Tranquil Elegance, Secluded & Romantic-Luxury Retreat by Beautiful Creek

THE ULTIMATE ROMANTIC GETAWAY BY THE CREEK - Come and see God's natural beauty displayed for your enjoyment! Secluded on a beautiful 20 acre tract in gated Leatherwood Mountains. A Luxury One Bedroom Log Cabin built by a local architect husband / wife team that put 3 years into building this beautiful log cabin. You will love the complete privacy of the surrounding wildlife and a year-round rocky creek you see from every room. Take note of the master bathroom! It is as if you are outside while relaxing in our jet tub or enjoying our rain shower. The outdoor salt water hot tub is great for a soothing massage while listening to the creek and sounds of the forest, without any harsh chemicals to irritate sensitive skin, so all can enjoy!

The creek waterfalls are lit along the way so you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the creek even in the evening. (The light switch for the nighttime creek lights is inside the master bathroom... and you can shut it off when you like.) The property comes alive at night! The hammock trail is also lit, along with the moonshine still. :o)
Brand new deck has just been completed that overlooks the creek. Great place for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.

We have a fireplace (during cold winter months) and are allowed 2 armfuls of wood. We advise to stop by Walmart or Lowes Hardware (or any store that sells bundles of wood) if you are a lover of fires and intend on using more than the allowable amount. We do ask that you do NOT bring any "DURAFLAME" or similar products to be used in the fireplace. Please use wood only. The waxy buildup from these products is horrible on our chimney and can actually cause chimney fires. Please do not bring any liquid flame starter to the cabin to be used in the fireplace. Bring newspaper for starting fires please. You will want to bring extra wood anyway so that you can enjoy the new fire pit we just built. It is a great place to sit and relax, and enjoy nature!

This is a perfect sanctuary to celebrate your special day or just de-stress your busy life. A place to feel close to God and enjoy His majestic creation! It is an ideal place for your special celebrations, honeymoon, anniversary or just a romantic getaway.

Creekside Cabin is built within a private equestrian development known as Leatherwood Mountains, located close to Blue Ridge Parkway, Boone, Blowing Rock and Wilkesboro.

Visit CreeksidecabinNC com for more information about our cabin and some cool videos as well.

** SOMETHING TO POINT OUT ** At time of booking, if you choose not to do the $59 insurance policy, VRBO will charge you the maximum amount of $1500 refundable deposit. (Their policy, not ours) Just wanted to prepare you for that large refundable deposit if you choose not to do the insurance policy.

Activities: Good fishing at Elk Creek (License Required), Community Tennis Court & Swimming Pool(summer), Wilkesboro YMCA -Good GYM- on NC268, about 20 miles from Leatherwood. My favorite things to do is take a scenic drive through Blue Ridge Parkway stop at several beautiful spots for picnic and leisurely stroll along easy trails or hike to waterfalls. Grandfather Mountain is a well known spot along the Parkway. You can go to Blowing Rock, a small resort town with nice shops and restaurants about 25 miles away. You can do white water rafting, canoeing or zip line adventure though the outfitters in Boone. There are many miles of horse back trail rides through Leatherwood Mountains stable or other stables in Boone area. There are several wineries to explore in the nearby areas. Most of our guests just want to stay around the cabin and relax in the private mountain setting. Bring groceries because I bet you will feel the same way!

Perfection

This is by far the most Zen property we have EVER stayed at. Everything you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. If you are looking for some time away with a loved one, or even on your own, this is the place for you. This place is secluded, private, and the owner's have clearly thought through the details. Very rarely do we visit a place more than once. We love seeing new things, but my wife and I both agree, this is going to become a go to for us when we need a weekend of solitude.

BOOK NOW!

If you are second guessing staying here, book it now. You will not be disappointed. This cabin is everything in the pictures and more. What a fantastic way to unwind from everyday life! The kitchen is clean and has the essentials. This place is laid out so well it feels like your own home after 5 min inside.

Paradise

A little piece of heaven. I can’t say enough how beautiful and peaceful this place is. If you like to be around nature but still with comfort this is the place. The cabin is very Unique. Great for pictures too. You can hear the sound of the rushing creek from every room in the cabin. This was our second time here. Already planning to come back again.

Our second stay here!

This was our second stay, and it was just as wonderful... A quiet, private mountain/creekside getaway for 2. The cabin is comfortable and luxurious, the kitchen is stocked with utensils & supplies, and the grounds are fun to explore. A couple tips for visitors: 1) We didn't use the hot tub this time, as I think it was in economy mode and we didn't realize that until it was too late... So check that first and give it time to warm up! 2) There is a Keurig, so bring your K-cups. 3) Enjoy the time away from your cell service and relax :)

Had a wonderful time staying at the cabin!! Me and my wife got engaged there back in January 2021. We got married a year ago, and we were excited to return to the cabin for our one year anniversary! It was just as amazing this time as the last. So glad that we got to enjoy this beautiful place again :)

Creekside

This property is secluded, and sits in a breathtaking natural spot. The notched log main areas and bedroom quarters are very well built, with impressive rock masonry throughout. I appreciated the architecture and antiques, and my wife was a big fan of the huge, super-comfy bed, and the wonderfully unique master bath/en suite. In this case, you truly do get what you pay for. The owners are great, and are concerned that you have a wonderful stay. Thanks Vickie and AJ for being willing to share this wonderful property.

Absolutely amazing!

The cabin and property exceeded our expectations! The master bedroom and bath were spectacular. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub at night and loved how the property lit up, it was magic! The back porch was perfect for morning coffee and playing games and reading in the afternoons. We haven’t been so relaxed in years! We are already dreaming of coming back!

A lovely secluded retreat for our honeymoon

Even better than we imagined, and we already want to go back! A beautiful, private, well-appointed, luxurious getaway tucked into the mountains. Access is through a quiet, gated community (with hilly but paved roads), but the home is on a private street and private land, with your own private creek view and mountain hiking trail... We didn't see a single person the whole time! The location is definitely remote, with no cell service but good wifi, so plan and pack accordingly. It's not a close or easy drive to anything. But, the house is well-stocked, and the owners provide an excellent welcome email with all the details you'll need... There was a technical issue where we didn't receive the email in advance, but they corrected it right away. The master bathroom is definitely the highlight, with the creekside hot tub with "magic lights" not far behind. Everything worked as expected, and I can't think of anything I'd really change, except maybe for less rain during our stay :) Shh, don't tell your friends, you'll want to keep this secret getaway all to yourself!

About the host

Hosted by AJ & Vickie Plummer

Host profile image
We fell in love with the architecture design of the log cabin, just like I know you will.
We bought it from the couple that designed and built the cabin. We are honored to carry on the romantic rental vacation home, just as they intended to share with us.

Why they chose this property

It feels like you are in a National Forest with natural surroundings and no other houses in sight. The creek is what makes this place so heavenly! Leatherwood homes are within a gated community with shared amenities such as swimming pool and tennis courts. There are 75 miles of trails for walking or riding horses throughout Leatherwood. Wonderful fishing with a purchased fishing license along the surrounding river.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is a one of a kind architectural designed beauty that is surrounded by the wonderful sounds of the creek. The grounds are lit at night so you can enjoy the creek waterfalls even in the evening. We looked for years and years to find a romantic spot like this to celebrate our anniversary and when we did... we BOUGHT IT! ;o)
We want to share God's beauty with others, hopefully restore and enrich marriages.
