Romantic Creekside Cabin only 3 miles from Downton Bryson City!

Romantic Creek side Getaway! Covered porch just steps away from Lands Creek. Enjoy the sounds of rushing water from the rockers on the creek side porch or just outside your bedroom window. There is an outdoor fire ring for relaxing by the creek under the stars!

Our personal favorite for the couple who is looking to get away. Cozy living room opens to creek side covered porch. The master bedroom with king size bed adjoins master bath featuring a two-person whirlpool tub looking down the creek. Peaceful and romantic.

This cabin was an absolute gem! It was spotlessly clean, cozy, and packed with charm, making our stay pure bliss. The firepit and grill were fantastic for evening BBQs, and the nearby creek added such a serene vibe—perfect for unwinding. The views were stunning, and the cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Check-in was seamless, and the whole experience was flawless. We’re already planning our next visit! Highly recommend!

After missing the mountains for 8 years this quant cabin we booked did not fail. It was super clean, anything you needed to cook with was there (except the food) including spices. The king bed was a surprise of comfort, it slept really well. Our favorite part was sitting on the porch listening to & watching the creek run right infront of us. We highly recommend & will be back.

Beautiful, cozy, peaceful cabin.

Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. We were looking for a few days away from "life" and stress. Your cabin was so cozy, beautiful & peaceful. The creek just steps away from the door was so relaxing, listening to the water. I only wish we could have stayed longer & it was a tad warmer but overall....we absolutely loved this cabin & being in the middle of nowhere. Hope to stay here again!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great location. Nice cabin. There was no internet and I reached out to two different people to try and resolve the issue with no response. Also, the bed smelled horrible and the sheets were ripped.

Peaceful Cabin on a Loud Creek

Drive down the hill into the valley meadow and feel the stress drain away. Sit next to the creek and read a book. We stayed in Squirrels Nest and will definitely be back. You can stop looking for the perfect spot. You just found it.

Squirrels Nest was amazing. My husband and I spent the weekend, it was very quiet (except for the roaring creek)and private. Every time we stepped outside we wondered if it was pouring rain. Which we absolutely loved. The property owner is very sweet and polite. Bed was comfortable, kitchen was equipped with pots pans and utensils. Very clean. Will definitely be staying again soon. Thank you for your hospitality!

Serenity

This cabin is absolutely fabulous! From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were home. The space was clean and had everything we needed to prepare and cook our meals. The location could not have been better as the cabin is very close to the creek and the sound of the rushing water was soothing to the soul. The furniture, along with the bed, was so comfortable - we slept like babies. The fire pit was fantastic and having fire wood already at the sight was a real treat so thank you for that very kind gesture. My only complaint was that we had to leave! This cabin is on my most favorite place to stay list and I can't wait to visit again. Robin and Sue, thank you so much!!

Remote Getaway Bliss

My wife and I celebrated her recent retirement at this beautiful remote location. The property is gorgeous and well-kept, and we enjoyed every minute of hearing the steady flow of Lands Creek right outside of our cabin. The owner's stay very busy maintaining all of the cabins in good condition. We plan to return this fall for a mountain view cabin to see the fall color.

Enjoyed our stay.

The property was beautiful and well kept but unfortunately the view from our porch looked at two transport trailers which tainted our view. No comfortable place to put our luggage. The cabin was clean. Don't think Vrbo gave accurate description as to the type of property.
