A peaceful retreat where you can reset your brain and not do anything you don't have to. Sitting on the deck listening to the creek in the front yard, watching the deer....the best medicine for anyone. Alisha is the best. Good communication and helpful with the area. We can't wait to go back.

A great locale - close to Boone and Banner Elk. Dutch Creek was beautiful and peaceful, and the family angler was ecstatic - the first 3 casts caught 3 trout! (They were released, of course). The deck with the autumn trees, a large herd of deer grazing on the property, fire pit, hot tub, and the comforts of a home made this experience just the respite it was intended to be.

Hello. I just wanted to tell you how beautiful and peaceful my stay was. The cabin was very clean and everything was in good order upon arrival. It was very easy navigating the check in procedure compared to others VRBO I have stayed. The scenery is spectacular as the leaves have started their autumn show and the sounds of the waterfall into a great looking pool below will ease the tension away. Just an amazing place with gracious hosts always available. I'd give it 10 starts it I could.

To begin with the hostess after booking the stay at the creek side in valle crusis, the hostess never provided a vode to get in and when we arrived at the house we couldn't get in and had to wait for aover a half hour for her to respond and give us the code .It was in a location that loomed like delivance and vey sketchy, the windows had all old ac units in them.and a loud dehumidifier kept kicking on all the time with a hissing noise . When we finally got in it looked kind of run down and the bathroom was very small and the counter space was small and couldn't fit our toothbrushes and bathroom belongings. The bed and the bedrooms were the worst , the bed was all springs and was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever been in , i woke up in the middle of the night with a terrible back ache . The walls were bare and it felt so uncomfortable and uninviting . It felt like a prison and thats no exaggeration at all. My wife and i left in the middle of the night and got a hotel room in banner elk just to get through the night and get some sleep. The lodge in banner elk was a 75% upgrade compared to the creek side cottage in valle crusis. That was the worst experience I and my wife have ever had on a vacation . I don't recommend anyone stay at the creek side cottage. We are now disputing the charges for the stay that we didn't even stay.

The creek is amazing. Deep enough to wade into. Location is convenient to Banner Elk (you have to try the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster!!) and Boone (have to try Coyote Kitchen and Stick Boy!) While you're at it head up Beech Mountain in the summer and ride the chair lift to the top (there's a bar up there) and watch the mountain bikers ride down the mountain. House was convenient to all of this! Can't wait to return. Oh yeah, the homemade sour dough bread and jam are a welcome surprise.

Great little stay at the creek

Couldn’t ask for a better place to relax and catch (and release) crayfish and lighting bugs. We had a lovely stay, love coming to this part of the state. We’d love to return sometime soon.

Had a great weekend getaway.

What an exhilarating weekend we had! We kicked things off with a delightful visit to the winery, where the atmosphere was simply electric. Then, we explored the charming Blowing Rock shops, discovering unique treasures at every turn. To top it all off, we savored an amazing steak in Banner Elk that was nothing short of unforgettable!

Winter break family trip

We had a great stay in Creekside Cottage. We surprised our kids over winter break with a Mountian get away. The creek was beautiful. We could image coming back in the summer to cool off on a hot day. The house was about 25 to 30 min from all the activities we had planned. We also enjoyed the hot tub.

We had the best time at Creek Side Cottage! Perfectly cozy for my little family of 3. Loved the Christmas decorations inside and the hot tub with the snowy weather. We would love to return in the spring to enjoy the creek too! Perfect location for Sugar Mountain and Tweetsie railroad!

Great Anniversary Getaway!

We celebrated our 28th anniversary and wanted to get away. This perfect little nugget nestled above the Boone area provided us with everything we were looking for. Very well stocked and exceptionally clean. Great patio area with the sounds of the creek and a hot tub to enjoy on the cool evening's and a morning soak. The property owner was VERY responsive. We will definitely stay here again.

LDW getaway

Convenient location for our plans to go to ASU football game and hiking trails in Valle Crucis. My kids loved playing in the creek! We stayed busy so unfortunately didn’t spend a lot of time relaxing at the cabin, but it’s the perfect place for a weekend getaway.

Wonderful Doesn't do Enough Justice!

I took my 5 yo niece and her nanna and PopPop on a lil vacation before she started kindergarten. This was a perfect place! Each night and morning, a deer and a fawn came to eat and play along with the rabbits in the grassy area on one side of the house. While sitting outside each day to watch, the sound of the creek on the other side of the house set up the perfect setting for adult relaxing and a child wonder moment! The creek was shallow enough to wade and splash around in and deep enough for my niece to "practice" her casting. The firepit was just right for each night's bonfire with smores! The house itself, extremely clean, games included, washer and dryer was a blessing as no dirty laundry when we got home, and the hot tub on the deck a great way to relax after a day of tourist running! Alisha was great to work with and easy to reach. She answered all questions quickly and helped with adding a day. I have no doubt we will be back as my niece told me so and she is the boss!
