About this property

Creekside in the Smoky Mtns. has a rejuvenating quality. Something we all need!

Creekside is located on 6 acres nestled in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina alongside Drymans Creek. We have just one rental unit, so booking a stay at Creekside, you will be the only guest. It is 800 square feet all on one level from your car to the door with bath and shower one step up. The unit has been remodeled on the lower level of our home overlooking Drymans Creek with a view of the mountains and a horse pasture . It has a covered deck and private entrance. It is most private and quiet. Listen to the serene sounds of the crystal clear water rushing over the rocks, take in the mountain view from the deck with the creek below. Watch horses graze in the neighboring pasture. Walk the creek taking in natures splendor. You might like to pan for gold or hunt for arrow heads in the creek! Hike the many trails nearby. You will especially want to visit Pickens Nose a rock outcrop on top of the mountain and stand at 5200 ft and look into the valley below. The Appalachian trail is nearby and water falls abound. Our area has been the setting for Hollywood movies too! The original "Fugitive" was filmed nearby. The train wreck is still visible too! "Deliverance", "Last of the Mohicans". Most recently "3 Bill Boards Outside Ebbing Missouri" to mention a few. If you are an antique motorcycle enthusiast you'll want to visit "Wheels Through Time" motorcycle museum showcased on TV as the show "What's in the barn". There's so much to see and do you won't want to leave! Motorcycles are welcome with easy access from highway. We have covered parking for motorcycles if needed. Also in the event of a motorcycle break down, we have a trailer setup for transporting large touring bikes and a good shop to take it to.

Relaxing and Invigorating! From porch time to bike trails and waterfalls! Lots to do.

One of the cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed in. The owner was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating! We loved sitting on the porch overlooking and listening to the creek, while watching deer and horses in the fields around the creek

Great Times

A business trip in the grasp of Hurricane Helene. The location and abode was great. A getaway into the mountains with beautiful scenery in spite of the storm. Owners are great, friendly folks and their goal is to make you happy and welcome. Will definitely visit again, hopefully with better weather. All was well and we were extremely happy with the arrangement. Wonderful trip.

Beautiful and relaxing

My husband and I absolutely love staying at Creekside! It is always quiet and peaceful. It's far enough from the busyness of town to enjoy the mountain view with the relaxing sound of the creek on the porch, but close enough to get to town with a short ride! We always hate to leave but look forward to our next visit! Thank you Jo and Joss for sharing Creekside with us again!

What a gorgeous piece of property! The view of the noisy creek, the does and their fawns passing through daily and the groundhog and horses! We were entertained every day. I was reluctant to leave the deck for fear of missing something. Great accommodations and lovely owners! We will return.
