Irresistible Charm And Tranquility

If you're looking for the quintessential log cabin getaway on your own private creek, you've found it! Nestled in the woods along Old Fields Creek, Creekside Escape is the ultimate in charm and personality. It's a small home with a big heart, in an unbeatable location.

The setting is utter perfection for anyone seeking stress-relief and the serenity of nature. Although the trickling song of a “babbling brook” may sound cliché, there truly is a unique and irresistible lullaby quality to it that eases the soul. Enjoy the delight of just sitting on the deck, or at the edge of the creek, trailing your feet in the water.

Unlike many mountain cabins, this home also offers a grassy yard for the kids and dogs play, complete with lawn chairs. The spacious deck is equipped with comfortable seating and a dining area, including a propane grill. Since the deck is just steps from the kitchen, you'll find this to be an unbeatable spot for tranquil – and yet convenient – dining al fresco. You won't know true relaxation until you've been in a hot tub in the woods, surrounded by trees, listening to the creek, with stars overhead.

The interior of the cabin is cozy, with a cathedral ceiling, gas fireplace and unique, appealing decor. Tasteful decorating fills the cabin. The open floor plan inspires socializing, as it brings the kitchen, lounging and entertainment areas together, directly adjacent to the large deck. The well-equipped kitchen accommodates wonderful entertaining and at-home meals, complete with a dishwasher for easy clean-up. After dinner, enjoy the fireplace and TV from the attractive and comfortable couches.

You'll find a number of sleeping options in this well-designed cabin, including a loft with a queen-sized bed, a delightful enclosed sun porch, also with a queen, and a hidden cubby-hole “bedroom” kids will adore.

This home gives you the chance to get away from it all, at an affordable price, in a setting you'll still think of fondly, years later. And you can still connect to your world with wireless internet and satellite TV.

Explore The High Country

Creekside Escape is nestled in a private setting in West Jefferson, just 2 minutes from the Mountain Aire golf course and 10 minutes from downtown. West Jefferson is small-town Americana at its finest. You'll find restaurants and terrific shopping, including antiques, crafts and art galleries. Watch cheese being made at the famous Ashe County Cheese Factory and don't miss the quaint general store, stocked with ice cream, fudge and all sorts of other tasty treats. Feel as if you've stepped back in time while walking through West Jefferson.

The New River wanders peacefully throughout Ashe County, offering visitors amazing days filled with fishing, swimming, canoeing, tubing or kayaking. Several nearby river outfitters will quickly hook you up with everything you need. Other outdoor activities here include hiking, biking, horseback riding, and ziplines during the warmer months, or sledding, snowboarding and skiing all winter long. The ski resort at Sugar Mountain is only 40 minutes away. You can also take your kids to the Tweetsie Railroad between Boone and Blowing Rock, or let them mine for gems!

But don't forget that irresistible mountain scenery at every turn. Fall is indescribably gorgeous.

Dogs Welcome! Must be well behaved, leash/crate trained, 2 years or older and 45lbs or less. $50 / per pet. 2 dog limit.

Charming cottage

Nice, clean, cute little house with a fantastic hot tub. My only quibble is it was listed as two bedrooms but in fact there are no bedrooms - rather a loft open to the floor below and then two beds tucked into corners of the downstairs living area... It was fine for us but surprising!

Birthday Getaway

Had a great weekend staying at the cabin for a girls weekend to celebrate my birthday! The cabin is so cute and cozy! The corner sleeping nook was my favorite, and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. We loved the hot tub by the creek and using the firepit. Thanks for a great weekend!

Cozy and quiet

Though there were only 2 adults for our stay, this cabin would easily accommodate 6 (as long as everyone can schedule around 1 bathroom). Very clean, well appointed, and directions for use of pretty much everything in the house were included. Outdoor area (deck, hot tub, fire pit, creekside porch) is fabulous, and would be great for adults and kids any time of the year. This home made for a peaceful weekend.

Reviewer Comments: The same things that didn't work (stove, dining room light, lamps) described in the 10/10 visitors from Raleigh were still in same condition for me. Cobwebs on the note board by the kitchen sink and dusty bookshelf area.... Place was peaceful and in good location. I will come back.

Cute, comfy cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this cute little cabin. A few little problems upon arriving but the wonderful rental company took care of things right away. We loved sleeping in sunroom listening to the creek. Quirky light switches..or trying to find them. But cabin has everything needed for a great stay. Close to everything but you still feel extremely private. Thank you for allowing us to occupy this cute little cabin. Cabin was extremely clean and well kept.

STEP INTO A STORYBOOK FAIRYTALE......

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the moment you drive through the dense landscape and enter the idyllic grounds, you are transported to a magical place. Everything about this rental is unique and inviting, touching all your senses and instilling one with a sense of peace. Not too big, not too small....just perfect for our family of 5 adults/teens. Beds are comfy, kitchen is well stocked, as is the bathroom. Water pressure is a bit low and it was a little warm with no AC (we visited in mid August), but not a crisis. It is about 13 miles from App State...a bit further than we imagined but a beautiful drive nonetheless. This is quite the find and I would strongly reccomend the experience! We will definitely be back.....

Practically perfect retreat!

Came on my own to recharge my introvert battery, and this place was such a great place to do it. The fireplace keeps the whole cabin cozy, even with high winds and single digit wind chills! The hot tub was the perfect place to soak and enjoy the snow falling all around me. The back deck would be perfect for small groups and there’s enough yard for kids to play if you have them with you. The kitchen was more equipped than the listing indicated, but does need a big stock pot. The location was perfect- there were houses all around but I could only really see one across the creek and way up the hill. There are SO many rhododendrons that I can only imagine the beauty when they bloom. The house feels so private and quiet but you are maybe 5-10 minutes from West Jefferson. The driveway is the steepest part of your trek in and out, and it’s not bad. Things to keep in mind: -every bed downstairs is elevated with only a small step stool to get in and out. Because they are wedged into corners it’d be a bit tricky to have 2 adults in there! One of the beds is on a platform thing so high that it really needs a two-step stool to climb in and out. -the third bed is up a tiny, narrow spiral staircase that I wouldn’t have felt comfortable navigating for middle of the night potty breaks downstairs. I loved my stay and hope to come back again next year.

Minor things would’ve made this a great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While we made some great memories with our children I will say this is the first time my husband and I have not LOVED a cabin. We never really got comfortable there for a few reasons. There was an overwhelming stale and old odor to the home. The blankets, throws and carpets even the couch had a dingy feel and look to it. You could tell the place had not been vacuumed organ been dusted anywhere. I tried to find candle to light I even found a oil burner that had wax melts I tried to use to cover this smell. If someone before us had a dog the futon upstairs had dog hair in the fibers of the bed so when we put our two year old to sleep we covered it with blankets that smelled old but not the worst. Other than that we made the most of it. I was really appreciative of the toys left in the coffee table of the living room as we let our daughter play with them but those too needed a wash down. Everything else was ok.
