Great Smoky Mountain Creekside Cabin

Escape to this cozy, creekside cabin and leave your worries behind on your relaxing getaway. Enjoy your coffee while listening to the sweet sounds the rushing waters of the creek from the sprawling front porch. Nestled in the Upper Cartoogechaye River valley, this peaceful log cabin feels secluded, but is only a short ride to town to pick up supplies. Spend your days being lazy by the creek or explore the Nantahala National Forest only a few miles down the road.

The main level offers master style bedroom with a luxurious King size bed and full bathroom en suite with tub shower combo. The second bedroom is as cozy as the master with a comfy Queen bed and a full bathroom right outside it's door. Accessible by ladder, is the cozy loft with 2 single beds.
Open the door, breath the mountain air and listen to the sounds of the creek through the screen door. A fully stocked kitchen affords you all the luxuries of home or step outside and fire up the Weber charcoal grill. A remote start gas fire place will keep you warm on those cool mountain evenings. There is also an outdoor fire pit to enjoy roasting marshmallows and great conversation. Creekside Cabin offers 55 inch HD TV and wifi for those looking to stay connected.
Once you arrive at this charming cabin in the woods you will never want to leave!

We provide linens, dish soap, detergent, and toilet paper. You will need to bring your own charcoal and firewood for the outdoor fire pits.

All renters of Creekside Cabin will agree to release the property and it's owners form any and all liability associated with any personal loss or injury occurring at or near the above property. Cell phone service is spotty but there is a land line and wifi for outside communications.

We were looking for a nice, quiet cabin on a creek that we could just relax at for the week.....and that's just what Creekside Cabin is. We really enjoyed sitting by the firepit while our dog enjoyed the creek. Great place! We will definitely be back.

Absolutely lovely few days in the mountains. Property was well stocked, comfortable, adorable and peaceful. We spent many hours by the creek and our daughter loved the loft. Hosts were responsive and check in was easy. We look forward to staying here again.

Fireplace here was awesome for taking the morning chill off and our one pet, Lucy, a tiny golden retriever had a ball. The nice thing about the cabin for a family with a boy and a dog is it is easily cleaned and the porch on the outside facing a cool creek was most enjoyed by the boy and dog. The creek provided hours of entertainment for a six year old that lives in a city and has no access to water like this. Franklin has plenty of good restaurants and for hikers, this place is the bomb. Our favorite hike was to Pickens Nose which we had not been up to before this visit. Would happily go back again to the cabin,

My husband and I stayed four days at the cabin. We had an amazing time. The cabin was clean, the master bed was very comfortable, and the porch looking over looking the creek was so peaceful. We would definitely recommend this cabin for a quite, cozy stay.
