About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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

Creekside is a tobacco free property located on 6 acres nestled in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina alongside Drymans Creek. We have just one rental unit, on the lower level of our home so when 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 overlooks Drymans Creek with a view of the mountains and a horse pasture. You'll have 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 gems, our area is the gem capital of the world, 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 which has been 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. The road in is a hard packed gravel road maintained by the State. 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. If you are interested in seeing the mountain and waterfalls behind Creekside by side X side we can arrange a tour for you! You won't run out of things to do just time to do them!
Please note our Rules & Policies.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This is my second time staying at this lovely vacation home. Joe is amazing as a host and just a lovely man. He gave us a great tour of the mountain and we had such a wonderful time, relaxing and enjoying the sounds of the creek and privacy. We’re already planning our next visit.
