Creekside in the Smoky Mtns.
has a rejuvenating quality. Something we all need!
Creekside is a tobacco free property located on 6 acres nestled in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina alongside Drymans Creek. We have just one rental unit, so booking a stay at Creekside, you will be the only guest. It is 800 square feet all on one level from your car to the door with bath and shower one step up. The unit has been remodeled on the lower level of our home overlooking Drymans Creek with a view of the mountains and a horse pasture . It has a covered deck and private entrance. It is most private and quiet. Listen to the serene sounds of the crystal clear water rushing over the rocks, take in the mountain view from the deck with the creek below. Watch horses graze in the neighboring pasture. Walk the creek taking in natures splendor. You might like to pan for gold or hunt for arrow heads in the creek! Hike the many trails nearby. You will especially want to visit Pickens Nose a rock outcrop on top of the mountain and stand at 5200 ft and look into the valley below. The Appalachian trail is nearby and water falls abound. Our area has been the setting for Hollywood movies too! The original "Fugitive" was filmed nearby. The train wreck is still visible too! "Deliverance", "Last of the Mohicans". Most recently "3 Bill Boards Outside Ebbing Missouri" to mention a few. If you are an antique motorcycle enthusiast you'll want to visit "Wheels Through Time" motorcycle museum showcased on TV as the show "What's in the barn". There's so much to see and do you won't want to leave! Motorcycles are welcome with easy access from highway. We have covered parking for motorcycles if needed. Also in the event of a motorcycle break down, we have a trailer setup for transporting large touring bikes and a good shop to take it to. Please note our Rules & Policies.
I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The host was so helpful in giving directions to places to see. The house was immaculate and was equipped with everything one would need.
While we weren't able to go on any hikes in the area, the stay was amazing and we were able to disconnect for the weekend and just enjoy the holiday together.
My husband and I had a lovely getaway at Creekside! Very quiet and private. The soothing sound of the creek and the view from the porch was our favorite! Location was great and close to restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations. We had no trouble finding our way there. Creekside is super clean and decorated nicely, an all-around great place to rest and unwind. The hosts are so wonderful and very helpful. They were there to greet us upon arrival. Super kind couple with great recommendations about the area. We look forward to a return stay at Creekside!
Well appointed apartment with the best porch and porch swing. Super clean. Everything you could want to just relax! We'll be back! Loved Joe and Ruby and the neighborhood.
We enjoyed our stay. It was beautifully appointed, had everything that we needed, and was warm and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. The hosts were exceptionally helpful and were nearby for any questions. I would definitely recommend this listing.
We had an amazing honeymoon at creekside! They are so welcoming and warm. They are very generous with their local wisdom but give you complete privacy!
Plenty of room inside and outside. All the amenities you can imagine.The outside areas and creek below are very relaxing as well as an open Mountain View from the porch. Very private and homeowners will answer any questions you have about the area. Would highly recommend a stay here!!!
Relaxing and Invigorating! From porch time to bike trails and waterfalls! Lots to do.
One of the cleanest properties weâve ever stayed in. The owner was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating!
We loved sitting on the porch overlooking and listening to the creek, while watching deer and horses in the fields around the creek
We loved our stay! The owners were on site for anything we needed. The home was very Comfortable and private. We enjoyed it so much, we didn't want to leave!
Fantastic place to stay, quiet and beautiful area of the mountains. Jo and Jocelyn were very gracious, friendly, and enjoyable hosts.
Would recommend to anyone.
My husband and I come frequently to Franklin, including twice a year for the wholesale gem show. We are quiet folks, and when we stay somewhere, a peaceful location is very important. We couldnât have asked for a better place or location. The view of the mountain and the beautiful creek were exactly what we were hoping to find. We didnât have time to enjoy the firepit, but Iâm sure we will return and utilize it then. Everything was so clean and thoughtfully arranged. Everything we needed was provided. The notebook for guest information was perfect! We also enjoyed the information on places to eat. The furnishings were exactly right: a comfortable bed, comfy recliners, and a very well-equipped kitchen. Who could ask for more?While we didnât have the opportunity to meet Joceline, we enjoyed our conversations with Joseph. Such a welcoming host!Iâve been coming to Franklin since the 1960âs, and I must say that Iâve never stayed in a more comfortable and welcoming place. We highly recommend Creekside!Thank you, Joseph and Joceline!
My wife and I stayed 3 nights at this place in May, 2025. The pastoral view from the porch is worth the price of admission. If you get tired of watching the horses and creek below, the bird feeder just a few feet off the porch attracts many beautiful birds. The two Lazy Boy recliners in the living room is just icing on the cake. Finally, I found a VRBO with a beautiful porch view and some useful living room furniture. The host, Joe, was perfect. He was there to welcome us upon our arrival, gave us a nickel tour then left us alone. On our third and final night he informed us that the area may experience an overnight hail storm and offered us a garage to park our vehicle inside. While the hail never came that night I want to thank Joe for allowing me to park my vehicle safely in his garage while I was lounging in the lazy boy and listening to the rain fall outside. Thanks, Joe!
We were extremely pleased with the property, its location to many natural wonders, and the Volk's hospitality. We will certainly use this property again.
My husband and I absolutely love staying at Creekside! It is always quiet and peaceful. It's far enough from the busyness of town to enjoy the mountain view with the relaxing sound of the creek on the porch, but close enough to get to town with a short ride! We always hate to leave but look forward to our next visit! Thank you Jo and Joss for sharing Creekside with us again!
Joceline is a retired operating room RN with 28 years experience. Joseph, also retired is a jack of several trades. An auto mechanic, art gallery owner, heavy equipment operator and tractor trailer driver all crammed into 40 odd years. Still working part time on truck wreck recovery and driving a heavy wrecker.
Time seems to stop and stresses melt away while taking in the country side views and the sounds of the creek . A fantastic place to unwind from the fast pace of every day life.
