Tranquil Creek - Romantic hideaway/waterfall/creek cabin

Take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis. Quaint/rustic/secluded log cabin in the woods alongside a bubbling creek. You can listen to the gushing waters right from the deck creating a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere. Just a mile walk to your own private waterfall.
The space
The minute you pull into the driveway at Tranquil Creek you will view it's comfortable setting surrounded by trees and a rushing creek. As you step out of your car you will hear the sounds of the creek that stretches the entire length of the property boundary.

Upon entering the cabin you will immediately notice the fine natural cherry floors, pine wood construction and the sweet wood aroma that you would expect in a custom hand built mountain cabin. It is open, airy and spacious. It is truly a gem. With 2 Bedrooms and 2 baths, you will feel at home. One bedroom comes with an attached bath for privacy. The living room opens up to a well equipped kitchen where you can cook a sumptuous meal.

You can relax in the deck enjoying the view and sound of the creek. Listen to music, read a book, sip a cup of coffee in this beautiful setting.

Tranquil Creek Cabin is undoubtedly one of the most popular cabins available for guests who want to come and enjoy the wonders of the Great Smoky Mountains!

It's so peaceful you will forget all your worries and indulge in this peaceful oasis!!

Other things to note
Guests may hike a mile up above the cabin to a 100-foot waterfall! Gorgeous.

The last half mile to the cabin has narrow roads and you need to cross a shallow creek setting you up for an adventurous feel :). Please review pictures of the creek.

4 wheel drive vehicle will be needed if there is snow during your stay as the last half mile to the cabin is on gravel road as you can see in the pictures.

The house was clean but the dishes were dirty. The towels were not fresh. There were only utensils for 4 so if you need a 5th fork bring your own. The listing is for the creek. You could barely see it or get to it because it was so overgrown. There were lots of wildflowers which was great for butterflies and hummingbirds. The owner said to contact him for directions to the waterfall but he never responded. I would suggest putting the direction with the sign about the waterfall. It sounded like it was part of the property. It is not. It isn't very far. It is a mile hike once you get there. It is rugged terrain but worth the climb.

Very cute, cozy cabin. The creek in the yard was very loud but relaxing sitting on the porch. The description doesn’t mention that the cabin is on the very top of alarka though! That was a surprise, about a 15 minute drive going 20mph up a curvy mountain was annoying when we just needed to run to a store and the

2nd stay!

We loved it so much last year that we came back this year! The only caution I'd give is the road. It's truly in the mountains with narrow paths and steep inclines. The property is perfect. Honestly think i could just stay on the porch for a week! Thank you so much!

I've been vacationing in this area my whole life, and my husband informed me that we won't stay anywhere else from now on. The property is absolutely picture perfect. The owners were great about detailed information and communication.. the cabin beautifully maintained, the hot tub clean and gas grill were both ready to go, and the location with its creek is stunning! The firepit is the perfect place for s'mores and fireflies. We made precious family memories and are already planning our next trip! THANK YOU Jack and Ron!!
