About this property

Peaceful Creekside Cabin, Easy Access (Paved road) - Walnut Creek Haven

Our 2BR & 1B cabin is nestled in the Nantahala Forest, located in the desirable Walnut Creek area, between Franklin and Highlands. Downtown Franklin is only a few miles away for all of your shopping and restaurant needs. Walnut Creek Haven is close to many waterfalls, trout fishing, hiking, and the local gem mining. Come to a place where beautiful scenery, hiking, fishing, history and Southern hospitality are a way of life.

Our Cabin has been completely renovated and has all new appliances and furnishings. All one level living with open floor plan, eat in Kitchen and a dining nook. The Cabin is easily accessible as it is on a paved, county maintained road, and is only a short distance from the beautiful Cullasaja Falls, as well as many other waterfalls in the area.
We love to sit on the back deck overlooking the creek and let the sound of the water melt our cares away.

If you’re into motorcycles, the roads in the area provide the most fun possible on two or three wheels. And the cabin has ample parking for your bike trailer.

The kitchen is fully equipped for all of your cooking needs if you choose to "eat in". There is also a propane grill on the deck and ample seating to enjoy the natural setting while you relax with a good meal or cup of coffee in the morning.

What a great location! Close to Franklin and Highlands. Peaceful cabin with everything you need for a comfortable stay and just as described in the listing. My husband and I stayed for 6 nights using it as a home base for our visits to the many waterfalls, beautiful drives and our visit to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We loved the convenience to both grocery stores and restaurants so we could flex as to when and how to eat. We grilled on the deck and cooked in the very well equipped kitchen. Would definitely love to return and recommend Walnut Creek Haven!

/Relaxing Getaway

This was a lovely perfect cabin to rest and relax from the busyness of life. It's spotlessly clean with all kinds of closet and shelf space and generously stocked with thoughtful amenities. Appliances are new and easy to use including a wonderful washer and dryer for all your dirty hiking clothes. It's definitely cozy and feels like home away from home.,

Wonderful Waterfalls

When we arrived my wife was impressed with how wonderfully clean the place was (she is VERY picky); and how tastefully decorated (I wouldn't know tasteful from a trash dump). Everything we needed was available and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. I would have loved to try the BBQ but we got back from our waterfall adventures too late every night to take the time for that.

Nice Cozy Cabin

We loved our stay in Franklin. The cabin was nicely appointed with special touches all throughout. It was very clean with a back deck that made you feel you were in a treehouse. Very peaceful. We enjoyed our two days of hiking and waterfalls. We especially enjoyed the Rufus Morgan Trail and waterfall as well as Siler Bald via the Appalachian Trail. We also ate at Root + Barrel Kitchen and enjoyed both our entrees. While we were tired each day, returning to the back porch, with the sounds of the running stream and a glass of wine was something to look forward to.

A lovely, well-organized cottage

This cottage has nearly everything you could want in a place to stay. The owner has prepared the house with extreme thoughtfulness (as if she were staying there). There are many creature-comforts supplied throughout the home. Items like placemats, extra napkins, spices, coffee, decaf coffee, sugar, etc., in the kitchen. The laundry room comes with laundry soap (in case you forgot yours). The bathroom had containers with lotions, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, liquid hand soap, Q-tips, hairspray, blow dryer, and other personal care supplies. Everything in this house was neat and orderly. There were specifically marked containers in the kitchen and bath, labeled light switches, baskets for housing items in the living room and bathroom. I loved the organization! The new king-sized mattress in the main bedroom was probably one of the most comfortable mattresses I have ever slept on when vacationing (that is saying a lot when you live with major back issues!). The only negatives I would have are that the living room furniture that looks amazing, is not the most comfortable for people like me who have a difficult time getting up from a lower position. Both my husband and I found it hard to be comfortable on the 2 couches and the overstuffed chair. I also had to go out and buy a one-step step stool to get up into the king-sized bed. I am only about 5' 3" and my buttocks would just barely make it up to the edge of the mattress. The added step from the stool was helpful.

Fantastic cabin

This cabin was just perfect for us. We did a little getaway between Christmas and New Years and this cabin was everything we needed. You will not find a cleaner cabin. It also had everything you could need, the owners went above and beyond making sure the cabin had everything available to make your stay feel like home. Listening to the creek below while drinking my morning coffee on the deck was just an an added bonus. It was closely located to everything we wanted to do: chasing waterfalls, mountain hikes, craft stores, and antiques. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling near the area.

Felt like home away from home

This cabin was perfect. The location was convenient, yet still secluded. The decor inside was extremely charming, warm and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals, which we did every single day. We never ate out once. Patty was very helpful when I reached out. Overall, it was a fantastic trip snd I can’t wait to come back next year.

About the host

Host profile image
I live in a small town in central FL with my husband, Tom. I am a quilter and attempt to be a gardener! I love nature and to be outdoors and have always dreamed of having a mountain cabin. I am thrilled that that dream has come true!

Why they chose this property

While looking for a vacation home within a days drive from our home, we came across the town of Franklin and fell in love with it. We were looking for just a small 2 Br cabin that was easily accessible and came across this newly remodeled cabin that was for sale. We instantly fell in love with the photos. After visiting the cabin and sitting on the deck enjoying the peace and quiet and the soothing sound of the small creek, we knew this was the place!
