About this property

Smoky Mountain Creek Front Privacy

Private cottage on serene creek that has all the necessities. Located on a quiet, 1 lane, gravel, dead end road. This is the perfect setting for a relaxing vacation. There is no internet and no cell service here. There is a landline Fishing (catch & release), hiking and nature watching are just a few of the great things. In close proximity to shopping, restaurants, entertainment. Stay and just chill out or use this as home base for nearby day trips, the choice is yours. The main bedroom has screen door to porch so that you can be lulled to sleep by the rushing water or you can lay in bed and watch the deer drink from the creek. Wine time on the porch is the ultimate in relaxation.

Beavers in the creek

Let's start with the most beautiful views of the river and mountain i have ever stayed at. My dad wife and i had an amazing time at the house. We had fires ate food and just relaxed. We saw deer almost every morning, plus a beaver swam up the creek rite in front of us it was definitely our favorite part because we never seen one in person. Highly recommend great location and close to restaurants and grocery .

This was an amazing place stay. The location on a stream looking across to the meadow where we could deer playing in the mornings and evenings was enchanting. The sound of the water was relaxing and it was a great place to relax and unwind. We loved our stay.

TROUBLE IN TRANQUILITY

I was very disappointed with the response from the management company in regards to a proper and fair compensation for the cost of my lodging. Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather my family and I was unable to check in. Per the advise of VRBO, I reached out to the property manager and we were unable to reach a compromise. I would have appreciated some kind gesture of empathy. However, after several attempts from management “I was advised that they can’t control the weather”. I acknowledged the fact that I didn’t have travel insurance and indeed I learned a valuable lesson. I am not asking for a refund however I would like to have a credit of the amount spent to use towards a future stay at the cabin. I would even be okay if the cleaning fee was deducted although my family was unable to check in. A little flexible is all that I am requesting, it is such a beautiful place and I look forward to the opportunity to visit in the near future.

Amazing Stay

We stayed over Memorial weekend for our babymoon and it could not have been more perfect. My husband enjoyed trout fishing in the creek, and I read along side him. Drinking tea on the porch listening to the creek was magical. The house was cozy and had everything we would need. The added bonus was it being so unplugged (no cell service or wifi) which allowed us to relax and just enjoy each others company.

Just Amazing

If you are looking for peace, quiet and seclusion you will find it all here. You are in close proximity to shops and restaurants. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable. For me, the selling point was the creek right outside the back door! We will definitely be making a return trip!!!

Tranquility

We couldn't wait to come back to this wonderful home. It had been a few years since we last visited. No matter the season, it is always so relaxing to come and stay. No internet, no cell phone - just pure relaxation. Listening to the creek and watching the deer in the meadow were all the entertainment we needed. It was wonderful to just sit back and relax by the fire pit. Looking forward to our next visit!

Cozy creekside

This was our second stay and was just as wonderful as our first. It even rained 2 days and we didn't mind having to stay in at our cozy cabin and relax. Loved the cool "Fall" front that came through. We will definitely be back for another season to enjoy one of our favorite cabins.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
WE, Rick and Penny Sellers, live on this same road. We love the outdoors and all nature has to offer. Rick is a builder and commercial property owner, Penny a hairdresser and outdoor enthusiast.

Why they chose this property

This location is a walk through the woods to our home. It was built in the 1970's and was a part time summer home for the previous owners. When they became too elderly to attend to it we were able to purchase it so that it would adjoin our property. The cottage sits just feet away from the creek and you can no longer build a structure this close to the water anymore.

What makes this property unique

The privacy makes this location perfect for a romantic getaway or honeymoon. A great way for a small family to reconnect to each other and nature. The quiet and serenity that it offers naturally is unsurpassed.
