waterfalls nearby too. Plan to stay awhile … there’s so much to do !

HOW TO GET HERE. Fly into Atlanta or Asheville and rent a car for a scenic 2 1/2-hour drive to the cabin. You can also come in through Tennessee or Asheville.

Beautiful rustic cabin, the creek was beautiful, fun area for us to hang out with a dog! She loved running and exploring!!! Seen some cool animals under rocks while looking for minerals and rocks! It rained everyday we were there but that never bothered us or our relaxing time!! The owner is super nice and helpful! The internet is iffy so if you want that it may be an issue but that was the least of our concerns and worries. The area is beautiful and Lake Chatuge is beautiful also!

Overall, a very nice stay. We wanted a cabin in the woods with a stream and this fit the bill. They are building a new house next door so there was the construction noise/activity Monday -Friday from 8:00AM to 4:00PM.

Fantastic Cabin

The cabin was very nice. Stocked with everything you would normally have at home. It even had a Cuban coffee pot. The creek was really nice. Everything was better than in the add. We both loved the area so much we are now looking for something near by.

Beautiful Creekside Cabin

We celebrated our 30th anniversary and the creekside cabin was the perfect place to relax and spend time with our family. The cabin was clean, comfortable and stocked with all the amenities. The only downside was the Wi-Fi did not work when it rained and was very slow and spotty even when it wasn’t. Besides that everything was wonderful!

The host was communicative and responsive to my messages. A peaceful and relaxing place to be, right next to the creek. A rustic feel with a few updates, floors were recently replaced, fireplace was remodeled and a few light fixtures were changed out. The cabin was clean with a fresh smell, no animal smells. However there were a few things neglected. There is a broken window pane in one of the living room windows. Several light switches that didn’t work or you had to be flicked hard to get it to work. Several lights were burned out outside. The tub/shower combo in the guest bathroom had a crack in the bottom of the tub that was squishy when you stepped on it, which was covered up by a mat. The sliding door doesn’t open and close easily and it was hard to lock. We had to kill multiple bugs while there and quite a few dead bugs were found in the ceiling light fixtures in the bathrooms. Overall the stay was pleasant as the creek is what drew us to this cabin.

Amazing Home

This home is an absolute must if you're visiting Hayesville, NC. The home is very clean, has everything you need, not far from Helen, Ga or other towns and the creek was an amazing feature to the outside area. I give it a 20 out of 10 and will be staying here again.

Maximum relaxation

This property is located on a babbling brook in the NC mountains. It’s perfect for those who want to get away from harried life. Just sit on the creek front porch with a good book and relax. It is an older property, but is very clean and has a well equipped kitchen.Pro tip, after you input the door code, press pound! (#)

About the host

Hosted by Annie

Host profile image
This is our second home and mountain getaway. We gladly share this very special place and experience with our wonderful guests. The satisfaction and comfort of our guest is a priority. We live in Miami and cherish little more than our time spent at our creekside mountain getaway and are always sad to leave.

Why they chose this property

After weeks of internet searches and days of viewing properties in the area in 2007 we found this incredible property and instantly fell in love with its rustic cedar interior, enchanted setting and the amazing creek, which rushes just feet off the house, unlike any other home we had seen. We added a stone wood-burning fireplace, moved the gas fireplace out to the sleeping porch and installed a window seat for additional comfort and charm.

What makes this property unique

The creek is amazing. It was a quiet creek when we first bought it but soon discovered how it changes after a strong rain, becoming almost torrential, as it cascades along its path. So hope for rain when you are there, so you can enjoy the creek at its best.
