Comfortable Stay with Convenient Location
I was in town on business working a wedding, and rented this cabin for me, my employee, my husband, and 2 kiddos to stay in. It was only 6 minutes away from the Nantahala Weddings venue, and not a far drive to grocery stores and restaurants! Having a short commute made it so easy to maximize my family time before having to head off for work. Glenn had a welcome s’more kit waiting for us which we loved, and the large sectional couch was incredibly comfortable. This is perfect for a long weekend family getaway! Will definitely book again when back in the area.

Great Girls Lake Getaway
We spent the July 4th holiday weekend with a couple friends and our pups at this beautiful home. It is exactly how the pictures appear - cute, clean and very comfortable! The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions and were very accommodating. Location is right down the road from a cute restaurant on the lake and a drop in point for boats, kayaks and our SUPs. Had a great time and recommend for anyone needing to get away!

Nephew's Wedding
The property had everything we needed for a quick trip to my nephew's mountain wedding. The location was close to the rehersal dinner and wedding venue. The outdoor patio area was nice to hang out at and the beds were comfortable. Check in and check out was very easy and we would not hesistate to stay there again!

Relaxing week at Lake Nantahala
We so enjoyed our stay at the Creekside Cottage after Christmas. Cozy cabin and our family of five fit well here. With our 21, 19 and 17 year old, it was a sweet time to be in "close" quarters so we could really enjoy each other. Fishing on Lake Natahala was great and caught lots of smallmouths, largemouth and yellow perch. Hiking Silar Bald was fantastic..one day it was beautiful and sunny and next day hike it was snowy and icy...simply beautiful in completley different ways. Would come back here for sure! Hosts were very attentive. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Topton terrific cabin
Staying 3 weeks in Dec 2023 between selling a home and closing on a new one, we enjoyed the convivence and comfort of this cabin. Everything we needed was there. Communication with the owner was excellent. The stream along side was a beautiful bonus and the cabin itself had upgraded amenities. Loved it!!
