Perfect Getaway

We had a great time exploring the Cashiers, Sapphire and Highlands area. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood and convient to all of the locations we wanted to explore. It was very comfortable and had every item you could need in a rental house. It was very clean, organized and inviting. The back porch is amazing. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great week at Hogback Creek. David our host was excellent in his description of the house. Left all necessary to check in. House is fully equipped, has everything you might need for an enjoyable stay. House is well taken care of and clean. Car is necessary as the house is in a nice rural community, but remote for shopping and points of interest.

Fabulous Creekside Cottage in Sapphire

Creekside is a lovely home with beautiful decor. It was refreshing to sit on the deck listening to the babbling creek and singing birds high among the beautiful tree tops. The host David is excellent, friendly, communicates in a timely manner and with articulation, We were sad to leave and hope to return there in the near future.

Relaxing Getaway @Hogback Creekside!

My husband and I had another wonderful stay at this gorgeous cabin! It has everything you need and is very well stocked We enjoyed a fire in the fireplace in the living room two nights. One of the things we really love about this cabin is the gorgeous porch off the kitchen. And now the owner has built a beautiful stone fireplace at one of the ends of the outside porch! Wonderful addition! David is very easy to work with and always has us check in with him via text when we arrive. We highly recommend this cabin We will return again!

So relaxing!

We loved staying at David’s cottage! It’s the cutest cottage. Beautifully decorated. The master bed was so comfortable! We loved the master bath as well. We spent most of our time on the huge porch listening to the creek below. We cooked a lot and the kitchen had everything we needed. We were able to bring our black lab Sadie with us too and she loved hiking the area! We can’t wait to be back to creeksde cottage!

Creekside Cottage

We loved Creekside Cottage. The location is beautiful and the cottage is comfortable and well appointed, with all the comforts of home. Everything is easy and well communicated. Much better than staying in a hotel! The steep driveway was a surprise, but not unexpected in the area.

Escape from Florida's Heat

This property was secluded, the VRBO description was spot on. The sound of the creek was so relaxing. Sitting on the covered deck, listening to the creek was so very relaxing. Would return with no hesitation.

Calming Creekside Setting

The house is beautiful and comfortable. We loved, loved, loved the back large deck listening to the birds and the creek down below. The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed and a nice soaking tub. The only dislike was the very steep driveway. We found the location to be convenient to town or state park.

About the host

Hosted by David Bennett

Host profile image
I live in Florida and enjoy traveling and spending time in the mountains enjoying nature and the cooler temperatures in Western North Carolina. The Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area is filled with great hiking and has numerous waterfalls that will take your breath away.

Why they chose this property

I first visited the Sapphire Valley years ago while visiting my parents in Asheville and knew that I wanted a little getaway of my own. I found this house and knew it would be a wonderful place to spend a few week each year relaxing.

What makes this property unique

The Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area is unique in its beauty, peace and so many outdoor activities to enjoy. The great restaurants, art galleries and shopping are the added bonus for those who like to spend a little time indoors.
