Perfect Location for Relaxation
We spent the day exploring the area and the evenings enjoying the serenity of Watia Creekside. The screened in porch overlooking the creek was heavenly. We spent most of our time on the porch and enjoying good conversation, a rarity in this day and time. We look forward to our next stay at Watia. Thank you for a great time and wonderful memories in your beautiful home.

Watia Creekside Cabin - Fantastic Stay
My husband and I stay in Bryson City a week every year. We love NC Mountain Realty. The communication is outstanding and the response time is usually daily. Anytime we have had any issues, they were fixed the same day or the expectations were spelled out. Watia Creekside was a great location. Roads were easy to navigate and a perfect central location to multiple things to do. Great Smokey Mountain Railroad, locate shopping, and waterfalls. The creek was wonderful while sleeping at night. We will definitely be staying at Watia Creekside in the future. Thank you for a great experience.

Beautiful Cabin & Setting
The property was beautiful and very clean. Our favorite part was sitting on the porch in front of the fireplace. The only thing we would change would be the garbage disposal routine. It would be nice not to have to take the trash to the dump ourselves. No complaints otherwise!

Wonderful Cabin
We came to the area to do the Polar Express and see a different part of the state. This was about one of the nicest cabins we have ever stayed. It was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Very will stocked. Extremely comfortable beds. Highly recommend. Thinking of coming back when the lake is at summer pool.

Incredible Mountain Getaway
If you want to relax and get away from it all in a luxurious and comfortable mountain retreat, we highly recommend Watia Creekside. It was definitely hard to leave this lovely home - well equipped kitchen, comfy master suite, hot tub, stream, fire pit, indoor and outdoor fireplaces - it had everything we needed for a tranquil mountain getaway. The home is super nice, but not "fussy", and it was very pet friendly - our dog Sadie had a blast. Easy access to so many great spots to hike. Exactly what we were hoping for!

Peaceful Oasis
Watia Creekside did not disappoint and was everything we were looking for in a relaxing property to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The creek was the most therapeutic experience and made for a relaxing vibe the entire week. Also enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch and caught an afternoon thunderstorm! The property access to the NOC, waterfalls, hiking, and beautiful lake Fontana was convenient and private. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and had easy access to dropping kayaks via the private dock in the community. The cabin itself was luxurious, yet cozy and had all we needed to cook daily. The master bed was like sleeping on a fluffy cloud. We opened the bedroom window and listened to the creek babble all night! Highly recommend staying here and we would return in a heartbeat!

A little slice of paradise
From the moment you pull in the driveway, you’ll never want to leave! Beautiful, clean cottage with everything you need. We loved the kitchen nook for eating and playing games; the loft with foosball table; the screened porch with gas fireplace; the hot tub and the wonderful sounds of the creek while enjoying the fire pit-complete with split wood!

Perfect Mountain Get Away
This house is really lovely for 4 adults and perhaps a child or 2. I do not recommend adults sleep in the upstairs portion. It is very well stocked, beautifylly kept, clean, tastefully decorated and really has everything you need for a fantastic time in the NC mountains. We would definately stay again when we are back in the area. The management company is super nice and very responsive.

Watia Creekside is one amazing property. The home is stunning and the grounds are beautiful. The home is very clean and has wonderful beds and pillows. The kitchen is what every person would love.

Worth every penny, HIGHLY recommended
This place was immaculate & our jaws hit the floor when we got to the property. I have stayed at many properties over the years & this checked ALL the boxes. Beautiful property & the stream flowing behind the house (next to the fire pit!) couldn’t have been more perfect. The hot tub was already heated & ready for us! Can’t say enough fabulous things about this place. WE WILL COME BACK! Book it, you will not regret it.

Love the house and setting
It was a little nerve wracking getting to the property especially the 1st time with all the switchbacks! The home was gorgeous! If you are TV people it won’t be your favorite as there is a tv in the family room and the loft but none in the bedrooms or the outside porch We lost internet our second day for the week ( it came back the night before we checked out) so with no WiFi and no cell service we had to drive to the top of the mountain to check in with civilization! It was not the fault of anyone, the line had been cut somewhere up the mountain But if you are looking to unplug for a while it is a wonderful place to do so! Being creek side by the fire pit was so great! Just listening to the water from the screened in porch was so relaxing! The beds were so comfortable!!!!!! All in all a beautiful place and I would highly recommend!!!

Creekside Is Amazing!
We have been coming to this area for over 10yrs and this is probably the best house we’ve stayed at. The home is gorgeous, very clean and very well stocked. There are directions for everything in the home, the beds and pillows were super comfortable! The hot tub was a huge hit and the fire pit creek side was very relaxing. I will say it’s best to try to arrive during the daylight as the mountain road up has quite a few sharp curves and it’s dark. Ingles is close by for groceries and we enjoyed a few hours at the restaurants on property at NOC. The only thing I wish was better was the area for parking - we had two large SUV’s and it was a tight fit in the driveway. Other than that we had a very relaxing fantastic fall vacation!
