Escape to nature at this cozy, A-frame cabin located on a private, wooded lot right between the towns of Franklin and Highlands. Here, you'll also be conveniently close to hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, and the Cullasaja River for fishing, wading, and tubing.

Inside this sunlit, three-story retreat, you'll find a well-equipped, full kitchen to help you prepare everything from your morning coffee to elaborate dinners. Dine together at the adjacent table with seating for up to six guests, and then gather in the living area to stream your favorite channels on the Roku-equipped TV.

Take in amazing views through the east-facing windows across the valley towards the Cullasaja Gorge or head outside to relax or dine on the wraparound deck accompanied by the peaceful sounds of Peek's Creek right across the street. The property is surrounded by native plants and flowering trees, and you'll also find a flat, grassy area for outdoor games.

Wonderful stay!

We had a great week at this cabin! Easily accessible just off the valley floor! Clean and perfect for us! The spiral steps can be a little difficult to navigate but not too bad. One bedroom on the main level was convenient.

Cozy cabin in a quaint location

The cabin was the perfect size for my girlfriend and I, though it would have been great for a family as well. The location was tucked away nicely, but close enough to Franklin that anything we needed was nearby. We would love to come here again!

2022 Winter vacation

Great place, super quiet and clean. the view is incredible, the mornings are beautiful. The only thing I would call out is the fact that there were not many towels, just the exact amount of person on the reservation.

Chalet in misty mountais

The house was great. 9 minutes to Franklin and 21 minutes to Highlands. Several waterfalls between house and Highlands. The view from front porch was great. There are two streams accessible by short walks. My dog and I enjoyed the wild turkeys that we saw in the mornings. The spiral staircases were a little tight. The one to the basement bedroom and bath were tight, but there is an entrance from outside. It made walking the dog and carrying in luggage easier. You would not know you were in the basement. Windows everywhere. The master is on the maintenance floor and twin beds in the stand up loft. Save those for the kids. Grill was great. Very quiet and no car noises when sitting outside.

Perfect Hide Away/Zero Customer Service

The property is beautiful and just what we needed for a rest. Wish we could have stayed longer. It's small, but there were just the two of us and the downstairs bedroom was great. Kinda wish we had the grans so they could have slept upstairs. Maybe next time. We had a family emergency arise and texted to ask about changing the dates. NO response. No one ever contacted us at all. There is a list of checkout info on the house and another the day before you leave, so be aware. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. Other than customer service it was all I ever wanted in a resting place. Owner, you might want

Good. The door handle on the outside of the sliding glass door was missing. That made it hard to close the door from the deck. The dehumidifier was not working efficiently as it seemed humid inside. While we were there the power went out due to lightning. We understand that nature cannot be controlled..

A great getaway house in Franklin NC

The Chalet at Peeks Creek was beautiful and in a nice secluded location not far from the main road. 10 min. to downtown Frankiln, grocery store, waterfalls and gem mines. It had a warm cozy feel from the second we arrived that lasted until we left. Would have stayed longer and will do so next time.

Mountain Retreat

We really enjoyed the chalet! It was very clean, the kitchen had everything we could possibly need, and the deck overlooking the forest and mountains was really pleasant. We felt very comfortable, during our two week stay. The only suggestion for improvement would be adding a handle to the outside of the slider, to make it less difficult to open.

Nice, peaceful and secluded chalet. Perfect for our needs for a short getaway vacation.

We liked that it was remote, yet an easy drive to Dry Falls and the Highlands. Very nice chalet!

Chalet at Peek’s Creek

Great home, if you prefer larger towels and additional wash clothes, bring your own. However, they do have a washer and dryer. I just didn’t want to spend vacation doing laundry. 🙂 We loved the area, very quiet and everyone we encountered was kind. The three stories made it fun for our child. Thanks for a great week in WNC!

Perfect for our stay.

We wanted to experience Highlands and the surrounding areas on a budget. This Chalet allowed us to afford our stay and was also perfectly placed along the road to and from Highlands for hikes, waterfalls, and fishing. We will be back to Peek's Creek very soon!
