Perfect place to get away from the daily routine to relax and enjoy nature. Lots of places to visit and enjoy the magnificent scenery at the same time. Cute place and big enough for a couple to spend quality time together watching tv, cooking, grilling sitting by the fire pit and the wonderful hot tub!! Had some questions and Shelby got back right away and was super friendly. We'll definitely come back again.
We booked for a week long anniversary trip. We usually camp/backpack but wanted something more comfy this year. Perfect for hiking and soothing muscles afterwards in the hot tub under the stars!! The road in front of the place had a rather large ditch probably due to water erosion, but thatâs not the owners fault!
I had a fantastic stay at this location. The cabin was clean, cozy, and provided ample parking for my truck with a trailer. The air conditioning was pleasantly cold, and the hot tub was a much-needed relief after a long 12 hour drive and a thrilling ride through the Tail of the Dragon.The convenience of having a general shop just 10 minutes away was a plus, and everyone at the property was friendly and welcoming.However, there were a few concerns during my stay. The seal on the mini fridge was faulty, requiring me to prop a small chair against the door to ensure my food and drinks stayed cold. Additionally, the cabin had a strong odor of cigarette smoke, particularly when I turned on the shower vent. Unfortunately, this resulted in all of my and my girlfriendâs clothes absorbing the smell, even after keeping the windows open all day and running the fan continuously.Another issue was with the lightingâwhen dimmed to the lowest setting, the lights flickered excessively, though they functioned properly when fully turned on.Also I'm not sure if the cabin was supposed to be tilted, but from the moment you walk in you can definitely tell the cabin is slanted toward the door and porch. Messed with my balance for a second until I got used to it. Despite these concerns, the overall experience was enjoyable, and the location had several positive attributes that made the stay worthwhile.
I am extremely satisfied, the property manager did an awesome job on making my anniversary get away excellent. Thank you so much for all your care and your immediate response. Thank you to the cleaning lady for helping making it happen. My wife is very very happy with everything, and thank you for the flowers. Many things to do and see in very close vicinity. The property is very nice for two ppl, comfortable, everything work, nice and clean. Was a good time to spent together building our relationship.
It was exactly as it was described. One room studio cabin and great to have stove and hot tub. It was extremely difficult to get our trailer up to it and barely turned around, so I would suggest only bringing a car or truck (do not bring a trailer!) cabin was just as it was described and AC was great.
This was my first experience using vrbo. The rental process was very easy and only took minutes. The property owner was very nice and professional answering any questions I had. We loved the location and the cabin was the perfect size. The only suggestion I could make would be for the owner to evaluate the bed. It was not comfortable. Other than that it was a wonderful experience!
We had a great stay with our pup. Plenty of room for him to roam and smell everything. We had great temperatures with some rain. No complaints at all would stay again for sure.
This cabin is perfectly sized for 2 people, and positioned perfectly to allow easy access to numerous areas (Gatlinburg, Asheville, Bryson City). Nature is right outside the front door and the night time sky is filled with stars. The owners of the property were amazingly helpful answering any and all questions and helping to make this a truly memorable vacation.
This little house was so cute, tables and headboard were gorgeous! Description was accurate, it's small, no problem for us just keep it in mind. The best part was how easy it was to come and go on a motorcycle. Most cabins we've rented have seemingly endless dirt roads, this had about a tenth of a mile, one wide curve and a very slight incline. If you have any experience riding on dirt you won't have any problems. Plenty of room to park a trailer (ours is 7"x16" plus extended cab truck) although turning it around was a little tricky. There is a driveway though just before the house you can back into, just make sure you have a good spotter to help. There is another house next door, but the deck and hot tub face away from it, so as long as your neighbors aren't noisy you won't notice it. The road is also right next to the house, but it wasn't busy, we saw maybe three cars during the day. I usually look for complete seclusion, but knew this ahead of time and was willing to compromise in exchange for having a road that was easy to travel. The owner is awesome!! Immediate responses and completely honest and up front, even said this may not be ideal for two people for a full weeks because of the size (for my husband and I it was perfectly fine, we spend most of our time outside or in the bike anyway). Overall great place to stay, only reason I gave four stars on location was my preference for seclusion, but again, I knew there were neighbors ahead of time and chose it anyway, and that's just a matter of preference! I would definitely recommend renting for this owner as well, she is great!
We stayed here for 2019 MOTD. My husband is 6'2" and felt fine in this tiny home. The hot tub was a great add. We slept with the windows cracked to hear the gurgling brook outside the window.
The host was wonderful! Super fast response time and very helpful with locating property.
My wife and I stayed here with our dog for a winter vacation and loved every minute! The cabin was not hard to find and was in a great location. It was so quiet, all you could hear was running water. The hot tub was awesome! Bed was comfy, pillows were soft, water was hot when we needed it to be, and the ac/heat worked well!
The cabin was small but provided us with a very intimate experience. My wife and I reconnected on a whole new level and came back home like a couple of newlyweds! Something about this cabin and the mountains of NC were absolutely magical and brought us together closer than ever before. I highly recommend a trip like this to any couple!!
What an amazing place! The Creekside Cricket was perfect! The area was beautiful, the decor was well done, and we had a wonderful romantic get-away!! I can't wait to come back!!!!
Thank you so much!!!
You can't control the weather and it RAINED every day. So I was stuck in a much too small cabin with not one comfortable place to sit. That bed was like a rock so sitting in/on it was not a welcome option. I ended up going into town and buying a lawn chair so I could at least sit and read. Bathroom was small but nice - but what is the reasoning behind the tiny toilet seat?
We had an amazing time in the creek side cricket. Very relaxing in the hot tub and the scenery around the cabin was beautiful!! Canât wait to come back!! The dogs loved the creek and backyard area running and playing.
I go by Shelby and I am a sagittarius:) Which makes me a lover of travel and adventure . I like to write, read, eat really good food in really nice or really unusual restaurants, and listen to all kinds of music (country, jazz, blues, classical, old rock) I appreciate a finely crafted cocktail and prefer "top shelf". My husband and I have 10 horses (mostly quarter horses) and we like to trail ride at the beach and numerous state parks. I am a fan of camping. I would like to work on the "glamping" thing. I work full time as a realtor in NE Florida. I specialize in St. Augustine which is the oldest city in the US! My work keeps me really busy but I like it as I get to work with buyers and sellers from all different walks of life and I get to see a lot of nice homes. I like renovation projects best as I love to see an old home with good bones get new life. In early life I grew up on 40 acres in Pennsylvania. I moved to S. Florida in the 80's and now live near St. Augustine, FL.
My husband and I used to walk by this farm regulary when we would stay at our other vacation home and say wouldnt that be nice to have someday. And then one day there was a for sale sign in the yard and the rest is history. We love the acreage, So much room, so much privacy, so much beauty! We enjoy the sound of the creek as it slowly meanders through the property and we love to see the wildlife as it appears. We were also very sold on the easy access and the convenience of the location to all the area's ammenities and activities! This lil cabin in one of two cabins on this huge and private property. It was formerly a dog grooming parlor. I did a complete renovation of the building and made sure to squeeze in every ammenity and upgrade I could think of when I was bringing this adorable 200sf of space to life!
Super close to NOC, Lake Fontana, Smokey Mountain Railroad. Super easy access on a paved road and gravel road with plenty of room to park vehicles and or a boat. Really quiet and peaceful setting but so close to so many wonderful things to do!
