Creek Creast sits a stone's throw from the storied Ocoee river. This 1100-square-foot, two-story log cabin may look rustic, but it contains all the comforts you can imagine.

Wander the wooded path down to the riverside deck and pavilion, perfect for swimming, fishing, tubing, or simply enjoying the view. Then spend the evening's fireside, roasting marshmallows at your private riverside fire pit or curled up with a good book indoors next to the cast iron fireplace.
Inside, the all-wood cabin is beautifully finished with rustic charm. The cabin is fully equipped with dishes, linens, toiletries, and everything you need to enjoy your time on the Ocoee. The fully furnished kitchen included enough dining space for all the guests to congregate together. The first floor also features two private bedrooms, one queen and one king.

We loved the cabin and how it was away from everything but close enough to get to by driving...it was quiet and peaceful, just what we all needed to reset

This cabin was so cute and we felt at home. The area was quiet and beautiful and right on the river. The cabin had 2 bedrooms downstairs for the adults and 4 single beds upstairs for the teens. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We will definitely want to come back and visit this cabin and the other ones on this property.

We are so glad you enjoyed our beautiful piece of property on the river! We hope you'll come and see us again soon!
Accomadating cabin in the woods right on the river! We enjoyed the campfire by the river. Stated it had a hot tub which it doesn't but overall had what we needed. i enjoyed the screened in porch reading and drinking coffee.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you had a great time at Timberroot Rustic Retreats. While the Creek Crest Cabin does have a jetted shower/tub combo it does not have a hot tub. We will be sure to get the wording corrected for the jetted tub, and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your support means a lot to us, and we can't wait to see you again for another memorable stay at Welcome Valley Village.
The rental process was seamless from check-in to check-out.
All the cabins are nestled in the wooded hills with plenty of space between each rental which allowed for a quiet space throughout the weekend. The entire property is well maintained with hammocks sporadically placed which we loved.
For our annual whitewater rafting trip my family stayed at the Crest Creek Cabin for (3) nights which was very clean and had comfy beds! If you’re looking to raft down the Ocoee most of the good outfitters are just miles down the road, there are even a few restaurants close by. Crest Creek Cabin was a great find for our family and we will definitely be back as long as its available.

We really connected with God and enjoyed each other they had everything we needed the only problem was the beds they were very hard and my body hurt when woke up did try sleeping in chairs I suggest you bring a mattress topper of some kind I will on all my next trips
Although we did not have WiFi, which was an inconvenience for work and school, it was a very nice place to stay.

About the host
Hosted by Timberroot Rustic Retreats
As a family of 10, we often find it necessary to get away from the noise of modern life in order to connect with our kids. We have experienced amazing adventures as a family from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Canyon walls of Zion National Park and along the way we have found opportunities to become hosts to fellow nature-loving travelers.
Our first opportunity for creating memorable vacation experiences began in 2018 when Nicole & I purchased the property next to our family home. In a labor of love, we converted the existing trailer park into Wauhatchie Woodlands, a family-friendly rustic retreat at the foot of Lookout Mt. TN. We replaced the trailers with tiny log cabins naming them after our 9 children, and a number of beautiful people that we have “adopted” into our family over the years.
Nicole and I feel that creating opportunities for families to connect is an important part of the vacation experience. In order to facilitate family bonding, we included gathering spaces throughout the property with fire pits, private hot tubs, a playground, and a duck pond.
Our little slice of heaven grew to include our Skyuka Chalet, Wauhatchie Blue House, the May Family Home, and the newly renovated Alford Hill House.
In 2020 our second opportunity to host vacationers came when we acquired Pinewoods Resort in Duck Creek Village Utah. Utah is a state that has held a special place in my heart since the moment I experienced her breathtaking beauty in a person as a college student. Nicole and I have taken our children out there many times and now that my eldest daughter is attending college at the University of Utah, I have an “excuse” to fly out there on a regular basis.
Welcome Valley Village is our most recent opportunity to host fellow travelers and we hope to live up to the legacy its original founder Warnie Dooly Finnell left behind.
